Ferret vs Weasel

June 23, 2020 by Larry Hubbell 2 Comments

Tuesday (6-23-20) 11:30 a.m. This ‘ferret’ was last seen under the green dumpster on E. Louisa St. immediately east of 24th Avenue. It has white paws and a black tip to its tail. Owner wanted asap. It successfully dodged traffic crossing and recrossing 24th but it is a dangerous undertaking.

After some more reading I have learned that ferrets have tails about 5 inches long and weasels have tails nearly as long as their body. Based on this new information I am concluding this is actually a weasel. Maybe it has been attracted by all the rabbits.

Car Parade Tonight- Help Celebrate our Montlake Elementary 5th Graders!

June 18, 2020 by ssandall 3 Comments

The 2019-2020 school year has been a year of firsts for our Seattle students. Despite the challenges, students and teachers have risen to the occasion and worked hard to make the best of this unique time in history.

Graduation for the Montlake Elementary 5th graders took place virtually last night on Zoom. Tonight, we will celebrate our graduates “in-person” by having a Montlake neighborhood car parade. The parade route starts at 6:00pm at the Montlake Community Center parking lot. Cars will proceed to Montlake Elementary School via E. Lynn St and E. Calhoun St. Once at the front of the school, teachers and Principal Pearson will greet the graduates and present them with their diplomas.

We encourage everyone in the neighborhood to walk outside for a few minutes, find a spot on the route, and cheer these kids on! We have encouraged students and their families to honk, cheer, and let out some wolf howls. It would be amazing to have the whole neighborhood join in. Let’s make some noise for these kids!

Montlake Elementary monthly paper

May 4, 2020 by MontlakeFlyer Leave a Comment

Montlake-Monthly-April-Neighborhood-edition.docxDownload

Hello Montlake Community,
The Montlake Elementary school started a monthly paper this year that is run by a number of students with help and oversight by the librarian. 
We had hoped to print copies this month and deliver to your door to show the Montlake community that we are all one. With the restrictions that we are currently under, we’ve moved this to an electronic copy. 
Our hope is that this entertains, informs, and brings a smile to your face today. 
Please enjoy and stay safe.  – Lisa and Kerri (Parents)

Boyer Children’s Clinic provides evaluations and services via virtual visits

April 15, 2020 by Montlake Flyer Leave a Comment

Boyer Children’s Clinic, a cornerstone of the Montlake community since 1942, is the Puget Sound’s premier provider of Early Intervention services for children birth to three with developmental delays and disabilities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Boyer continues to accept referrals for therapies, including physical, occupational and speech. We are offering our full array of high-quality services – therapy, education, medical, and family support – via virtual visits (video conferencing and/or telephone).

Boyer’s Medical Director, Dr. Jennie McLaurin, is also available to provide developmental and behavioral screenings to determine whether your child would benefit from a referral for Early Intervention services. Dr. McLaurin is a designated “Center of Excellence” for autism spectrum diagnosis, meaning she has the unique expertise to screen for autism expeditiously.

If you have concerns about your child’s development, please contact us; we know that a child’s brain is 85% developed by age three, and Boyer is available now to provide evaluations and services. To make an appointment, please contact Boyer Children’s Clinic in either of the following ways:

• Call us and leave a voicemail at (206) 325-8477. We are checking messages consistently and will return your call shortly.

• Email info@boyercc.org and a staff member will be in touch.

Research shows that services provided through virtual visits are as successful as in-person services, and our families have confirmed that scheduling/participating in virtual visits are simple and beneficial for their children. Here is a short video that offers insight into the benefits of Boyer’s care through virtual visits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbA68l-Db00&feature=youtu.be

Boyer remains committed to our mission of providing care to all who need us, regardless of financial circumstances. We are working tirelessly to reduce barriers to access, such as providing interpreters for all virtual visits, and providing tablets, internet access, and data when families need them. Please reach out to us at any time with questions or to schedule an appointment.
