Affordable Housing within Reach through Housing Choice Section 8
Section 8 Voucher Myth-Busting
Calling all landlords! Do you want guaranteed payments, long-term tenants, and units that fill quickly? Consider accepting Section 8 vouchers. For more information, call 509-334-9147 and ask for Liz or LaShonda.
Advantages: Guaranteed on-time monthly payments: we send you a check on time, every month! Pre-screened tenants: we do background checks on all Section 8 participants. Registered sex offenders and most people with a past criminal record cannot rent through Section 8. Long-term tenants: Section 8 participants have housing stability and are generally in units longer than other renters. Housing Choice Section 8 Program Coordinator Liz Raeth and Housing Program Specialist LaShonda Crutchfield make the world a better place through fair housing
The Palouse’s rental market is booming this year, with new units under construction every day. At the same time, Whitman County residents in poverty struggle to find and pay for safe housing. Community Action Center’s Housing Choice Section 8 Program puts affordable housing within reach. Last year, 288 households had a place to live because of the program. The average rent in Pullman has gone up by 25% to $1,015 per month in the past year, almost $200 more than five years ago, according to market researchers Apartment Monkey and Neighborhood Scout. In contrast, a family with one minimum-wage income earns $1,800 in a month. “We see a lot of people couch surfing before they are on Section 8,” Housing Choice Section 8 Program Coordinator Liz Raeth said. “They are moving around a lot, they’ve had three different addresses in three months or are staying with relatives.” This type of housing instability is a red flag for high risk of homelessness. Liz often sees families fleeing domestic violence, one-income families, or fixed-income elderly and disabled residents. Section 8 distributes housing vouchers to make safe rental housing more affordable to working families with children, people with disabilities, and the elderly with limited incomes. Landlords sign up with the program to accept the vouchers, and participants pay 30% of their income for rent and utilities. There is currently a six-month wait list for potential participants, which Liz says is much shorter than in urban areas. The ultimate goal of the program is to move people toward self-sufficiency and homeownership. One outcome of the program in Whitman County specifically is that people can get academic degrees at WSU or U of I while they are on the program, leading them to better jobs. She sees people with families move into the area because they have been accepted to WSU and stay on the program while they are in college. Ultimately, they don’t need help anymore because they have living wage jobs and are selfsufficient. “People want to succeed and do good for their family. We take the financial stress off of households so they can focus on finding a good job, not just getting up every day to do a job that will never take them out of poverty,” Liz said.
Community Food
Free advertising: We highlight available properties on our Whitman County Facebook page and maintain a list of Section 8 units, which we communicate to potential renters.
Common misconceptions: I will have to lower my rents to participate in Section 8. Landlords ensure their rents are at HUD’s Fair Market Value for the first year they are on the program. In 2018, Fair Market Value for a two-bedroom unit is $760. After one year as a Section 8 landlord, you can raise rents again. “Big Brother” will be watching me. Not true! We do an inspection before your unit is approved to make sure it is safe for tenants. After that, we stay out of the landlord-tenant relationship except for an inspection every other year to ensure unit safety. We now employ two in-house inspectors so we can complete inspections much more quickly than in previous years. Property managers retain full responsibility for screening and choosing renters, enforcing leases, and maintaining rental properties. The renters will trash my place. Section 8 tenants in Whitman County are often retired or are college/graduate students with families. Program coordinator Liz Raeth says that in eight years administering the program, working with hundreds of renters, she has only seen five trashed units. In addition, we strongly encourage Section 8 renters to get renter’s insurance to cover any damage beyond their deposit.

