From Melissa Westbrook/SPS Community Blog:

After much back and forth and looking at various options, I have come to the conclusion that the best way to give money to Rainier Beach High School in support of any book needs (which are likely to be for AP books as it is not certain there is a shortage elsewhere) is to donate to RBHS via the Alliance for Education. One hundred percent of your donation goes to RBHS.

Here’s how to donate. Be sure to in the appropriate area, either on your check if you mail it inor in the space designated through on-line donations, Rainier Beach High School. All donations are tax-deductible.

I personally cannot thank you enough for your caring and support on this issue. By helping a struggling school, you send into motion a number of things like getting more AP sooner, improving morale and sending a message to the district that parents are willing to step up in support of schools not their own. By making RBHS a better school, we make our district better for all of us. Read more.

Isn’t there only like 30 students left at RB?

There’s close to 400, and they don’t have many textbooks to go around—kids can’t bring them home. On top of that, we’ve heard the World History textbook is so out of date Saddam’s still alive and Myanmar is still Burma.

And Thailand is still Siam.
