"After reading your ideas and listening to your excellent suggestions in the survey we conducted, the magazine will now be published 3 times per school year. In the summer we will print a special parents' reference guide that will be useful the entire year.

We've added
information about the City of Sammamish, more details about Kindergarten, and a new feature called "Small Moments." We hope these changes will mean that the magazine reaches more families and ultimately helps more students to succeed.

Also, in this newly formatted issue of Cultural Bridges, you'll find a lot of good information to keep, like the calendars for the School District.

Thank you for changing and growing with us. We hope you enjoy the magazine!"

 
- Cultural Bridges Program Managers,
Margarita Leas and Marisol Visser
