November 5, 2009: A Note From Beth...

Dear MSE Community,

One thing that has both amazed and humbled me over the years is our school community’s generosity and spirit during times of adversity.  Today, we again will come together to support the Sloan family, who lost their home to a fire yesterday.  Kevin, Valerie, Dhara, and Dustin are all okay, but unfortunately they lost both of their dogs.  

Valerie spent two years working as a primary and elementary assistant and Dhara is in extended day at Troutdale this year.  Dustin is ten weeks old.  We would like to support them in whatever way possible during this hardship.

All campuses will be collecting children’s clothes (Dhara currently wears a size 5 or 6; Dustin is in 0-3 months), as well as clothing for Valerie and Kevin.  Toys, shoes, furniture, housewares, gift certificates to restaurants, grocery stores, etc. are all greatly appreciated.  Monetary donations may also be made through Bank of the West in care of Valerie and Kevin Sloan.  The Sloan’s are staying in Evergreen and working with their insurance company to find housing.  I will keep you updated on the situation and how we can best help the family in the coming weeks.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dickie or me anytime.

Sincerely,

Beth
