This past week, our school community, in partnership with members of the PTSA, have focused on our school budget for the next year. It's a challenging budget this year, and I am thankful for the voices and support of parents on our budget committee and their contributions to the decision-making process.

On Tuesday, March 11th, we will hold a PTSA meeting at 6:00 pm in the cafeteria. Please come join us to learn more about the budget and how you can help.

The Accounting Career Awareness Program is pleased to invite applicants from WA state high school students of color to its Summer 2025 Residency Week program at the University of Washington's Foster School of Business. Our mission is to help underrepresented students realize academic and career opportunities in accounting and business.

This free, week-long residential program for rising WA state high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors introduces participants to accounting and the many opportunities offered in a career field actively seeking to diversify its workforce. Participants reside on campus, learn in and out of the classroom, visit accounting firms, build valuable life skills, and network with other students and diverse professionals while enjoying a taste of campus life.

This program is 100% free and includes housing in campus dorms, food, and all activities.

This program offers a unique and enriching opportunity for students to take part in the legislative process by observing the legislature and other branches of state government. As Senate Pages, students will assist offices and legislators, deliver materials and messages on the chamber floor, and attend page school. Page school is designed to help students understand daily tasks and Senate floor activity, eventually allowing them to participate in the bill-making process through a mock hearing debate. In addition, pages have the opportunity to meet guest speakers who share insights into the legislative process and how session functions.

Senate Pages will have the opportunity to create connections, learn about the legislative process, and gain valuable insights into state government. Additionally, students will earn a stipend of $65 a day and may be eligible for community service or scholarships. Scholarships and host family housing accommodations are available for students.

Application requirements include:

• Must attend school in Washington State
• Must be 14 to 16 years old at the time they participate in the program
• Must have parents or legal guardians
• Need approval and recommendation from a teacher and principal

I highly encourage students from the 37th District to apply for this incredible opportunity. The application deadline is March 27th, and applications can be submitted via this link: https://app.leg.wa.gov/pageapplication/

We invite you to join us for our next PTSA meeting on 3/11, at 6:00 pm, in the cafeteria. If you have any questions about PTSA, please reach out PTSA President Castalia Simon at casimon@seattleschools.org.

To our Muslim family at Cleveland: Ramadan Mubarak. We wish you all the blessings of the Holy month.

It is important to us as a school community that we support all students who participate in the Ramadan fast this month. Our staff will be mindful and supportive of students who participate in fasting this month by refraining from having food and drinks in class, restrict the playing of music, provide accommodations students may need in their classes, and offer our library as a "food-free" space during this time for our students to hang out during lunch.

During Ramadan, students will be able to pray at 12:30-12:45 in Room 1141. They should inform their teacher and be out of class no more than 15 minutes. Students who can bring their own prayer rugs are encouraged to do so, in the event that we run short.

Please take a moment and complete CNEEP form here. We need all families to complete this form, regardless of your income level.

As we enter into a challenging budget season, the data collected from this form will have a significant impact on how much funding receive. We appreciate you taking the time to fill out this survey today!
