Next week is National Assistant Principals Week. Since we're on Spring Break, we're hoping everyone can help celebrate our incredible assistant principals who help lead our schools a bit early!
Assistant principals support students, families, teachers, and staff every day. They help create safe learning environments, solve problems, encourage students, and keep our schools running smoothly.
To our assistant principals in the Sedro-Woolley School District: thank you for your leadership, care for students, and commitment to our school community. Your work makes a difference every single day.
Tomorrow, April 4, we celebrate School Librarian Appreciation Day. Since we won't see our librarians on a Saturday, we encourage you to show your appreciation today instead!
School librarians play an important role in helping students discover the joy of reading, develop research skills, and explore new ideas. They create welcoming spaces where curiosity and learning grow every day.
To our amazing school librarians in the Sedro-Woolley School District: thank you for inspiring a love of reading and helping our students become lifelong learners. We appreciate everything you do for our schools.
As we head into the final quarter of the school year, we are proud of the hard work our students have shown and the support provided by families and staff. The last part of the school year is a great time to stay focused and finish strong.
Paraprofessionals work side by side with teachers to help students learn, grow, and feel supported in the classroom. They build relationships, provide encouragement, and make a lasting difference in the lives of our students.
To our paraprofessionals: thank you for your patience, kindness, and dedication. Our schools are stronger because of you, and we are truly grateful for the care you give to our students each day.
Today is a day for a little extra laughter and fun. Whether it is a harmless joke or a silly moment with friends, we hope everyone finds a reason to smile today.
Just remember—keep the jokes kind and school appropriate!

A big thank you to music teacher Brad Hendry for his leadership, and to our families for their continued support.
We are proud of you—and we know your families are too! 👏🎻🎺

Students explored local history through early photos and maps, learning about families like the Prevedells—whose descendants are still part of the Lyman community today. They also heard stories of early settlers, gold seekers heading toward Ruby Creek, and the town’s namesake, Lorenzo Lyman, a prospector who once called the area home.
They discovered how the Skagit River has shaped the town over time—washing away some of its earliest buildings through flooding and erosion—and learned about community leaders like Birdsey Minkler, who helped build the region through mills and public service.
Then came the hands-on fun:
🌾 Playing pioneer games with hoops and sticks
🧈 Churning butter by hand (and learning how cream becomes butter!)
✍️ Writing with ink using feather quills
🍓 Learning how to can jam—and even bringing a jar home
🐄 Trying their hand at “milking” a cow
🌱 Planting kale seeds in the school garden
From history lessons to hands-on experiences, Pioneer Day was a memorable way for students to connect with the roots of their community—no screens required.
Way to go, Lyman Elementary! 👏
