Make a Difference in One Hour! – Tutors Needed to Inspire Struggling Young Readers at Sanislo Elementary!

Reading Partners is a literacy non-profit that mobilizes community volunteers to provide one-on-one tutoring to struggling elementary student readers.

No experience is required to volunteer! We seek volunteers who can commit 1 hour/week through the end of the year (time is running out!).

We have the following session times still available:

9:25-10:10 (Tues, Weds, Thurs)

11:00-11:45 (Mon)

12:30-1:15 (Weds)

2:30-3:15 (Tues)

Tutors are paired to work with the same student and are provided with an easy-to-follow curriculum that includes all of the books, worksheets, and step-by-step lesson plans to teach an effective lesson. Reading Partners also has a staff Site Coordinator who is available to support tutors at all times. Volunteers make an enormous impact: on average, students double their rate of learning while enrolled in the program.

Hi there – the forum is particularly quiet on sunny weekends so you might not get member responses until Monday or so. Since we keep a comprehensive calendar at

https://westseattleblog.com/events

I can suggest a few things – this is a recurring Monday morning event:

https://westseattleblog.com/ai1ec_event/art-block-for-toddlers-preschoolers/?instance_id=442519

This city brochure mentions the “toddler gyms” at two West Seattle city-run community centers on Mondays (ages 5 and under):

http://www.seattle.gov/parks/Children/files/sw_brochure.pdf

If you can spare some time, the bigger community center brochure (lots and lots of activities for all ages) is worth a browse – it covers all the WS community centers:

http://www.seattle.gov/parks/brochures/WestSeattle/SWSummer2015.pdf

That’s a start, anyway. Good luck!

And bragging about shutting down the west coast?

” of the ILWU,” said Dave Arian, who worked at the docks for 44 years and now runs the union-supported Harry Bridges Institute, a nonprofit that educates workers on labor history. “A small workforce with the ability to shut down the entire West Coast.””

Hi all. So I’ve lived on 41st for 6 years now. I park every day right in front of my house. It’s a grouping of 4 small houses and we all know each other. No other houses are near us (by w seattle standards). So until a year ago (that’s 5 years!) I never had an issue with parking. Well, an issue with parking yes, but I only mean people treating my street as a free parking lot. A year ago the power-trip-parking-“police” lady began taking an interest in our street. She started by chalking tires and then stepped it up to chalking all around all 4 tires. 6 months or so ago I got a ticket for $44 because my car hadn’t moved for 48 hours. I contacted the number but was told I would have to go to court to fight it so I sucked it up and paid it. Well, today I noticed a “notice to tow” sticker and ticket on my car. It was parked for just under 48 hours. Now come the lies. First there is a ticket for being in the same spot for 72 hours (not even close…) and second there’s a notice saying someone complained. Like I said there’s only 4 families in the vicinity and we all know each other and joke about the public treating our street like a parking lot. What am I supposed to do? I’m not going to keep shelling out for tickets and it’s a ridiculous notion that I should have to go to court to argue parking in front of my own house. What would you suggest? Thanks and sorry for the novel.

I am in need of a new roof and it looks like its been a while since the last roofer discussion on the blog. Can someone recommend a good licensed and bonded roofer?

Raynproof Roofing (recommended last time) seems to have a disconnected number.

A Better Roofing Co. (206-935-1575) is already on my list from the last discussion as is John Michael Roofing & Skylights (206-201-1148) who is booked out quite a way into the spring, but appears highly recommended. Has anyone had experience with Silver Star Roofing (206-734-3844)? Any other recommendations?

Thanks!

Our events are a lot of fun and it’s a great way to give back to your community and make some friends along the way. Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Debra at 206-932-4044 ext. 8 or debrag@seniorservices.org for more information. Thank you for your interest!

Some years ago, on a Thursday night, I was heading home south bound on California when I was detoured west on Oregon as preparations for the West Seattle Street Fair were underway. In front of me were hundreds of workers setting up in the middle of the street. As I went around the junction I thought about how cool it would be if California between Oregon and Edmonds were, permanently, a pedestrian mall. If traffic were to go around the junction, one way, in a counter clockwise direction parking loss on California could be compensated for by diagonal parking on the adjacent streets. Alaska could be busses only between 42nd and 44th. I visualized a beautifully landscaped area with benches, public art, a kids play area, and perhaps a fountain. It wouldn’t take much to get the restaurants to provide outdoor seating.

I thought of U Village.

At the time I floated these ideas here on the forum and was, sadly, met with the usual resistance to change.

I think the City is now encouraging this type of development by providing funds to go in this direction.
