Have you returned your ballot yet? The Nov 3 election is just over a week away!

Of the more than 27,000 registered voters in our community, only about 15% have returned their ballots so far, including just 10% of our families. That means thousands of ballots are still out there.

Time is running out to return your ballot by mail. Consider using one of our community's secure ballot drop boxes instead to make sure it's received on time:

📍 Salem Woods Elementary – NEW!
📍 Maltby Elementary – NEW!
📍 Monroe Library

All three locations are open 24 hours a day until 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov 3.

Already voted? Make sure your ballot has been accepted by checking its status at www.VoteWA.gov.

As we wrap up Fire Prevention Month, we want to give a big shoutout to our local public service partners for helping our students learn important fire safety lessons! 🚒

A special congratulations to Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue's Public Information & Education Officer, Kaitlin King, who was recently named Fire Educator of the Year!

This award recognizes professionals in Fire and Life Safety Education whose dedication to risk reduction and community education makes a meaningful and lasting impact.

In these photos, Kaitlin is helping our third graders learn the importance of having a fire escape plan at home and at school, along with getting to know the "nose" in their homes. You know, the smoke detector! It's an important reminder that being prepared and knowing what to do in an emergency can make all the difference.

Congratulations, Kaitlin, on this well-deserved honor! Thank you for all you do for our school community and for helping keep our students and families safe and prepared!
