Officer-involved shooting in Normandy Park sends one to hospital
Collision leaves one dead, several injured

Des Moines Beach Park recently transformed into an enormous classroom for sixth grade students in the Highline School District.
The subject was stormwater—and the effects of pollution on the local watershed.
But instead of being stuck indoors and reading about the environment in a textbook, these students discussed the topics in a seaside park, located in 22030D Cliff Ave S in Des Moines. They were in an environment directly affected by the lesson.
Students broke into stations where instructors led them in exercises that provided a closer look on the damage stormwater can cause, as well as ways they can possibly mitigate it.
Take the solutions relay, for example. In the race, students have to model activities that would protect the watershed, like sorting recyclables and bringing toxic waste to the appropriate place.
To fill the new position of Senior Engagement Program Manager, Wesley Des Moines has chosen Kathleen Burrows to manage the Des Moines Normandy Park Senior Activity Center.
As the program manager, Burrows is responsible for planning, implementing, managing and evaluating senior services programs, including recreation, social, continuing education, health, human services and nutrition programs. She is also responsible for creating and managing the center’s budget; evaluating and making repair recommendations for the facility; obtaining sources of funding and grants as appropriate; and coordinating personnel, volunteers and special events.

Guerra was born in the capitol city Tegucigalpa in 1999.
