Carole Jacobs, judge and board member, and Lynn Wilson, judge and administrator for business services and capital projects, sample tasty delights at the Kids Can Cook event.
Eighteen fourth-graders took over the district kitchen Jan. 25 for the fifth annual Kids Can Cook Competition, sponsored by Sodexo.
Students from Beachwood, Clarkmoor, Dower, Evergreen, Greenwood, Hillside, Idlewild, Lake Louise, Park Lodge and Tillicum Elementary Schools prepared unique recipes with the guidance of a student nutrition employee. The student chefs were responsible for their finished food products, including plate and table presentation.
A panel of judges tasted each recipe and had the difficult task of selecting just five winners in the following categories:
- Health-Conscious Foods: Kylee Kennedy, Greenwood, Banana Oatmeal Smoothie
- Kid-Friendly Preparation: Hope Heugel, Hillside, No-Bake Trail Mix Cookies
- Fun Foods: Kamyla McCormick, Evergreen, Fruity Croissant
- Best Table Presentation: Ryan Wynder, Evergreen, Ryan's Mystery
- Judge's Choice: Elijah Barragan, Evergreen, Pizza (Meat or Veggie)

Building new Clover Park Schools – A progress update
Posted by | CommentsDebbie LeBeau, Clover Park School District Superintendent
Thank You. Last February, Clover Park School District voters supported a crucial school construction bond to rebuild several outdated, aging schools. Voters responded with overwhelming support. First of all, thank you for your commitment to education and safe, quality facilities for the children in our community.
In this time of economical difficulty and increased demand for accountability, it is our commitment to our community that district staff will create buildings that inspire students and embody our educational priorities while managing taxpayer funds prudently. Therefore, we wanted to provide a progress report on our implementation efforts for the 2010 school construction bond to date.
