REFLECTIONS FROM APPLICANTS . . .


 I loved it, the students were great, the faculty was great, the lip sync was the best. Everyone was friendly and I learned a lot about the school and student life. I hope to be a student there next year.

It was better than I imagined! It's nothing like any school I've ever seen. I cannot believe how close and nice the people are and how secure and comfortable everyone seems with each other.

Scholar Search Weekend was fantastic! The campus was beautiful, everyone was friendly, and it was a great time!



REFLECTIONS FROM PARENTS . . .


We, as a family, ended the weekend feeling very excited for our daughter's future and all that Annie Wright has to offer a young woman getting ready to prepare for college and her life as an independent young lady.

The merit scholarship would be nice, but my true motivation was getting my child into an environment  where she can be successful and be exposed to all the possibilities that life has to offer. I feel in my heart that Annie Wright is a giant step in the right direction.

Annie Wright is a beautiful school. What makes it shine above the rest is that all of the faculty, staff and students truly care about each other.  Tuition is expensive, but worth every penny. 

Our daughter really enjoyed the weekend. She enjoyed making good friends. She also enjoyed the mix of academic and non-academic activities a great deal. It truly represented the balance between academic rigor and the high-energy fun that Annie Wright promotes. We are thrilled about the opportunity to have our daughter be a part of Annie Wright.  

We believe in Annie Wright and everything they have to offer students. The education is priceless and sets a standard above all others. Children are happy and happy children love to learn.

LOL Randy..there are three businesses listed under `Optometry' (I had trouble with the font/style onRead More the red background of the categories). I am always amazed at the number of businesses I did not know about..I chuckled at the `puffing' on pages 5-8 - no need to go any further with re-branding..

You are lucky to have a man of Elmer's quality as part of your life! He is a true officer andRead More gentleman, who served his county by performing arduous tours of duty, several in a combat role. However, if I were to characterize Elmer with one word it would be "unselfish." Like you, I am lucky to have known Elmer and able to call him a friend. Howard

What a nice Father's Day wish to Elmer from his daughter. He and Linda are lucky parents.

Thank you Howard and Lucile :-)

I heard it, Patty. He isn't the only one to do so, either. We need to be on a crusade to help thoseRead More national media types get the actual host city correct.
Lucile Summerlin June 17, 2013 at 04:24 pm
On TV yesterday a "man on the street" said the US Open would be good for SEATTLE andRead More Tacoma!!! Yes, our work is cut out for us getting people to say University Place, even "near Tacoma" would be okay. Over a year ago, I wrote to a magazine requesting they use the correct city for Chambers Bay because they said it was in Tacoma. Every time we hear someone in the media say "those other cities' names", we must write/text/email them and set them straight. They probably don't know about UP.

Thanks for sharing, Barbara! I'm sorry our site gave you so much trouble with the uploads. It looksRead More it was a lovely day!

Thank you so much for sharing! Picha strawberries are best!
Patty Schumacher June 11, 2013 at 07:52 am
They are and will continue to sell until the end of the season. Should be berries available throughRead More all of or most of June:)

Thanks for sharing, Laurie! Can you share with Puyallup Patch, too? Thanks so much!

End of May? Do you mean end of June?
Laurie Miller June 5, 2013 at 10:46 am
Yes, end of June. Thanks so much for pointing that out. Christie.

<<another mom>> How would I go about finding out if the other driver was issued aRead More citation/ticket? His insurance company is pretty adamant about closing the deal. I'm under the assumption HIS insurance company would have those details?
another mom May 30, 2013 at 06:12 pm
Call UP police, ask. That's when we found out. I wouldn't be too eager to close, either. Even thoughRead More our car was totaled, insurance paid us only 1/2 the replacement value (we'd found an identical car). The fact that the deputy didn't cite the other driver (even though there were witnesses that stated that person was breaking the law and entirely responsible) did affect our claim, and we're still suffering as a result. Good luck.
Christie Anderson May 30, 2013 at 10:11 pm
Cedar....Never close straight away with the insurance company. I figure if they are anxious to closeRead More their client was cited, lol.

Ken you crack me up. I guess some people would think of it as the field of dreams.
Ken Campbell May 25, 2013 at 12:48 pm
I am sure `crack' will be the next drug to be legalized by Washington, as the taxes from marijuanaRead More will never be enough..! I am sure all the `illegal' suppliers will just give up, and get a license/permit to distribute and send their take to the government..lol (Nightmare on Market Street??)
