change the name read at the ceremony on

Students wanted for Teen Café steering
committee
We are working to bring a teen café to
Issaquah… and we want your help. The
Teen Café mission is to provide a safe, dropin place for teens to go outside of school
where they can meet with their friends and
access programming and services as
needed. The Teen Café envisions a place in
which students are not only valued for their
differences but cherished for the unique
history, beliefs, traditions and perspective
they bring to the center. We are recruiting
teens to be a part of these efforts and join
our committee. The application is on our
website at
http://issaquahteencafe.weebly.com and is
due by February 12th. Don’t miss out on this
opportunity to help shape the future of a
teen café in our community!
Developing honorable, thinking,
skillful citizens who possess
integrity, act with honor and
pride, and pursue scholarship
and excellence in the service of humanity.
