"Feb 27th Luncheon: Mid-Columbia Partnership and Happy Birthday, Arden Vie"



Carrie de Forest and Kelly Anderson



Mid-Columbia Parent Parnership: 

Principals Carrie de Forest and Kelly Anderson presented a most interesting program regarding the  Mid-Columbia Parent Partnership to members today. The MCP, sponsored by the Kennewick School District, offers a variety of enrollment options to help meet the needs and desires of their students, and those students' families.

Options range from full-time Alternatvie Learning Experiences to part-time enrollment for home-schoolers wanting supplemental classes.

MCP was created in 2003 by several home-schooling families in conjunction with district personnel.

MCP partners with parents and offers support, knowledge, feedback and guidance. It also provides our State’s required consultations with both the child and parent, it encourages each parent’s active participation, and allows both parents and students a voice in the program’s development.

Thank you, Carrie and Kelly, for such a great presentation!  And - thank you members for such a great question/answer session following the presentation!!

Arden Vie: 

Leona Hassig introduced Arden Vie to members, today.  Mr. Vie celebrated his One-Hundredth birthday in January.  He hired Leona when she began her teaching career in the Tri-Cities in the early seventies.  The admiration in her voice was clearly evident.    

"Congratulations, and Happy Birthday, Arden!!"
