SOTA team wins grand prize in WSU competition
A Tacoma School of the Arts (SOTA) team won the grand prize in Washington State
University’s 2009 Imagine Tomorrow competition with their “environmentorship” project,
“Change Starts Now: an Environmental Revolution.” SOTA will receive $5,000, as will
each team member. Imagine Tomorrow is a high school competition that encourages
students across the state to think about and tackle energy issues. The topic of the
competition is: How would you power your future?
The SOTA team won second prize in 2008 with “Change Starts Now” in the behavior
category of the first Imagine Tomorrow competition. The team fleshed out the project for
the 2009 competition after teaching their curriculum to Mason Middle School students
for a year. Team advisor Cyrus Brown, a SOTA science and math teacher, said the
team put in more than 1,000 hours on the project.
The SOTA team also won a 2009 Tacoma City of Destiny Award for environmental
sustainability with the project. Furthermore, Jake Stortini, one of the seniors on the
team, was presented the Jonathan R. Ketler Award for leadership at his June 1
graduation ceremony.
Stortini and team members MacGregor Tadie, Isaac Solverson and Logan Jones
graduated this spring, leaving Joe Holcomb to carry on the team’s spirit with new
members for the 2010 competition. Emi Brizuela, a member of the first team, graduated
in 2008.
“Change Starts Now” is a year-long mentorship-type project to teach eighth graders
about energy, environmental issues and sustainability with the expectation of impacting
their attitudes and behaviors about these issues. The course uses an integrated
approach with the Tacoma Public Schools’ science curriculum to help students put their
learning in context; it is taught once a week.

TPS students earn varsity letter in community service
June 5, 2009
Images of the week
Thirty students from the Tacoma Public Schools (TPS) earned a varsity letter in
community service in partnership with United Way of Pierce County at the recent
awards ceremony with Gov. Christine Gregoire, who presented the varsity letters. These
TPS students are part of an elite group of 222 devoted high school volunteers from 31
high schools and 16 public school districts, and they averaged 235 hours of community
service each.
Pierce County is the only county in the United States with this kind of broad participation
by high schools and school districts in a community service/varsity letter program,
according to Bethany Opstedal, Youth United program manager with United Way of
Pierce County.

Washington-Hoyt earns award from DOE
Washington-Hoyt Elementary School was awarded a Terry Husseman Sustainable
Schools Award from the Washington Department of Ecology for the work the staff and
students have done through the Green Schools program.
A small group of PTA members and teachers launched the Green Schools program in
the fall of 2007 with assistance from the city of Tacoma’s Solid Waste Department and
the EnviroChallenger program and the support of the principal, teachers and other staff
members. Their first goal was to reduce solid waste by reducing the amount of material
used and increasing recycling.
The city of Tacoma helped Washington-Hoyt do an audit of solid waste to see how
much waste the school generated before they implemented the program.
Each classroom saw a recycling presentation on how to recycle. Teachers appointed a
recycling monitor each week for their own classroom. Recycling of milk cartons began in
February 2008 during the fourth- and fifth-grade lunches. Two fourth or fifth graders
volunteered to serve as Green Partners for the week. This recycling program saved
9,000 milk cartons for recycling that would have been consigned to the landfill.

Expansion of 403(b) TSA program to include two plans
On July 23, 2007, the Internal Revenue Service issued new regulations regarding public
school 403(b) plans. These regulations are the first comprehensive rewrite of the rules
affecting Section 403(b) arrangements in 43 years. The regulations are effective Jan. 1,
2009, and require significant additional oversight by employers, including plan adoption
and documentation, limits testing and oversight of hardships, loans and eligibility.
The primary intent of the regulations is to reduce the difference between Section 403(b)
and 401(k) plans, enhance plan compliance, and establish a more structured retirement
program for employees in the tax-exempt sector. The regulations have dramatically
changed the manner in which 403(b) plans have been managed historically. An
unfortunate consequence of the new regulations is that a number of investment vendors
(i.e., insurance and mutual fund companies) have decided to discontinue selling 403(b)
investment vehicles. Under the regulations, employers have been allocated increased
responsibilities as plan sponsors and are required to take a more active role in
administering their 403(b) plans.

