Laurelhurst Washington Achievement Award Recipient
We are happy to report that our school is a recipient of the 2012 Washington Achievement Award. We are being honored for Achievement in Science!
This is an extraordinary accomplishment and is a direct reflection of the hard work of our students, the dedication of our teachers, and the support and guidance of our parents. You can be very proud of everyone at Laurelhurst!
The Washington Achievement Awards are sponsored by the Washington State Board of Education and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. They celebrate the state’s top-performing schools and recognize achievement in many categories. This highly-selective award is based on our school’s performance on the Achievement Index and uses criteria set by the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) flexibility waiver.

Instumental Music Concerts
Tuesday, May 21 at 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm
Our 4th and 5th Grade Instrumental Music students will be performing twice on Tuesday, May 21st. Come join us and celebrate what the students have accomplished this year!
There is a 2:15 pm concert/assembly for the school community which will take place in the school Cafeteria (all are welcome to attend). In addition, there is a 7:00 pm concert at Lincoln High School Auditorium (4400 Interlake Ave N in Wallingford) in collaboration with the Brass Band Northwest. The Brass Band Northwest was founded in 2002 with the goal of sharing the vibrant and exciting sound of all-brass music with audiences of all ages in the Pacific Northwest. The Brass Band Northwest is grounded in the tradition of the British brass band, with all brass instrumentation. The group is composed of professional, semi-professional, and amateur musicians including one Laurelhurst Teacher (Mrs. Tutt) and one Laurelhurst Elementary Parent (Dr. Judson Scott). We are very much looking forward to welcoming the Brass Band Northwest for the evening concert.
