Your students learn to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, but many may not have been taught what it means. With Flag Day approaching (June 14), it might be a good time to help students learn to more fully appreciate the history of and the concepts expressed in the Pledge such as liberty, justice, national unity, and recognizing that our freedoms come from God, not the State.

The teachers and students of the tiny farming community of Waterville, WA (its mascot, the Shocker, is a shock of wheat), are truly focused on educating the whole person—not just focusing on academics in order to raise test scores. As a result, they could very well be raising scores higher than a pure academic focus alone could accomplish.

Congratulations to NWPE member Jean Robinson, Earth Science teacher at Coeur d'Alene Charter Academy, and her middle school ExploraVision team! Jean led her middle school students to win the Region 6 competition of the 2014 Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision program, the world's largest K-12 science competition. The students' project could lead to a potential scientific and medical breakthrough for the treatment of migraine headaches.
