Aah! Do we have to make them up?

Fairhaven Realty — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 15:54:00 GMT

What a beautiful day this Thursday, January 26, 2012 is in Bellingham, WA! The sun is shining and not a cloud in site (at least from my vantage point)!

We are now back in our regular routines. The snow has disappeared. Children are back to school and wondering whether school makeup days will be extended into their very coveted summer vacation. It seems this is very likely as the state requires that students attend school for 180 days. Thus far, 2 of the 4 days missed due to snow have been added to the school year extending it through June 22, 2012. In harmony with the 2011-14 teacher’s contract, the additional 2-day makeup and possible future snow days are being negotiated between labor leaders, the school district and representatives from the Student and Parent Advisory Councils.

I have just checked the school website. All makeup days have been officially determined. The Revised Calendar for Bellingham Public Schools found at www.bellinghamschools.org outlines these makeup days-the remaining 2 missed school days will be made up on Friday, February 3, and Friday, March 23. As noted above, it was already determined that the first 2 days of the 4 days missed would be added to the end of the school year on June 21 and 22. So that being said, let’s hope the snow doesn’t grace us with its presence any further this year! *

4BR, 2 3/4BA Home/FANTASTIC PRICE!

Fairhaven Realty — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 14:04:00 GMT

The countryside is beautifully laden with snow as it continues to fall on this Tuesday, January 17, 2012 in Bellingham, WA. Bellingham schools and surrounding districts were closed today giving our “kids/grandkids” a great day for sledding or building forts or just staying in and reading (I rather like this option myself).

We have just listed a 4BR, 2 3/4BA home in Nooksack, WA at a fantastic price. Check it out!http://www.postlets.com/repb/6894450

Kudos for Squalicum High School's "Big Bad the Musical and Broadway Revue!

Fairhaven Realty — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 14:49:00 GMT

I drove by a sign that said, “Spring is here, finally!” Do you believe it? While the sun is presently shining in Bellingham, WA this Tuesday, April 19, 2011, it’s verrry cold. We’ve had snow in our foothills the past few days and it hailed in my neighborhood this morning. So while spring is technically here, the weather to support the claim isn’t cooperating.

I hope many of you parents, grandparents and friends of Squalicum High School students were able to attend Big Bad the Musical and Broadway Revue this past Wednesday through Sunday in their school auditorium. If you didn’t, you missed some great entertainment! Performing singers, Alec Smith (solos “Empty Chair at Empty Tables” from Les Miserables & “The Impossible Dream” from Man of LaMancha), Emma Schinker (the singer of “All that Jazz” from Chicago), Hannah & Gabrielle Hamilton (Phantom of the Opera piece) and Jake Booth (a leading role in Big Bad the Musical), were OUTSTANDING, as well as, their backup support in acting, musical accompaniment and dancing.

Proceeds from the musical will help enable SQHS Thespian Troupe’s national qualifiers to compete in Lincoln, Nebraska in June. The first performance on Wednesday evening was on a donation basis. The following evening performances were $8/per adult and $4 for children 12 and under. In my estimation, it was worth every penny spent and more. We attended the Friday evening show. Our family and friends were very impressed. My daughter who attended again on Saturday evening, said the performers did even better. I’m told that is true of the Sunday performance, as well.

“Kudos” to the drama teacher, Chelsey Campbell, for her tremendous effort, work and enthusiasm - so necessary for the success of any event and this event was, in my estimation, a TREMENDOUS SUCCESS!
