Friday eNews

In the fall of 1969, entering my sophomore year at JFK, I noticed a slightly older teacher wandering the halls. Thirty-nine was 'slightly old' to a 16-year old.

We are looking forward to a memorable Grandparents Day on Friday, May 3.

This is always a fun and memorable celebration. Please visit our website to RSVP. Questions? Contact Yesenia Barajas at 206.957.9719. Thank you and we hope to see you there!
