The Lake Washington School District’s Communications Department won three awards from the Washington School Public Relations Association in its 2009 Publications and Electronic Media Awards.
Certificates of Excellence are given to all entries that score an 80 or above out of 100 from judges. Certificates of Excellence were awarded for:
- LWSD 2008-09 Calendar, Category: Calendar. Responsible for the publication: Kathryn Reith, Shannon Parthemer, Shelley Rios; Richard McNamee Photography; Stephanie Schriger, Design & Graphics

Comment: I'd like to personally thank Kathryn Reith and Shannon Parthemer for sending the Redmond Neighborhood Blog their invaluable press releases. The LWSD is such a big part of what makes Redmond, Redmond and being informed about our schools counts Big Time. Thank you, Kathryn and Shannon for everything you do for us and CONGRATULATIONS on your three awards! I'll miss you this summer! B.Y.

I just saw your post with your very nice comment on it. Thank you so much! We are very happy to send the information on to you – you’ve created a wonderful place for the community to learn what is going on.
And we will still be here all summer though you probably won’t hear from us much. There’s plenty to do to get everything updated and ready for next year. By mid-August at the latest we’ll be back sending more information to you.
Hope you have a great summer.
