Congratulations!
There are not many words to adequately express thanks to someone who has committed a large portion of their life to teaching children. So, thank you, and congratulations to Mr. Davis for 35 years and to Mrs. Rimstad for 25 years. Your dedication is appreciated.
Also, goodbye & congratulations on her retirement to Mrs. Belcher. We hope your last year spent at Picnic Point was a good one.

Listserv
If you are not already aware, our school district and school have an electronic notification system called "Listserv". This is an email distribution system that parents can sign up for to have school district information and school-specific information sent to them via email.
If you are not already receiving email notices from either source you can register your email address on the school district's website: http://www.mukilteo.wednet.edu/community/community.cfm?ref=1&lref=112. Simply check the box for Picnic Point to be on our school's list. You can also check the box for Mukilteo School District Information. This is also the link you can use to unsubscribe or change your email address.
Some families find it helpful to enroll both parents, other family members or caretakers so everyone is in the loop!
