🎉 CENTRAL ELEMENTARY: A LOOK BACK AT 1938!
As Central Elementary prepares to celebrate its centennial, we continue to receive some incredible pieces of the school's history from former students and their families.
Corintha Taylor shared these treasures from her grandparents, Paul Slattery and Carlie Cole, who completed eighth grade at Central in 1938. Their diplomas, dated May 25, 1938, even feature an image of the school and were signed by Central Principal Mary Purcell.
Corintha also shared what she believes is a photo of Central's seventh- and eighth-grade classes from 1938. On the back, generations of names have been carefully handwritten — a reminder that every face in these old photographs represents a story and a connection to our community.
And here's another fascinating piece of Central history: eighth-grade graduation meant admission to high school! Both diplomas state that the students had completed the prescribed course of study for the grade school and were entitled to a diploma "and admission to the High School."
Thank you, Corintha, for helping us preserve and share this wonderful glimpse into Central nearly 90 years ago!
🏫 Central Elementary Centennial Celebration

⏰ Noon–2 p.m.

Do you recognize a family member in the 1938 photograph or have your own piece of Central history tucked away somewhere? We'd love to hear your memories in the comments!

100 Years of Memories at Central Elementary! ❤️
As we prepare to celebrate Central Elementary School's 100th anniversary, we're loving the memories being shared by former students!
Patti Henderson Baines, a member of the Sedro-Woolley High School Class of 1971, shared this photo of her sixth-grade class at Central during the 1964-65 school year with Mrs. Lovaas.
Patti remembers the lasting impact of teachers like Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Schaffer and Mrs. Lovaas, who taught students to think critically, write in full sentences and navigate a library card catalog. She especially remembers the many happy hours she spent in Central's library, where her favorite books were the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle series!
Now it's your turn to make some memories with us!
Join us for Central Elementary's Centennial Celebration on Saturday, October 3, from noon to 2 p.m. Enjoy self-guided tours of the school, special celebrations and ribbon-cutting ceremonies as we honor 100 years of learning, friendships and community.
Were you a Central student? Do you recognize anyone in this photo? We'd love to hear your memories in the comments!

🎶 Learning to lead — and bringing new ideas back to Woolley!
Student choir leaders from Sedro-Woolley High School and Cascade Middle School recently traveled to Inglemoor High School in Kenmore with Choral Music Director Stephanie Cates for a full day focused on leadership within choral programs.
Students practiced leading sectionals, learned new activities to engage their fellow singers, and explored ideas for building community, recruiting new members, fundraising and strengthening their choir programs.
They also had the opportunity to learn and perform a piece of music alongside middle and high school students from throughout the Puget Sound region.
It was a full day of music, collaboration and leadership — and our students returned with plenty of ideas for helping our own choir programs continue to grow! 🎵

🐻 Meet some of our newest Cubs!
This morning, we stopped by the Cubs Early Learning Academy at Sedro-Woolley High School, where some of our youngest learners were busy playing, creating and learning together.
The Cubs Early Learning Academy has been part of the Sedro-Woolley School District for more than 40 years! Today, the preschool serves as a lab classroom for SWHS Child Psychology students, giving our high school students the opportunity to take what they are learning in class and put it into practice alongside preschoolers.
It’s a pretty special partnership: our youngest Cubs get a fun, engaging preschool experience while our high school students gain hands-on experience working with children and learning about child development.
Interested in joining the waitlist for a future school year? Contact Jessica Ortega-Mendez at jortega@swsd101.org for more information.
