Last Saturday I attended the 2024 Vaisakhi Celebration at Khalsa Gurmat Center with Councilmember Troutner, Auburn Mayor Nancy Backus, and Auburn Councilmember Taylor. 

We had the best student ambassador show us around and answer all of our questions! I am always grateful for the invitation to be a part of this beautiful celebration.

Yesterday I was reminded of how wise and compassionate our students are. Kiwanis Club of Kent hosted our 52nd Annual Essay Contest for middle school students. The essays were so insightful and thought provoking!
Thank you to the students for participating, the KSD educators who support them, and Kiwanis Club of Kent for this wonderful tradition.

Girl Scouts Visit

Earlier this week, Troop 40346 paid us a visit here at city hall! A few of their Daisies, Brownies, and Senior Girl Scouts came to ask questions on how the government works, what its like to be mayor, and how they can get involved!

They were able to share about their projects, explore the dais, and learn how a council meeting works.

Congratulations to all the recent graduates of our Spring Class of Kent 101! These residents attended weekly meetings over eight weeks and heard from city staff as they learned all about how their local government works.

scouts lifesaving award

During this week's council meeting I had the honor of presenting Logan Lewis, a scout from Troop 407, with a Life Saving Award for his actions in March. Logan administered the Heimlich Maneuver and saved a classmate's life. He represents the values and skills of Scouting BSA and I want to congratulate him on a job well done and his quick thinking, which saved a life.



________________________________________________________________________



I also wanted to congratulate Councilmember Bill Boyce, who was awarded a shadowbox for his long-time service of 12 years on the RFA Governance Board. Fire Chief Brian Carson and Deputy Chief Aaron Tyerman from Puget Sound Fire presented the award.
