Congratulation to Daniel Grimm!

Congratulations to Aspire student Daniel Grimm - he attended Mt. View years ago but his parents, Lucia and Glenn are both PTA members and constant, quiet contributors to Mt. View, particularly with their time and energy. The below is taken from the weekly NTPS Success page.

February 17 Board Meeting Highlights

Student Recognition: The Board recognized Skye Aslaksen, 5th grader at Meadows Elementary and Daniel Grimm, 6th grader at Aspire Middle School, who were National Geographic Bee school winners. The National Geographic Bee occurs in three stages, beginning at the school level. This year both Meadows Elementary and Aspire Middle School participated. Aspire social studies teacher Paul Garrett , who helped organize the Geographic Bee at Aspire, noted how tough the questions were. One example question from the website, for instance, was "Which Canadian province produces more than half the country's manufactured goods?" Answer: Ontario. Each school winner takes a written test, and the top hundred scorers in each state and territory compete at the state level. State-level Bees are held in the spring, and the winner of each state Bee proceeds to the national competition.

The Board also recognized Daniel Grimm individually for his outstanding community service. Daniel spent the past several months supplying school libraries with books from their "wish" lists, often purchasing the books himself. Daniel has been involved in several community service projects throughout the district and his dedication serves as an inspiration and a great example of student leadership in our district. Daniel donated a total of 917 books to Aspire, Evergreen Forest, Lacey, Lydia Hawk, Mountain View, Olympic View and Woodland. The Board presented Daniel with a thank you bag from South Sound Reading Foundation.
