🇨🇦 For more than 25 years, Sedro-Woolley High School French students have made the trip north to experience the magic of the Vancouver International Children's Festival — and this year was no exception.
On May 28, French students enjoyed performances by La Fanfare Fanfaronne, a wildly imaginative clown and brass ensemble from Quebec, and Missy D, a hip-hop and soul artist originally from Ivory Coast. The day was filled with music, culture, laughter, and learning beyond the classroom walls.
A special thank you goes out to the parent chaperones, bus driver, and students who helped make the trip a success — and to the beautiful weather that made for a perfect day in Vancouver.
As this school year comes to a close, we'd also like to recognize retiring French teacher Robert Slabodnik, who has led this beloved field trip for generations of students. Since 1999, he has helped connect students with French language and culture through this annual experience, creating memories that have lasted long after graduation.
Merci, Monsieur Slabodnik, for your years of dedication and for inspiring so many students to explore the world beyond our borders. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

Evergreen STEM Elementary School’s annual Fourth Grade Float Parade was a huge success on June 2!
Students in all three fourth grade classrooms researched a U.S. state and created detailed floats showcasing what they learned. Each float included specific required elements, and students presented their projects to classmates before the parade.
The event transformed the area outside the school into a colorful showcase of learning as families and visitors walked from float to float, asking questions and hearing directly from students about their states. The parade provided a fun, hands-on way for students to combine research, creativity, public speaking, and state history into one exciting project.
Great job to our fourth graders for their hard work and impressive presentations!

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!
