Right Here at Home

In the past couple of weeks you might have seen information about two good causes cross your radar; we wanted to provide a bit more information about who they are and what they do for Medical Lake schools!

Along with your September pay warrants you received an automatic deduction sign-up sheet for Citizens for Medical Lake Schools, the group that supports our bond and levy campaigns. I've been lucky enough to attend several of their meetings in the past, and I'll personally attest that they're a good group that works hard for our kids.

With the simple majority measure being on the ballot soon, and the need for a new building for Medical Lake Elementary growing even greater as the years go on, our bond and levy committee can use all the support they can get. If you're so inclined, it's a great cause.

Another local group that does great things right here at home is Dollars for Scholars. The Cheney Free Press did a great article about their work here; the potential that their endowment drive has to help MLHS seniors on their way to college is incredible. Our own Carol Tyson is involved with the Cardinal STAR campaign; if you'd like more information (or to donate!) she'd be happy to help.

The MLEA gives several scholarships every year as part of Dollars for Scholars. If you're interested in being part of the group that looks at the scholarship applications, look for an email in the spring!
