Cash donations can help buy haircuts and specific supplies for children. The school also appreciates donated supplies, such as backpacks, pencil pouches and three-ring binders.

Registration for kindergarten and new students resumes that day.
More info: 425-670-8984, ext. 22, tinyurl.com/ResourceFair.
Everett: Downtown changes approved
City leaders approved several key changes to Everett code that should help businesses in the downtown core.
One change allows the planning director to consider individual applications to use unusual building spaces in ways not normally permitted. Another allows small wineries and distilleries to set up shop as long as they’re located with a restaurant, retail shop or tasting room.
The city already allows micro-breweries downtown and the changes now treat wine and liquor the same as beer. The new rules should be available by request at the city Clerk’s Office at 2930 Wetmore Ave.
The complete ordinances the City Council considered is available online at tiny.cc/pzxxo.