BOARD REPORT
Encouraging Resilience by Allison Munch-Rotolo As cognitive psychologists have long known, words contribute to our understanding of the world around us. Our interpretation of experiences is enhanced when we have words to act as constructs for our thoughts. It’s one of the reasons the word gap (the difference in the total number of words spoken to children of rich and poor families by the age of three) is such a cruciallyimportant aspect of the opportunity gap in education. A rich vocabulary is high-yield investment in a child’s future.
While individual teachers throughout the district utilize an assortment of practices, systemic changes are also underway. Sunnyside Elementary, for instance, is currently piloting the CLEAR Project. CLEAR (Collaborative Learning for Educational Achievement and Resilience1) is a program designed to train teachers and staff, so they can better equip students with resilience tools that support learning. Examples of resilience tools include beliefs (like a growth mindset), skills (like self-regulation), and aspects of the environment (like supportive relationships). To date, there are 28 CLEAR schools across five states. (Sunnyside’s participation in the CLEAR Project is supported by a grant from the Pullman Education Foundation.)
On a recent visit to the classroom of Sonia Bringhurst at Jefferson Elementary, I was initially surprised to find students using very “brainy” vocabulary words. Mrs. Bringhurst’s second graders (and those of her second It is important to note that resilience training does not replace or detract grade colleagues), regularly devote around 30 minutes per week to reviewing and discussing ideas about how their brains help them, and how they can help from existing learning standards in core subject areas, but can help students to be better prepared for learning in general. Like a rich vocabulary, the capacity their brains. For example, the students understand that a part of the brain called the amygdala is responsible for threat-detection and response. When the for resilience will help each student to achieve their full potential. brain is busy detecting and responding to threats, its ability to perform other 1 See http://extension.wsu.edu/clear/ functions is severely compromised. Put very simply, we need to feel safe to learn. Mrs. Bringhurst’s classroom environment playfully encourages resilience. For example, a simply-decorated paper tube is a “joy-scope” that helps students focus on the things that bring them joy and happiness—such as a favorite color or a peaceful cloud floating outside the window. The “calming cave” (located under a classroom table) is a place of refuge, where students can spend a few moments collecting their thoughts. Slowly sliding a few beads up and down a pipe cleaner while breathing deeply is another example of a simple technique that can be used to avert the brain’s typical fight-or-flight response. As a visitor to this classroom environment, I found these techniques appealing and was eager to incorporate them into my own life.
The Pullman School District Board of Directors and the Pullman School District shall provide equal educational opportunity and treatment for all students in all aspects of the academic and activities programs without regard to race, religion, creed, color, national origin, age, honorably-discharged veteran or military status, sex, sexual orientation (including gender expression or identity), marital status, the presence of any sensory, mental or physical disability, participation in the Boy Scouts of America or the use of a trained dog guide or service animal by a person with a disability. The district will provide equal access to school facilities to the Boy Scouts of America and all other designated youth groups listed in Title 36 of the United States Code as a patriotic society. District programs will be free from sexual harassment.

Pullman Community Update 7
Helping students to be College and Career Ready One of the most fulfilling elements of a students’ high school career can be the successful and productive effort towards a future passion or goal. The relevance of this pursuit can give students that extra push towards success—whether it be a favorite subject area, a major project or assignment in an area of interest, or even the ever sought “a-ha;” the sudden clarity of comprehension that comes with learning something new—there is a thrill in the pursuit of knowledge in a field that captivates you. In preparing students for life after high school, we continue to push students towards academic pursuits that can prepare them for a post-secondary education and job readiness. The latter is where we can specifically emphasize learning that prepares students for specific skills and trades that can be used for future career opportunities or field expertise. Pullman High School has a number of Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses that students can take based on specific interest levels— courses that can address employment trends or skill set needs within the workforce. These courses are also aligned with Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs); “clubs” where students can apply these skills in an extra-curricular and often times competitive setting. PHS has a number of successful programs that have prepared students for both career and college opportunities, and we continue to add more variety to this menu of CTE courses. This past year, in an attempt to address further employment trend needs in the area of health sciences, PHS added a sports medicine class. Next year, we plan to offer a Computer Sciences course—a need expressed both by local and state employment trends as well as student interest. Not only can CTE courses help students follow a passion or career path, but with Washington state’s new 24-credit graduation requirements, it helps provide more opportunity and flexibility for students to pursue specific classes related to their interest and goals. The High School and Beyond Plan allows students to be selective in a few of their requirements via “personal pathways”—a course road map that can prepare students for specific posthigh school opportunities whether they be a 4-year or 2-year college track, a trade or technical school plan, an internship or apprenticeship, or specific job placement. We are grateful to be able to offer selective courses that can ignite and fuel a student’s passion and we attribute these classes continued success to the direction of our knowledgeable and dedicated teachers, as well as our talented students. Our FFA, VICA, Culinary and Multimedia students are consistently being recognized at both the state and national levels for their great work in the agricultural, welding, food, and digital media industries. And this year, for the first time in a while, our DECA program will be sending students to Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia this coming spring. Education is an ever-evolving medium and we continue to seek out the best ways we can work with our students and the community to best prepare our kids for future opportunities and to instill a passion for life-long learning, no matter what form that learning may take. For more information regarding Career and Technical opportunities, please contact CTE Director/Assistant Principal Chris Franklin at cfranklin@psd267.org or Principal Erik Heinz at eheinz@psd267.org. • CTE courses at Pullman High School are offered in the following CAREER PATHWAYS: • Business and Marketing • Family and Consumer Sciences • Agricultural Education and Sciences • Health Sciences • STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) • Skill and Technical Sciences For a complete list of courses offered at PHS, you can view our course guide on our website at phs.pullmanschools.org under the “Counseling Services” tab, listed as “Registration (Spring).”

