📸 Today is Picture Day at Samish Elementary School! October 7 is Picture Day.
🚒🔥 Good Beginnings Preschool students had some very special visitors during Fire Prevention Week! Sedro-Woolley firefighters and EMTs stopped by to help our youngest learners learn about fire safety and the important work first responders do in our community.
Students waited patiently in the fenced-in playground with their classmates and teachers before heading out in small groups for their turn to get an up-close look at a fire truck and ambulance, see emergency equipment and visit with the first responders who help keep our community safe.
There was plenty of excitement — and some very impressive patience while waiting for a turn! ❤️
Thank you to our Sedro-Woolley firefighters and EMTs for spending time with our preschoolers and helping make Fire Prevention Week memorable!

💙 You belong. Your voice matters. You can sit with us.
Students involved in the Sources of Strength program at Cascade Middle School spent today’s lunches helping build connections across their school community.
Sources of Strength students wore T-shirts with a simple message: “You can sit with us.” They visited tables throughout the cafeteria and invited classmates to sign a You Belong Pledge, encouraging students to use their voices to help others, recognize their own strengths and help their classmates feel that they belong.
It was a student-led reminder that small actions — inviting someone to sit with you, offering encouragement or simply making someone feel welcome — can make a difference.
Thank you to our Cascade students for looking out for one another and helping make their school a place where students know: You matter, and you belong. 💙

🎉 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

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.
