Our 7th grade AVID students recently visited Western Washington University as part of their annual college exploration trip.

The visit gave students an opportunity to experience a college campus firsthand, learn about higher education opportunities, and begin thinking about their future goals. Experiences like these help students see what's possible after high school and encourage them to start planning for their next steps.

Thank you to Western Washington University for hosting our students and helping inspire the next generation of learners!

Sedro-Woolley High School students are helping lead the conversation about mental health, prevention and belonging.

Members of the SWHS CAMP Club (Cubs Advocating for Mental Health and Prevention) recently attended the Spring Youth Forum, a statewide conference that brought together youth prevention groups from across Washington.

Lila Farnsworth, Jean Crouse, Caily “Luna” Wirta and Layla Parker shared the club’s efforts to promote kindness, inclusion and school connectedness at Sedro-Woolley High School. Their presentation highlighted projects such as positive social media videos, May Day candy flowers with encouraging messages, a schoolwide Post-it note campaign and an interactive photo booth experience.

The students also learned from other prevention clubs, exchanged ideas and discovered new strategies for supporting mental health and helping students feel seen, valued and included.

Thank you to CAMP advisors and community partners who helped make this opportunity possible, including Allia Allen of the Central Skagit Library, Jill Sprouse of United General District 304 and NAMI Skagit.

We are proud of these students for representing Sedro-Woolley High School and sharing ways to build a stronger, more connected school community.

Five Cascade Middle School students are making a difference through the Peer 2 Peer program by sharing prevention and wellness lessons with younger students.

On May 26, Rogan Bisbey, Ava Nichols, Errin Johnson, Caden Harp, and Sonja “Jo” Hartle visited Mary Purcell Elementary School to present a lesson on how to cope with stress to fifth- and sixth-grade students. The presentation focused on healthy coping strategies, and students created take-home booklets to help them remember the skills they learned.

The Mary Purcell students were highly engaged, asked thoughtful questions, and benefited from learning directly from their middle school mentors.

Thank you to these student leaders for using their voices and leadership skills to support younger students in our school community.

Peer 2 Peer is a regional youth prevention program provided by United General District 304. Learn more at United General Peer 2 Peer Program.
