After 20+ years coaching and teaching local tots, Carol Rasp is retiring.
Or, in her own words, “Quitting.” More fitting as Rasp as more energy at 60-something-or-another than most 30-year-olds I know. She’s moving on to more adventures, many involving her husband and their tandem bicycle.
Teacher Carol with her morning Spring Quarter 2014 Tiny Tots class
In her honor, there will be a potluck party at the Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center (6535 Ravenna Avenue NE) on Wednesday, June 4, starting at 6:30 PM.
The center itself is providing hamburgers and hot dogs. If you and yours are planning to attend, please call the center at 684-7534 to RSVP.
Carol Rasp works with Ravenna Blog Intern #2 on an art project in class.
Oh, rats! I missed this event. We all loved Teacher Carol.
My two younger kids did Tiny Tots. One will graduate from the UW in August, and the younger one will graduate next spring (hurray for Running Start!). It was wonderful to have a place where kids could have fun, make friends and learn without pressure. Because childhood is a journey, not a competition (I can’t remember where I stole that from).
You should ask her about the interesting family that lived in the house that was raided by the feds. Or the time we got to tour Chihuly’s boat house because one of the parents worked there (and I did not bring a camera!).
