It is with a heavy heart that we share the news that our sweet support dog, Yannah, passed away yesterday morning. We know that for many of you, Yannah held a special place and healing at Chrysalis and was an integral member of our community.
Yannah came to Chrysalis as a puppy in 2011 and was raised by our Chrysalis Puppy Raisers to become a guide dog for the blind. In a career path change, she remained at Chrysalis as our very own support dog. She served as our front desk greeter, our activity room mascot, and official cuddle bug. She brought great joy and comfort to our students and staff every day, knowing exactly who needed her and when.
Yannah was truly a special pup.

I feel lucky to have been at Chrysalis when Yannah was first brought around. What a special dog!❤️
Oh no. She was just a puppy when i was there. She will truly be missed such a wonderful dog. Rip sweet girl.
I will have to find one of the pictures of her, she got dressed up for a scene in a drama skit, such a sweet dog.
"No matter how different a Who may appear, he will always be welcomed with holiday cheer." — Cindy Lou Who. Last night CHS students gathered together at the holiday party to watch a holiday classic and enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches and decorate cookies. It was a great evening of The Grinch and festive fun!

Check out these photos of our students learning social emotional practices to make their lives calmer and more peaceful. These oranges aren't for snacking, they're for juggling!

Students in MaryKate’s World History class are studying ancient Japan and voted to go to the local sushi restaurant where they tried sushi, some for the first time! The big winners were the gyoza and mango cake! Now they are creating amazing Samurai posters for class!

Due to ongoing utility outages in Woodinville, including power, internet, and reliable phone service, many traffic lights remain out, and most businesses are closed. PSE's latest update, provided at 1:05 PM today, estimates restoration for our buildings is Saturday, November 23rd, at 12 PM. Additionally, many roads remain impassable, and power lines are down near the schools.
With this in mind, we have made the decision to preemptively close school tomorrow, Friday, November 22, 2024. As a reminder, there will be no school next week due to the Thanksgiving break.
We wish you a safe, warm, and restful holiday. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday, December 2nd.

Hello Chrysalis Families,
As you know, our region was hit hard by a “bomb cyclone” late last night. High winds knocked out power, internet, and cellular services. Both of our campuses are still without the necessary utilities to reopen.
We will continue to monitor PSE restoration times, and we are also awaiting updates from Comcast, our internet and phone provider. We will send out a message around 5:30 a.m. tomorrow morning with a status update and information about potentially resuming a normal class schedule.
