Woodside names interim principal

With the resignation of Woodside Elementary Principal Judy Blum-Anderson this summer, the Everett School District has announced Eldon Allen as interim principal.

Allen, of Stanwood, will fill the duties for the 2005-06 school year, which begins Sept. 7.

Allen retired this spring as assistant superintendent of the Stanwood-Camano School District, where he also was formerly an elementary and middle school principal for 16 years.

Blum-Anderson is moving to be closer to her 93-year-old father. She was Woodside’s principal for seven years.

EdCC offers 9/11 event for democracy

Edmonds Community College will participate in The September Project, a grassroots effort to encourage public events on freedom, democracy, and citizenship, on Sept. 11 in libraries.

“After September 11, people gathered at local libraries to share a sense of community,” said the college’s reference librarian Monica Tobin.

EdCC, with the Interfaith Association of Snohomish County, will present a panel discussion by local religious leaders about ways to find common humanity in a world of religious and cultural difference. Panelists will represent Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Bahai and Buddhist faiths.

“A Faith-Based Discussion of Conflict and Humanity,” will be 1-3 p.m., Sept. 11 at the Edmonds Community College library, third floor Lynnwood Hall, 20000 68th Ave. W., Lynnwood. Co-sponsored by the Edmonds Community College Foundation, this event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
