Sanae Ishida Visits Sac
Join the Parent Equity Team in the school cafeteria on Thursday, March 21 from 5:30-7:00pm as we welcome local author and illustrator Sanae Ishida for a presentation, Q&A, and watercolor demonstration.
Make sure to bring a favorite book (or two!) that celebrates inclusivity, diversity and/or different cultures for a book swap. A free pizza dinner will be provided!
Your RSVP is requested to help us plan dinner.
MLK March
We will meet at the Garfield Community Center playground on Cherry Street at noon. To take public transit, we recommend taking light rail to UW Light Rail Station (or parking at UW; free for the holiday), then taking bus route 48 (leaving from NE Pacific St & Montlake Blvd NE, across from the stadium). Get off at 23rd Ave & E Cherry St and walk to the playground across the street. From the playground, we will join the 12:30 pm march from Garfield High School. If you only want to march halfway and you took public transit, you can stop at Cal Anderson Park and take the light rail back to UW. If you march the whole way (about 2 miles) and join the rally at the end, you can take the light rail from Westlake.