Life skills training has students asking for more
Fifteen students at Jason Lee Middle School who took the recent life skills training
program left the 10-week course wanting more. The main goals of the program are to
teach prevention-related information, promote anti-drug norms, teach drug-refusal skills
and to foster the development of person self-management and general social skills.
These graduates of the life skills class decided that they were not ready for the training
to be over and wished for it to continue to the end of the school year, said Korinna
Barth, truancy services facilitator. The students will attend an open communications
class until the end of the school year, and all intend to take the second series of the life
skills class beginning next year. Barth said, “We are so proud of them for recognizing
the success that can happen by using the class lessons.”

Retirement events
Myking to retire after 40 years teaching
“Children keep our hearts young” is the mantra of Birney Elementary School’s All-Star
kindergarten teacher Marlene Myking. For 40 years, she has taught kindergarten
students with joy and lots of love. She believes that educating children has always
centered on hands-on experiences. Painting, cutting, pasting and hearing lots of music
have been staple activities in her classroom.
Children learn best through experiences, and she certainly has provided these over the
many years teaching in the district. Trips to pumpkin farms, zoos, parks, bakeries—
these are only a few of the multiple trips her students have taken. Her patience knows
no boundaries, and she uses a soft tone for all her students, along with a wonderful
smile.
Stadium H.S.’s first Aquarama
featured Olympic medalists Megan
(Quann) Jendrick and Margaret
Hoelzer. There were many
activities such as a swim-a-thon
fundraiser and skim board
demonstrations.
Birney will celebrate Marlene Myking Day on Tuesday, June 9, when she will be Queen
for a Day. Each grade level will take an hour during the school day to go to her room
and do something special for her. At the end of the day, the entire school will hold an
assembly in her honor. Music teacher Jane Stillman has written a song just for Myking
and the students will sing it during the assembly. Former students will share their
memories of Myking. The school staff members have prepared a slide show tribute of
her 40 years as a teacher at Birney.
A retirement celebration will follow the assembly. Birney staff would like to invite anyone
who knows Marlene Myking to help the school celebrate the wonderful memories of a
beloved teacher.

Medical unit sends battle flag, plaque to Baker
Baker Middle School’s art teacher, Mimi Harris, has a son-in-law who is a staff sergeant
stationed with an Army medic unit in Iraq. Harris's students made some pieces of art,
and sixth-grade science teacher Steven Carlsen had his students write letters earlier
this year. Baker recently received a plaque and flag from the medic unit. The flag is an
actual flag that was flown on a helicopter while in Iraq. The plaque reads: "Dear
Students of Baker Middle School, your encouraging words helped many soldiers more
than you will know. I dedicate this United States flag to you. Your patriotism will never
be forgotten. Staff Sergeant Peter M. Woken"
Baker had a guest speaker, Dick Raymond, come to talk to the social studies classes
recently. Raymond is 87 and is the only surviving member of the Naval Ship Astoria
from World War II. He was in the battle of Midway and Guadalcanal, among others.
Raymond told amazing stories of survival and of how he believes that our students are
capable of finding another way of solving problems. He was amazing. Teacher Mark
King invited Raymond to Baker.—Kimberly Olson, instructional facilitator, Baker M.S.

SOTA students one of 119 selected artists from ESDs
Tacoma School of the Arts student Ellington Tunes was a regional winner with
“Television” in the 36th annual Superintendent’s High School Art Show. This is a
statewide competition which is themed, “Arts Are Emotional Experiences.” State
Superintendent Randy Dorn honored the high school artists at a reception on May 29 at
the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
There were 119 high school winners whose artwork was selected for the statewide
competition from each of the state’s nine Educational Service Districts.
First Stadium Aquarama a success
Stadium High School put on the first annual Aquarama on May 30. The Aquarama
brought together all aspects of aquatics in an event-filled, activity-driven, informational
event. There were activities all day in the swimming pool that culminated in a movie in
the pool area while everyone floated around and watched. Northwest Swim Shop is a
local swim shop which brought product, and also provided an opportunity to win an
Olympic swim cap autographed by Michael Phelps.
The greatest attraction, however, was the appearance of Olympic medalists Megan
Jendrick (Quann) and Margaret Hoelzer who spoke of their Olympic experiences and
swimming in general, answered questions, and then signed autographs. The highlights
also included a 120-foot tank of water with ramps in the Stadium courtyard set up by DB
Skim Boards. The company-sponsored athletes put on a great demonstration, and
provided lots of information for those interested in learning how to skim board.
In all, this was an amazing day and event, and the Stadium organizing committee wants
to thank everyone who helped, those who came to the event, the vendors and the
Olympians. They also want to announce the second Aquarama in late May of 2010.—
David Baughman, Stadium H.S.
