February is Open Enrollment at TAF Academy in Federal Way

This week, I had the pleasure of taking a public tour of TAF Academy with Federal Way School Board President, Suzanne Smith. TAF stands for Technology Access Foundation, and "TAF Academy@ FWPS is a 6th through 12th grade public school that prepares students for college and life by using project-based learning rooted in science, technology, engineering and math."

Community Informational meetings are scheduled throughout the month

The academy is located on a small campus adjoining Totem Middle School within the Kent, West Hill neighborhood of Cambridge. The energy is high, the students focused, the teachers are skilled in their respective backgrounds & their excitement about this teaching approach is contagious. Definitely worth my time spent checking things out. Worth yours too.

 

       

I Saw What? Hummingbirds in Fife Heights for the Holidays!

So far, this little hummingbird and 3 others, are surviving our Northwest winter in my neighborhood - with a lot of help and love from my retired neighbors, Lyle & Colleen. I had the thrill of snapping this photo with my own 2 hands, waiting for about 15 minutes in the cold for her to show up. I'm not complaining -- look what this little one is wearing! And, her  internal temperature is normally around 104 degrees. To read more science about this phenomenon go to this article .
