Congratulations Principal Deese!
CONGRATULATIONS to Principal Deese who was surprised Monday morning at assembly with the Alliance for Education Thomas B. Foster Award!! This once a year award was given to recognize and honor her as an outstanding principal exemplifying excellence! Ms. Deese was also presented with a grant for Alki Elementary in a form of a check larger than her. It is well deserved! Way to go!
