The Edmonds School Board has selected seven high school students from around the district to serve as student advisers during the upcoming school year. The students applied for the positions.
They include: Ali Al-Sadi, Edmonds Homeschool Resource Center; Kaleigh Ansdell, Lynnwood High School; Danait Kidane, Mountlake Terrace High School; Juan Marin, Edmonds-Woodway High School; Elizabeth Stafford, Edmonds-Woodway High School; Amanda Waldron, Edmonds-Woodway High School; and Leif Warren, Meadowdale High School.
Student advisers represent the perspectives and opinions of students on items under consideration by the school board. They participate in discussions and follow the rules and regulations pertaining to regular board members, but they do not have the right to make motions or vote. At the end of their terms, student advisers also may be eligible to receive a scholarship of up to $500 per student to attend post-secondary school.
Ex-military welcome at EdCC
Edmonds Community College was named a military-friendly school by G.I. Jobs magazine in August. And a new monument, called “From Boots to Books,” will be dedicated at 1 p.m. on Nov. 5 on the hill west of Brier Hall to recognize the service of U.S. veterans and welcome them as they return to school.
The student-led Club Vet spearheaded the monument project and designed the artwork to symbolically reach out to fellow veterans arriving on campus, letting them know there is help for them as they transition from soldiers to scholars.
The current president of Club Vet is Troy Montgomery, who served eight years in the U.S. Marine Corps, including two tours of duty in Iraq. Montgomery is now working toward his associate of science degree with plans to study mechanical engineering at the University of Washington.
