So they are building a new school

[joenali]

And all students and staff will be transferred to the new school in about a year. They are taking ideas for names and on the list for voting is Eddie Vedder elementary. I am seriously crossing my fingers for this one!

why not?

[InBetweenDays]

Ha, I'd vote for that!

Although you should request that the naming rights comes with the commitment to put on a private fundraising concert for the school each year

That's awesome. I wonder how many years have to pass before the ugly history is forgotten and we see Kurt Cobain High.

I hope it wins! I sort of wish the campaign to make "Louie, Louie!" the state song had succeeded.

BTW, what happens to the old school? Are they closing it for good? For renovations? something else?

[joenali]

Eddie Vedder elementary did not make the cut. Apparently, the person has to be dead.

niq the old school will still be used as a school, but perhaps house only primary students, it a different program altogether.
