If you haven't seen it yet, please enjoy this virtual performance from Licton Spring's Robert Eagle Staff Middle School. Although we may be physically apart, we can still make music together. The love and joy of learning a subject does not necessarily have to only occur in a classroom.
To learn more about the group's performance, check out the article from KIRO.
We received some questions from neighbors about the public hours for the Cascadia Elementary playground. We learned from the Licton Springs Community Council that the playground is expected to be open to the public in the evenings after school lets out (2:30PM) during the week and on weekends. Occasionally, there may be times when it's closed to the public for school based events. The playground gate can be locked by accident but if it is locked you can call SPS Safety and Security at 206.252.0707 and request that they unlock it.
As a follow-up, we are looking into the public hours for the track. Do you know them? Let us know in the comments!
Cascadia Elementary School and Robert Eagle Staff Middle School are looking for volunteers to help with grounds beautification!

This is a great opportunity to pitch in for the greater good, build some community, and help make the neighborhood schools beautiful!
In addition to getting your caffeine fix at Pilgrim Coffee (located at Oak Tree Plaza) who have expanded their hours to 7am to 3pm, you can now enjoy lunch at food trucks located at North Seattle College from 11am - 2pm on weekdays. The food truck changes each day and you can find the menu here.
Have you had a chance to check out one of these food trucks? Let us know in the commments!
We recieved the below request for volunteers from the Friends of Robert Eagle Staff Middle School PTSA to help beautify the school grounds at Robert Eagle Staff Middle School.
"Please join Eagle Staff MS parents and community members to help pull weeds at Eagle Staff, specifically starting in/around the parking lot areas. Once finished out front, we will move to the west & back sides of the school. Compost bags, gloves, tools, ice cold beverages will be provided. If you prefer, you are welcome to BYO gloves, weeding tools, hat and a water bottle. Many hands make light work and this effort to care for our school grounds will instill pride for students, staff and families at your school, model environmental stewardship and ensures we are a good neighbor in our community. It will be great to see what we can accomplish together!!!"
30+ Volunteers Needed! Show up and join this team effort for 30 minutes or a few hours:
Update: A second, 20 yard, dumpster has been delivered, now until July 31st, to continue the effort that has begun. Please consider volunteering throughout July, on Mondays, 6pm-8:30pm!
