‘Targeted, unwelcomed and afraid.' Fuerza teachers, parents voice leadership concerns

Elida Alvarez poured her heart into her job teaching at Fuerza Elementary School , and even helped build the school’s 4th grade dual language program. The school was “never just a workplace,” she told the Kennewick School Board during a Nov. 4 public meeting . “It was a community. I believed in the program, and I was proud of it,” she said. But things changed after Alvarez experienced “one of the most difficult experiences” of her teaching career last school year. “I experienced what I believe was a pattern of intimidation, unfair treatment, excessive micromanagement and unprofessional conduct by the head administrator,” she alleged. The emotional toll became “impossible to hide,” and she began to feel “targeted, unwelcomed and afraid.” “Every day, I tried to walk into my classroom with a positive attitude and give my students the teacher they deserved,” Alvarez said, fighting through tears. “But behind that smile, I was struggling.” “My students saw me crying, noticed my anxiety and would even warn me when the administrator was approaching.

Mead ends Kamiakin's volleyball season in five-set battle for state berth

Kamiakin’s hopes of returning to the Class 4A state volleyball tournament ended Thursday night in a five-set loss to Mead, bringing a heartbreaking conclusion to a season that included an undefeated Mid-Columbia Conference championship. The Panthers defeated the Braves 25-20, 12-25, 25-19, 9-25, 15-7 in a winner-to-state, loser-out District 6 playoff match at Kamiakin High School. For Kamiakin’s eight seniors, it was the final chapter of a season the team had called its “Last Dance.” After the match, emotional players embraced one another on the court before gathering in a corner of the gym, where they remained together long after the final point. “Tonight was a tough loss,” Kamiakin coach Morgan Schauble said afterward. “That’s not what we wanted.” A five-set fight for state Mead took the opening set 25-20 before Kamiakin answered with a commanding 25-12 victory in the second. Junior Tianna Bruinsma recorded six kills in the second set, helping the Braves even the match. The Panthers regained the advantage with a 25-19 third-set victory, putting Kamiakin one set away from elimination. But the Braves responded with their most dominant set of the night, winning the fourth 25-9 to force a decisive fifth set. Junior Olivia Johnson contributed
