PARADE Community Bulletin Board

 

 

Welcome to the "new" PARADE Community Bulletin Board. This will be a venue for our families to post messages that they feel would benefit others in our program. Examples of notices would include; Activities and classes offered outside of PARADE, Parent Groups, Meetings, Social Events, etc. The idea is that postings would be beneficial to our PARADE Families but not necessarily sponsored by the program. All postings must be approved by a PARADE staff member.

Text Box: CARNATION CARES HOLIDAY GIVING TREE True True (``````````` (``````````` 0 1737498 1860804 Attention Carnation Families:   Every year we are so blessed as a staff to have the support and kindness of such a caring community as Carnation.  This year, as a staff, we would like to request your assistance with a special community outreach project we are calling “Carnation Cares: Holiday Giving Tree.”  Often times, we overlook the “hidden poverty” right here in our own community, but as educators we know that there are many families in need for a wide variety of reasons.  During this holiday season we would like your help to reach out to these families and children in need.   Rather than purchasing small gifts and tokens of appreciation for the Carnation staff, we ask that you and your family consider “adopting” one of our children and families in need in our own community.   The “giving tree” gift tags will be located outside the school office and families and classes are welcome to take a tag, purchase the gift for the child on the tag, and return the gift (unwrapped) with the tag attached to the school office by Friday, December 14th.  These gifts will then be wrapped by Carnation students and delivered before the winter break to the “adopted families.”  Cash donations made out to the “Carnation Sunshine Committee” are welcome as well.    Come on Carnation, let’s show our community how much we CARE!   Sincerely, Mr. Poage & the Carnation Staff   PS> If you know of other families in need of support for the holidays please contact the school office or school counselor (844-4551).

23rd Annual Visual and Performing Arts

June 5-7, 2009 at the Seattle Center Fisher Pavilion and Center House

Free Admission

Highlights: Igorot Village Revisited is an outdoor village replica, complete with grass-thatched 

huts, that showcases the true traditional culture and history of the Igorot tribes of Northern

Luzon . The exhibit celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific

Exposition (AYPE), held during the 1909 World’s Fair in Seattle. 50 Igorots featured

a replica of their villages, showcasing their culture and life to the delight of millions

of visitors. With “Igorot Village Revisited”, we have the chance to share the experience

and enjoyment 100 years later, together with some of the identified descendants as well

as tribe members of those 50 participants in 1909!

 

At Seattle Center site we expose quality Filipino traditional and contemporary cultural arts/technology; introduce practitioners, native and non-native; and link the resources of governmental, private, corporate, and educational institutions.

The Festival was founded to commemorate the anniversary of Philippine Independence from Spanish colonial rule in 1898.

Come spend the weekend at the Pagdiriwang Philippine Festival and see the fun things going on at the Seattle Center grounds, with hands-on activities for the whole family.

Times:

Friday – Igorot Village tours by appointment

Saturday 10AM-7PM

Sunday 11-5PM

Hello Everyone,

I heard via a volunteer at Hopelink in Carnation that the shelves in the food bank are literally almost bare.  They are out of almost everything.  Please consider donating a bag of groceries, or personal care items, especially diapers, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc. or having your neighborhood or organization host a food drive.   

Thanks and spread the word,

Mary Wones
