Dear B-ESD Community,
We want to say thank you to our community for coming together over the last several days in the face of record flooding. We received dozens of donations and volunteer offers from people, both near and far, particularly in support of the Red Cross Evacuation Shelter at Bay View. A couple of specific folks and organizations to thank - the Bay View PTA for volunteering at the evacuation center, Terra Mar restaurant for making pizzas for Red Cross staff and evacuees, Railroad Pizza for offering to do the same (although we didn’t end up needing any), Skagit Rotary for donating gift cards for families, the Burlington Healthy Community Coalition and the United Way. This is a special community, and never was this more evident than in the face of the most difficult circumstances. We wish all of you a joyful holiday season! We will see you in 2026!
Sincerely,
Dr. Chris Pearson
