Mission Statement
“Climb every mountain, meet every challenge.
Work together to reach the summit.
Take pride in the successes of each other.
Share what we have with others.
Look for and appreciate the diversity found in our world.
Keep laughter and learning in our lives.”
I acknowledge that I am on the Indigenous Land of Coast Salish people who have reserved treaty rights to this land, specifically the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe (sdukʷalbixʷ) and Duwamish (dxʷdəwʔabš). I thank these caretakers of this land who have lived and continue to live here since time immemorial.
