🎶 ¡Viva el Mariachi! 🎺
Sedro-Woolley High School’s newest music class is striking all the right chords — blending tradition, culture, and community. Under the direction of teacher Brad Hendry, students are learning to play and sing Mariachi music, performing with instruments like the violin, trumpet, guitar, vihuela, and guitarrón.
The program was made possible thanks to the Sedro-Woolley Rotary Club, whose generous donation helped purchase instruments for the class. 💙
Read more about how this new program came to life — and how it’s already bringing students and families together — in this week’s district newsletter:

🇺🇸 Big Lake Elementary Veterans Day Assembly will be held on Monday, November 10 at 1 p.m. Big Lake veterans and families are welcome to attend. Please park in the parent pick-up area in rows to provide maximum space and ease of dismissal. A better suggestion is to park at the Big Lake Historical park so the closest spots can be saved for those with mobility issues. There will be designated seating for those with mobility needs. Veterans, feel free to wear your uniforms if you feel comfortable doing so.
Wear your Red, White and Blue, and join us for this very special occasion.
