This will be our son, Gerik’s, last year of school. In our world we call this “aging out of the system”. Most parents on our special planet don’t consider that something to celebrate. As you might recall, Gerik has what we now call nonspeaking classic autism. That qualified him to be on a Individual Education Plan (Special Ed) and could attend school until age 21. Gerik has just turned 20!!
Events / Classes All classes require pre-registration & are limited to 15 students Excel 102 Starts Thursday, Sept 15th, 5:30pm-7pm
What, wait, when did that happen… Anyway, the school system has been our family’s lifeline for the past 18 years, providing Gerik with a way out of the house. They gave his day structure with opportunities for social interaction with his peers and others.
Three class series - Sept 15, 22, 29 $50 per person, two for $90 Excel 101 Starts Tuesday, Oct 11th, 5:30pm - 7pm Three class series - Oct 11, 18, 25
The Kittitas School Staff have been amazing! The teachers, aids and students always tried their best to be accommodating, understanding and supportive of Gerik during his entire school career. It was not easy to staff a one-on-one aid for a child for 18 years. It all ends June 2017.

The future will be very different. No more helping him get ready for school and watching him walk through the school’s front door knowing his aids are there to greet him and work with him on his life skills. Now it will be just mom, dad and a few respite providers. It won’t be bad, just very, very different. But isn’t that life—nothing but change. And we will adjust. And life will be good. -Rolf P.S.

Newest Harry Potter Book In Stock
Office Furniture at Jerrol’s
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child By J.K. Rowling $29.99 Even the publisher was surprised at the amazing demand for the latest Harry Potter book. They ran completely out of stock for a while. It is available now online at Cursed.Jerrols.com or in the store. Cursed Child is the eighth story in the Harry Potter series and the first official Harry Potter story to be presented on stage. It is a play script based on an original story by J.K. Rowling. The play received its world premiere in London’s West End on July 30, 2016. It was always difficult being Harry Potter and it isn’t much easier now that he is an overworked employee of the Ministry of Magic, a husband and father of three school-age children. While Harry grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs, his youngest son Albus must struggle with the weight of a family legacy he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places.

Kittitas County Customer Service We need you to post stories about great service you receive here in Kittitas County and beyond. Every May, there will be the Best in Customer Service Award Banquet, where the best of the monthly Customer Service Champions from the past year will be recognized and the posts from the past year will be made into a book.
Here is what I discovered: A Bullet Journal is a place to keep everything you usually write down on a scrap piece of paper or post-it note, ideas in your head and so on... Basically it's a book of lists. But the best part is the freedom to add any page you like because you create it from a blank journal. (Or a quad-ruled composition book, which is what I did) Many people create calendar pages so you can use it as your planner as well. (I personally prefer to use the calendar on my phone so mine isn't a planner) Now for the fun part...choosing your lists. Here are a few to get you started! •favorite quotes •restaurants to try •gift ideas •gratitude log •2016 goals •date night ideas •saving goals •etc,etc,etc
•songs to buy on iTunes •birthdays •books to read •daily to do list •house cleaning schedule •spending log •habit tracker
You don't have to be artistic to do this. Your pages can be as flashy or simple as you want them to be. Most important, it's a place to write things down so your brain can have a little more breathing room. We ALL need that, right! -Corrie Ihrke
