Happy Rhody Week! 🌸🐾

It’s the best time of year in Port Townsend! As we celebrate the 91st Annual Rhody Fest, we wanted to share a little extra joy from the district office.
Superintendent Rosenbury’s favorite sidekick, Walter, is ready for our community's vibrant traditions and festivities, and we hope you are too!
Whether you’re heading to the Grand Parade, participating in the Rhody Run, or just soaking in the blooms, we hope you have a safe and wonderful Rhody Week.

PTHS MOCK Trial placed 13th at State, but more importantly, worked through a key members' absence. Their ability to problem solve, regroup, and work as a team gives me so much hope for democracy, despite the daily news! Well Done!