APRIL IS SEXUAL ASSAULT AWARENESS MONTH VIOLENCE PREVENTION EDUCATION Teaching kids about healthy relationships, communication, and boundaries is an important part of our work! Utilizing evidencebased curricula, we work with classrooms, high school groups, and afterschool programs to help youth build healthy skills. Our Palouse Teen Council is a group of local high school students who are trained to present on comprehensive sex education. Contact ATVP to request a presentation!
Across the country, individuals, youth, communities, schools, and agencies will be taking action to increase awareness about sexual assault while working to end sexual violence. Sexual Assault Awareness Month is a time where we can focus our efforts, celebrate community successes and look toward making improvements in the future. How you talk about sexual violence matters. Whether you show your support for a survivor or help someone understand these issues, your voice is powerful and necessary in this conversation. • Teal is the color of Sexual Assault Awareness month. Wear a ribbon, paint your nails, or dye a streak in your hair to show your support. Challenge your friends to wear teal and talk about it.
Palouse Teen Council is Recruiting for 2018-19! Are you passionate about social justice and peer education? You should apply for Teen Council! We are high school students who are trained to provide peer-led sex education to our community. Apply by May 11 at this link: http://bit.ly/palousetc
• Talk to your children, teens, family, and friends about the importance of healthy relationships and healthy boundaries. Movies, TV, and books are full of healthy and unhealthy relationships you can use as examples. • Invite ATVP to present to your class, community group, club, or other organization (in April and year round). • When you hear comments that blame victims or make light of sexual violence, speak up so others know you that don’t agree. Show them that you believe survivors, and that you’re a safe person to talk to. • Join ATVP in wearing denim on April 25th. In 1998, Italy’s Supreme Court overturned a rapist’s conviction because the victim wore jeans, reasoning that she must have helped her attacker remove them. This action was the catalyst for Denim Day, a day when supporters around the world wear jeans to take a stand against sexual violence.
Want to know more about us? Come to our Teen Council Open House! Tuesday, April 24, 6-7:30pm at the Community Congregational United Church of Christ (525 NE Campus St, Pullman, WA 99163)

Seeing a fulltime athletic trainer in every high school become a reality, gives our high school athletes an unsurpassed sports injury preventative and treatment experience that will set the standard for all communities. I hope every person connected with our athletic community will join us in this valuable endeavor.”

Longest Resident: Lea
Meet the sweet and sassy Lea. After being found by a citizen on the side of the road and brought into the shelter for treatment, she is healed and ready to find her furever home! Miss Lea has her own cattitude and is quite vocal when she wants something. The shelter is very loud and stressful so she was sent to foster to have a quieter environment and more one on one time. She is very loving and enjoys her cat naps in the sun. She is currently in foster care, but we can schedule a time for her to come back to the shelter so you can meet her! Notes from the foster family: "Fun facts: when you pet or scratch her back, she wags her tail. She is too intelligent for her own good and doesn't like being confined to one room. In conjunction with that, she can open push and pull doors as long as they are not closed to the point of latching. She also at times has a funny way of sleeping." As with all our cats Lea is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and tested for FIV, FELV, and internal parasites.

