NBC Seattle KING 5 News Story on Juan Diego Academy Holy Rosary Tacoma, from Mild-Mayhem to Mellow. Quiet Lunches During Lent

We were delighted to have KING 5 reporter Eric Wilkinson join us in Tacoma at Juan Diego Academy this week. Wilkinson did lunch with us on Wednesday at this 120 year old school at the parish of Holy Rosary, for a day of indoor recess and a, let's just say "jovial buzz" of conversation.  Come Friday what this NBC reporter saw was an entirely different side of the entire student body.  Some might even call it... angelic.  Watch his report here.  It's pretty cute!

Imagine: quiet lunches on Fridays during Lent.  Parents of preschoolers who can't imagine their kids enjoying silent lunches during Lent 2013, but who are intrigued by the idea, should hop over to their website and get info on admissions for next year when the school officially rolls out its two way immersion, dual language program starting with pre-k and kindergarten learners.

Too Legit: Post Prohibition, Woodinville Whiskey Co. Bottles Delivered Legally to Above Ground Bar and a Seattle Icon

KOMO News snuck a snapshot of a deal going down this morning.  Their report: "In an event notable for its lack of Tommy guns, paddy wagons and Al Capone, the Space Needle received the state’s first private delivery of liquor since Prohibition.
The state's first private delivery of liquor since Prohibition goes down at the Space Needle


Thanks to November’s voter-approved initiative, Woodinville Whiskey Co’s distributor, Click Wholesale Distributing of Kent, was able to sell and deliver its shipment of the local distillery's Headlong White Dog Whiskey and Peabody Jones Vodka to the Needle at 9 a.m. this morning.

March 1 is the first day bars and restaurants in Washington can buy directly from distilleries since the state-run liquor system started in the 1930s.

But, the average drinker won’t be able to purchase alcohol from private retailers until June. So far, more than 800 stores have applied to sell liquor statewide."

Juan Diego Academy at Holy Rosary Tacoma School Gets Techy: KOMO ABC News Covers It

Washington state's soon getting its first ever two way immersion Catholic school.  The dual language school is launching next fall: the only of its kind, private or public, in Pierce and Thurston counties.  The 120 year old school has history.  If only its walls could talk...

Well, starting this month the school’s walls are getting some upgrades that literally will have the walls talking.

As Komo News reported (watch the story here) new Promethean active boards are being installed in the classrooms. Kindergarten teacher Amparo Farias is especially excited to introduce smart board technology into the curriculum the school is rolling out with all subjects taught in both Spanish and English to next year's pre-K and Kindergarten kids.

Applications for the first year of the program are due in at the end of March. Financial assistance is being awarded based on income. Families are encouraged to apply by then to make the first round of review.  Learn more here: http://www.holyrosarytacoma.org/page.php?id=178.
