Mill Creek students, teacher earn thanks
Rhonda Kaleiwahea, P.E. teacher at Mill Creek Elementary School, was honored June 3 when the American Heart Association visited the school to thank students for this year’s successful jump rope fund-raising season and to thank Kaleiwahea for her years of leadership in the event.
This year the students set a goal of raising $17,000 for the American Heart Association and raised $22,500. That puts them far ahead of any school in the state. They are also the only school in the state to have ever raised more than $20,000 in one year. Over the last 11 years, Kaleiwahea’s class activities have raised more than $100,000 for the association.
Register for August WASL retakes
High school students can register to retake the Washington Assessment of Student Learning test online at www.k12.wa.us/waslregistration.
Students can retake one or more portions of the test. Seniors must pass the reading and writing portions of the WASL or complete an alternative to earn a diploma.
Students who have not taken the test before and those who have moved to Washington from other states may take the test in August. Students who have taken the test before are also welcome to retake in August.
Registration will continue through June 27.
To register online, students need their 10-digit State Student Identification number. School districts should be able to help students locate their numbers.
Students can also register on the phone by calling the toll-free number 866-400-WASL between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.
