A word from Toledo School District Superintendent Chris Rust:

Dear Parents, Staff and Community Members,

Our school community recently took part in an online learning process about facilities. We’ve reviewed your thoughts and priorities and now we want to share the results with you.

Visit our results website to learn about the top priorities in our school and the top priorities of the district.

From the 85 people who contributed, we learned more about how our stakeholders feel about current concepts regarding facilities planning. I think that you’ll find that our community has much to say about our facilities and there is quite a bit of agreement on what is needed going forward. Our Facilities Advisory Committee is using this information to create a facilities master plan and to make recommendations to the Board regarding a bond measure in February, 2017.

Again, thank you so much for contributing to the success of our schools and district. Your participation in the process was invaluable.

Sincerely,
Chris Rust
Superintendent

Speaking of Native Peoples, I noticed a typical monthly Lewis County Seniors Nutrition Lunch menu (available Wednesdays and Fridays at Toledo’s Senior Center) differs significantly from the Cowlitz Elders Lunch program. Frankly, I prefer the Cowlitz meals with fewer empty carbs and such delicacies as baked salmon and liver & onions. (Yeah, I’m one of those - I LIKE liver & onions.) However my 23andme.com results indicate I’ll never qualify to sit down to share food with my neighbors...except at the upcoming 17th Annual Cowlitz Indian Pow Wow September 17, 2016 at Toledo High School.

Liver and onions,have to comment. Liver is the highest cholesterol food that you can eat. Caution on this if your cholesterol is high.

Hi Marlea,
The Community Library is collecting board games for Middle, High School age students. We are interested in starting a "game day" after school a couple times a month. More information to come.
Thanks, Pat
