School board glad to have a return to normal meetings

MEDICAL LAKE – Aside from taking care of a few mundane action items such as approving a surplus of old couches in the high school, most School Board members and adminstrators were thankful for being able to meet without masks, and to see all of the spring activities taking place.

Athletic Director and Assistant Principal Justin Blayne elaborated on that a bit during the meeting, explaining how spring sports are progressing.

“We have close to 170 students participating in Spring Sports programs,” Blayne said. “When you add the other non-sports programs like music and FFA, we have close to 250 kids participating in extra-curricular activities.”

He explained how the student also seem excited to get back and just play sports like they used to without having everything regulated and monitored quite so closely.

Board member Leo Spilker said he likes to see the public being able to utilize the school facilities again. The mat maulers youth wrestling group, and other youth basketball teams in the area have been able to return to utilizing the school’s resources to keep their programs up and running for practice.

Superintendent Tim Ames said he hopes for the district to keep moving in the same direction going forward.
