Free immunizations available

The North Bend Family Clinic will sponsor a free immunization

clinic from 9:30 a.m. to noon on May 20. The clinic is located at 406 Main

Ave. S. in North Bend. Call (425) 888-5511 to schedule an appointment.

Washington law requires that each student must have a completed

Certificate of Immunization Status on file with the school before their child

can attend classes. The certificate must show that a child is either fully

immunized, in the process of being immunized or is exempt for medical,

religious or personal reasons.

For a complete list of immunization requirements, call the school

your child will be attending in the fall or the district health services staff

at (425) 831-8023.

Car wash to benefit student

Mount Si High student Theresa Mueller will be holding a benefit

car wash on May 21 at the Bank of America in Carnation.

Mueller has been accepted to the Junior Statesmen Summer School

at Stanford University and needs to raise about $600 more to cover her

expenses.

Only 290 high school students are invited to participate in the

program each year. Mueller will have the opportunity to take college-level

courses and speak with California’s political leaders.

Herin receives EWU scholarship

Angelina Herin of North Bend has been selected to receive a

$2,000 scholarship for Eastern Washington University (EWU). She was

chosen for this award based on her academic accomplishments.

Herin is the daughter of James and Karen Herin and will graduate

from Mount Si High this year. She is involved in theatre, the Associated

Student Body, the National Honor Society, Pep Club and Teens as Teachers.

Herin plans to study theatre and microbiology at EWU.

SVSD students have talent

Four elementary students from the Snoqualmie Valley School District

recently excelled in the University of Washington’s John Hopkins

Talent Search Exam.

Fifth-graders Jeff Johnson of Snoqualmie Elementary, Dan

Reeves of Opstad Elementary, and Kyle Henry and Tyler Emsky of Fall City took

the exams earlier this year.

To receive an invitation to take the exam, students must score 97

percent or higher on the school district’s ITBS test in math or reading. This year

the Highly Capable Program invited 30 students to take the talent search exam.

Students who receive honors on the test can take summer school at

the University of Washington and other universities, participate in online

distance learning opportunities and receive computer software.
