Dear Mount Baker Community,

Some of you may be aware that the District has been restricted in its ability to expand its facilities at all due to restrictions in place because of the square footage of buildings on each of our sites.

We've been working with the County and two (2) consultants (Scot Swanson & Jay Irwin) to have the legal restrictions amended.

Acme and the High School in particular know the impact of this all too well. We've not been able to install a permanent portable at Acme and we've not been able to even put in a storage unit on the High School campus for track equipment because of these restrictions.

Last night at the County Council meeting, we had the chance to present the challenges present law has on the District to the Whatcom County Council leading up to a vote for the proposed amendment to be acted upon.

The County Council voted unanimously to the amendment and barring any appeals the District will be able to follow the normal permitting process to expand when necessary.

I would like to personally thank Ben Thomas and Cameron Johnson for their leadership in this endeavor. This involved months of teamwork!

Mary Sewright, MBSD Superintendent

Proud to be Mountaineers

When the morning greets the valley
and the eagle starts to fly
Sunlight peaking o'er the Mountain
Lights the dome of Baker High

Hear the dreams that guide our future
Hear the ties that bind our lives
hear the friends we've come to cherish
Hear our goals for which we strive

And the path that we have chosen
is a trail of joy and tears
but the strength we've found together
leads us on to be Mountaineers

Give us streams and we will cross them
Valleys deep will bring no fears
Give us mountains, we will climb them
After all, we are Mountaineers

And with those who've gone before us
May we stand amidst the cheers
for we've climbed a lofty mountain
and we're proud to be Mountaineers
yes, we're proud to be Mountaineers.
