🚲 Rolling into a safer school year!
Physical education teachers from Clear Lake, Samish, Central and Evergreen elementary schools, along with two district physical therapists, are participating in bicycle and pedestrian safety training today at Northwest Educational Service District 189 (NWESD).
The training will help prepare staff to provide bicycle and pedestrian safety instruction for students in grades 3–5. As part of the program, NWESD will provide our elementary schools with a set of 30 bicycles and helmets to use with students.
🚲 Each elementary school will have the bikes and helmets for three weeks, giving students an opportunity to learn and practice important skills for riding and walking safely.
We’re excited to bring this hands-on safety education to our students during the 2026–27 school year! 🪖

Tonight, Samish Elementary celebrated the official ribbon-cutting of a new tire swing! 🛞✨
And what makes this new playground addition extra special? Two former Samish students, Kaylee C. and Sadie B., came back to school tonight to finish what they started as ASB officers!
As students, Kaylee and Sadie helped champion the idea of bringing a tire swing to Samish. Now, years later, they returned to cut the ribbon and see their vision become a reality. ❤️
What a wonderful reminder that former students are always a part of the Bruins family! We’re so grateful to Kaylee and Sadie for coming back to celebrate this special moment with our students and staff.
Here’s to many years of swinging, smiling and making memories! 🛞❤️