Lawson Gardens Spring Opening Lawson Gardens, Pullman’s only formal garden, will open April 1. Pullman residents are encouraged to come and enjoy spring crocus, daffodils, and tulips in a lovely, formal garden setting at 705 Dilke Street. Patrons will be surrounded by an abundance of flowers in this peaceful setting. Later in the summer, you will be able to enjoy an attractive profusion of annuals, rose varieties and an abundant perennial garden. To make each visit to Lawson Gardens pleasurable for all community members and visitors, you are asked to follow a few friendly rules: • There are numerous weddings held during the spring, summer, and fall months. Please respect those who have reserved the garden for these occasions. • No pets allowed (this includes dogs and cats) • Please do not walk through flower beds • Please do not pick any flowers • Lawson Gardens is not a play garden but a place for peaceful reflection. (Kruegel Park is just across the street for your games of football or disc golf) • No driving into the gardens, all motorized vehicles should stay in the parking lot.

Girls on Guard© The self-defense concept encompasses mental, physical, and emotional prevention of harm.

Pullman Community Update 21
Field Trips! Spring is upon us and so is field trip season at the PDSC! Spark students’ imaginations and engage curious minds through fun, hands-on learning! The PDSC offers immersive, informal science education programming to public, private, homeschool, and daycare groups. These hands-on, group learning opportunities offer your students the ability to explore STEAM subjects in depth and utilize a variety of unique materials, equipment, and technology. Choose from a variety of interactive lessons, or speak with our educator to tailor the lesson to your group’s needs. For more information and to book your field trip today, please visit www.palousescience.org/ field-trips!
Although the PDSC serves many younger children, older kids and teens love the science center too! In fact, many exhibits and interactive games are geared to older kids. For example, some math and spatial reasoning puzzles are challenging even for adults. And check out our Green Screens for creating live “shows!” These programs allow kids to create and record their own newscasts, weather reports or comedy shows. They can choose backgrounds and watch their new “shows,” and you can email the shows to yourself. Older kids also love the creepy, crawly live animals, including snakes, tarantulas, rats, and more! As always, our friendly staff can help you with the exhibits. Come on in and play with your older kids and teens!

