SGS 10th grader Alex Gustafson made it all the way through the 4-H county competitions to the semi-finals for Washington State on Sept. 22, where she earned a perfect score of 100% that qualified her for the finals on Sunday, Sept. 23.  She received a 97% score in knowledge and modeling in the Finals, just missing the Grand Champion award!  This 4-H competition looks at students' knowledge of sewing, how the garmet fits, and how they model it.  Good job, Alex!

Kudos to Lindsey Thomsen '02, a pediatric nurse practitioner at Seattle Children's Hospital, for turning into Dr. Meredith Grey of Grey's Anatomy fame for a day to help a girl get through an unpleasant procedure.  Read about this real-life star on the Seattle Chidren's Website.
