Kinderfest fills the house

Standing room only for Kinderfest

Dozens of Shoreline Schools families crowded into Shoreline Center last Saturday for the District's annual Kinderfest kindergarten fair. Principals and registrars from each elementary school were present to answer questions about their kindergarten programs, as were school nurses, transportation, food service, assessment and special education.
