Congratulations to Ms. Hudson! Her performance at Cascade Elementary has been amazing.

Mayor Law briefly left our budget retreat today to represent us all at the award presentation. The council was very excited to hear the details when he rejoined us.

Here is the story in the Associated Press:

Renton elementary principal wins national award

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. — The principal of Cascade Elementary School in Renton is the Washington winner of a prestigious national award that comes with a $25,000 prize.

When state schools chief Terry Bergeson visited Shannon Harvey’s school on Wednesday morning, the principal thought Bergeson was giving the school a new state award. News that she won the Milken Educator Award came as a surprise.

Bergeson spoke of Harvey’s vision: her ability to keep the school running smoothly day-to-day while also achieving long-term goals. Under her leadership, Cascade has gone from 48 percent of students passing the reading test of the Washington Assessment of Student Learning to 81 percent passing the test.

Harvey has been principal at Cascade since 2004.