STUDENTS OF THE MONTH
Grady Benton
Allison Herr
Grady Benton, son of John and Tricia Benton, is a senior honors student at PHS. During his time at Pullman High, Grady has participated in Basketball, Varsity Baseball and has been very involved with Mr. Winchell’s New Media Production class— serving as technical director for Hounds Central Live Stream game productions for the 2016 & 2017 football seasons and color commentator for girls and boys Basketball broadcasts for the 2016 & 2017 seasons. In addition, he is part of the student team that manages the Hound Central website that showcases student involvement at PHS. In addition to his studies and extracurricular activities, Grady is employed by Cougar Marketing, helping with all the content that goes up on the scoreboard for Cougar Football and Men’s/Women’s Cougar Basketball games; works the sideline and game play cameras, utility work for the cameras and occasionally assisting with other PAC-12 media needs. He will attend WSU and study at the Murrow College of Communication, with hopes of completing a degree in Communications/Journalism, specializing in broadcast media production. After college, Grady hopes to work for a company like the PAC-12 Network or ESPN, in broadcasts expressing his passion for sports story telling through new media. Grady’s favorite memory of his time at PHS is “when a few of my classmates and I worked with Mr. Winchell and traveled to Martin Stadium and Grandview in my Junior and Senior years for the PHS Football crossover games against Prosser. We were lucky enough to use the facilities of these two locations for Live Stream productions thru Hound Central. Both games had implications of going to State, and it was cool to be able to stream the game for so many people to enjoy and watch. We heard many families of both teams from across the Northwest that really appreciated being able to watch those games because of our live productions. Being able to work at Martin Stadium made it feel like we were part of the ESPN Crew, and the game in Grandview was our first road game to ever be produced, which was neat to Live Stream a production on the road. These game productions really had a team feel, and it was so much fun to do what I love and do it with some of my best friends and Mr. Winchell, making some great memories.”
“Being a student in Pullman is really characterized by being in contact with the same people for twelve years. Needless to say, it becomes an extremely comfortable environment, where everyone is somehow connected to everyone else. When I think of my schooling thus far, the best part here is definitely how close-knit everyone is. I don't expect to find that again for a really long time once I leave Pullman, so I look forward to cherishing that I got to experience this community through my education here. I'll be able to say that I truly graduated with all of my friends, and I think that's something really special. “ —Allison Herr Allison Herr, daughter of Chengtao Her and XIling Wu, is a senior honors student at PHS. During her time at Pullman High, Allison has participated in Key Club (editor), FPA Club, Science Bowl Varsity Girls' Tennis, JV Girls' Soccer, Orchestra, Protect Animals & Wildlife Club (editor), Gender Equality Club (Co-founder), Varsity Girls' Tennis, App Development Club, and Computer Science Club. Her other extracurricular activities outside of PHS include ballet and Chinese School. In addition to her studies and extracurricular activities, Allison also volunteered to take photographs for Distinguished Young Women 2017, helped organize and run Art Affair 2017 and designed and worked for the WSU Physics department. She is also a National Merit Scholar Finalist and a recipient of the AP Scholar with Distinction award. She plans to attend a four-year university to pursue a degree in industrial design or computer science with a minor in graphic design; after graduating, she hopes to attend graduate school.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Liz McPherson
Hi, I’m Liz McPherson! I live in Pullman with my husband Adam and our daughter Kayla. I am currently enrolled at WSU in the Master In Teaching (MIT) program. I am the first in my family to graduate from a fouryear university and pursue a master’s degree. I am excited to graduate and teach in the Palouse. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, being outdoors, and spending time with my family and friends. When I first came to Pullman in 2004, a co-worker told me about a great college, Spokane Falls Community College-Pullman. I wanted to go back to school, but I was intimidated because I had not been in school for almost 10 years. With her encouragement, I went in to apply. The staff was very knowledgeable and caring, they made me feel like family. I settled in quickly and after starting classes, I vastly widened my network circle. After just a couple of weeks, everyone knew my name, and I was surrounded by a supportive community. Not only were the students supportive, but the teachers took extra care to be certain I understood the instructional content. You could tell they really cared about you and your future. After pursuing my associate’s degree, I was able to transfer to Washington State University and obtained my B.S. in Psychology. The study habits and connections I had made at SFCC-Pullman helped me along the way. After graduation, I worked in the Pullman School District as a paraeducator. I fell in love with being in the classroom and decided to return to school to obtain a teaching certificate. I was able to come back to SFCC-Pullman this year to take a few pre-requisites for my master’s program I am currently enrolled in. Again, the staff was so friendly and checked-in with me often to ensure I was on a path to success. The teachers are still so engaging and all around awesome! Thanks to SFCC Pullman campus, I was able to achieve my academic and life goals while gaining new friendships, being involved in community, and best of all, saving money!
One year ago, I was asked to write a reflection of my time teaching and working at the Spokane Falls Community College, Pullman Campus. We were about to start our first quarter in our new location, and I shared my community college story which began as an instructor at the Pullman location in 2001. We are now celebrating our first year at our new location. Many things have changed since our move to the Washington State University campus, but what makes us unique in this community has not changed. This last year has been filled with new adventures and new opportunities for our students. We continue to serve those students completing a high school diploma or a GED, we continue to grow our Running Start and International population, and for those students wanting a two-year college degree, we continue to offer high quality instruction and affordable education. If you are interested in learning more about our offerings, whether for yourself, your child, or a friend, please call me directly, and I would be happy to give you a tour. 509-279-6458
Help! I have never attended college, and I was told I need to take a placement test. What is the process? The thought of taking a test can be anxiety inducing, but at SFCC Pullman Campus, we will help you through the process. All incoming students, with no previous college, may be required to take the English Directed Self Placement and the MyMath Placement test. For the English exam, students read various materials at different levels and place themselves in the level they feel is appropriate. If a student believes they are ready for English 101, they write a challenge essay that will be evaluated by the English department in Spokane, who will determine the correct placement. For the math exam, students can come in to campus and purchase a math activation code which gives them access to the practice tests. Students will have 16 weeks of online access to a study plan and practice tests before scheduling their exam. Students will be given two placement test attempts.
