winner in the 1999-2000 Tools for Tomorrow All-American Vocational
Student Awards program.
She will receive a personalized award certificate and a $100 gift

Townsend joins 1,500 other vocational-technical students from across the country
that were chosen to receive this honor.
Valley’s newest alumni
Daylin Davidson of North Bend recently earned a bachelor’s degree
in social sciences from Washington State University.
From Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Kellie Rauen
of Carnation was the recipient of a bachelor’s degree in art. Rauen
joined 334 other students who completed all degree requirements at CWU.
Cats win honors
Congratulations to the 52 horticulture and landscape students
from Mount Si High who competed in the Northwest Flower and Garden
Show recently.
The students’ window box garden displays won 16 blue ribbons and
two best of show awards. Six of the displays are currently on exhibit at
the high school.
CLIP slots open
Teens who have dropped out of high school can enroll in
the Riverview School District’s Contracted Learning Individualized
Program (CLIP) to earn credits or a diploma. The students must be
between the ages of 15 and 19 and reside in the Riverview School District.
The program is limited to 25 to 30 students and a few openings
were made available in late January. Enrollment is by instructor permission only.
Students must be able to study at home and meet individual
contract learning requirements. The goal of the program is to enable students to
earn high school credit and eventually earn a diploma or to prepare them for
re-entry into Cedarcrest High.

Openings for Multi-Age Program
The Riverview School District Alternative and Extended Learning
Programs, K-12, is now accepting applications for the Eagle Rock K-5
Multi-Age Program.
Applications and information packets are available at any school
or from the district office. The deadline is March 6. Visitations to the site
are by appointment only.
A parent/community informational meeting will be held at 7
p.m. on Feb. 17 at the Multi-Age site, 29300 N.E. 150th St., Duvall. However,
if there is snow on the ground or school has been canceled, the meeting
will be rescheduled for March 6.
Kindergarten applicants will be required to take an assessment test
on May 25 to determine if they are able to function socially in an all-day
setting with older students. Acceptance into the program is not based on
advanced academic abilities. Parents of kindergartners should also register
at their neighborhood school, since space is limited.
