Culminating Senior Project Boards
Community members are invited to serve as evaluators in the 2008 Senior Boards at Sumner or Bonney Lake high schools May 20 and 21, from 12:30 to 3:00 p.m. The Project is one of four state requirements for graduation and helps students understand the connection between school and the real world. Students select a topic to study and present their findings to teachers, students and other community members. To volunteer for one or both days, contact Traci Lewis, Bonney Lake High School Senior Project Coordinator, at 253.891.5700, or Karen Wilkerson, Sumner High School Senior Project Coordinator, at 253.891.5500.

Dear Parents/Guardians:
With additional graduation requirements added by the State in the past couple years, there has been an increasing amount of work and stress which has been added to our students’ senior year. Therefore, as a district we have taken a look at how we might lighten that load a bit to assist students to be successful throughout their senior year.
Therefore, beginning with this year’s juniors (next year’s seniors) we are establishing a new timeline for the culminating senior project components. This year’s juniors will be able to complete their required 15 hours and learning log during the summer prior to their senior year, if they choose to do so. There will be a specific approval process and requirements which must be completed for this early start. More information and the timeline will be available by May 1 and will be shared with our student and parents at that time.
We hope by allowing an early jump start on the senior project, we can alleviate some of the stress seniors who are trying to “do it all” feel during the second semester of their senior year. Now is a good time for juniors to begin thinking about the focus of their project. Please watch for additional information coming out this spring about this option.
Linda Masteller, Principal
