Legendary physics, engineering and woodworking teacher Tom Allen is retiring from Auburn Adventist Academy after 32 years. His Research Physics class, with a field trip to Loma Linda University, served as a catalyst for many students to pursue a career in medicine.

In 40 years of Adventist education, Doug White has congratulated 39 graduating classes in Washington Conference. His education career includes 32 years at Kirkland Adventist School and Puget Sound Adventist Academy, one year in Spokane, and seven years at Skagit Adventist Academy.

The written and artistic creativity of Washington Conference elementary students continues to be displayed in the double award-winning "The Wave" student newsletter. View the 13-issue archive at www.washingtonconference.org/education.

The Gleaner is a gathering place with news and inspiration for Seventh-day Adventist members and friends throughout the northwestern United States. It is an important communication channel for the North Pacific Union Conference — the regional church support headquarters for Adventist ministry throughout Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. The original printed Gleaner was first published in 1906, and has since expanded to a full magazine with a monthly circulation of more than 40,000. Through its extended online and social media presence, the Gleaner also provides valuable content and connections for interested individuals around the world.
