Good morning, Vancouver.
🏘️ Community
Vancouver honored seven dedicated volunteers by planting trees on March 8 at Centerpointe Park (N.E.
Fourth Plain Boulevard at Pacific Way) as part of its eighth annual Volunteer Grove ceremony. The city accepts year-round nominations to recognize community members who contribute significantly to local programs.
🎓 Education
On Thursday, the Senate Early Learning and K-12 Committee heard testimony on a Washington bill that changes a parents’ rights law by revising 15 rules and removing 3 for medical care.
Supporters like Rep. Monica Stonier say the bill puts students first while critics say it weakens family trust—protests grew and security was called at the hearing.
