Ambitious and tenacious in my mission towards equitable education for each and every scholar. It takes a village! Together, we can and we WILL ignite change.

It was so wonderful to have our @PantherLakeFWPS community together last night for our Fall Fun Festival. We played games, ate all the good food, and laughed TOGETHER! Thankful to be part of this community 💙🐾💙#fwpsproud

Teachers are experts and lead when given the opportunity! Site equity team leads spent August deep in the work. Focusing, first, on the purpose of our team. This week, all teachers will be writing their individual purpose statements and reconnecting with their independent why!

Panther Lake crew hard at work getting ready for our 2022-2023 school year! Prioritizing PLC work to ensure EVERY Panther reaches their fullest individual potential! So proud of the work our staff does for our scholars!

Third grade scholars in Mr. Shook’s class at Panther Lake Elementary engaged in a learning discussion on fractions greater than one whole on a number line. Students will soon participate in state testing to demonstrate their math knowledge.

Young people can make us feel disrespected, hurt, frustrated, and angry. These are strong feelings. When adults react based on these feelings, it validates the young person’s behavior, and breaks a link in the chain of connection between. adult and young person.

Pause…respond.

Absolutely LOVE this!! The best things are happening in @FWPS210! What an absolutely engaging learning opportunity for @SilverLake_FWPS scholars!! Taiko has a rich history too! #crosscurricular #integratingarts #studentengagement 🙌🏼👏🏼🙌🏼

What happens when you combine percussion, PE, energy and exuberance? Cardio drumming! @SilverLake_FWPS PE Teacher Ms. Klaas used drumsticks, exercise balls and buckets to introduce scholars to cardio drumming, where you move, groove, and knock to the beat to a choreographed song.

Did you receive your ballot for the Feb. 8 Special Election? Remember, you can vote and return your ballot as soon as you receive it.

King County recommends mailing your ballot by the Friday before Election Day. In-person voting deadline is on Election Day by 8 p.m.

[Tabatha Ritch @PrincipalRitch]

So much fun with our scholars! Creativity at its finest.

Spirit Week continues at Panther Lake! Our own Mr. Harper is stepping out for “Twin “Day”! #PantherPride #FWPS210 #spiritweek

[FWPS210 @FWPS210]

Though we received one-time ESSER funding to help offset the financial impacts of the pandemic, this funding cannot sustain essential programming and staff long-term. The EP&O and Tech levies fuel our ability to provide scholars with ongoing equitable opportunities.

Our Kindergarten scholars loved sharing their recess with @drdpfeifferfwps today! #teamFWPS #PantherPride @FWPS210

[Tabatha Ritch @PrincipalRitch]

So fortunate to have such an incredibly dedicated superintendent! The kids had such a fun time at recess today! Also… @drdpfeifferfwps is quite good at tetherball! And, as one scholar shared, “she ties shoes so fast!” 💙🐾💙

[Dr. Dani Pfeiffer @drdpfeifferfwps]

@FWPS210 @PantherLakeFWPS enjoyed my time today helping at recess with our amazing kinder and 1st grade scholars! Whatever it takes-we are all in for scholars; they can play a fierce game of tetherball too! #TEAMFWPS
