What did the Fox say? She said "I am retiring!" Clear Lake Elementary School students showed their love for their beloved Principal Dina Fox by wearing fox ears at the end-of-year assembly this morning. She will be missed!

💪 Today, Central Elementary was buzzing with energy as students took part in the Stronger Together Competition—a school-wide event organized by teacher Ashleigh Howell that brought fun, teamwork, and leadership to the forefront! 🌈 24 teams of students from Foundations Kindergarten to 6th grade—each with 2–3 sixth grade team captains—competed in 15 game rotations throughout the day. 👕 Teams created their own names (like Neon Pink Nike Pandas and Yellow Yo-Yos) and proudly wore custom T-shirts as they rotated through 9 stations in the morning and 6 after lunch. 📅 This culminating event took the place of Play Day and was the result of team meetings and bonding activities held all year long. It was a celebration of connection, leadership, and the spirit of working together! #CentralElementary #Teamwork #StudentLeadership

🍪📚 Today, families joined Ms. Georgio’s 3rd graders at Samish Elementary School for a special End-of-Year Celebration. The event kicked off with students showing families members their personal memory binders. They shared their OREO opinion writing (Opinion, Reason, Example, Opinion (restated)), their collaborative weather poster and enjoyed a slideshow of their beach field trip adventures. 🏆 The special celebration wrapped up with a personalized awards ceremony honoring each student along with juice and cookies. Thank you, Ms. Georgio, for creating such a meaningful way to celebrate a wonderful year of learning! 💙 #SedroWoolleySchools #SamishElementary #ThirdGradeMemories

🍦✉️ Building Bonds—and Futures—in Education! Today, members of the Educators Rising Club at Sedro-Woolley High School—students with a passion for becoming future educators—got to meet their third-grade pen pals from Jennifer Swenson’s class at Mary Purcell Elementary! After weeks of exchanging notes via spiral notebooks that the third graders get to keep, the students came together to celebrate with ice cream sundaes and lots of smiles. This special connection gave high schoolers a glimpse into the joy of working with young learners—and gave third graders some amazing role models to look up to! 💙 #FutureEducators #EducatorsRising #SWHS #MaryPurcellElementary #PenPalPower

Full circle moment at Sedro-Woolley High School! 🐾 Members of the Class of 2025 visited the Cubs Early Learning Academy last week before graduation—but not as preschoolers this time! These seniors started their educational journey upstairs in the C Building. For over 40 years, this unique preschool program has been a part of the Sedro-Woolley School District, evolving into a hands-on learning experience for high school students while serving families in our community. ❤️👶📘 #SWHS #CubsEarlyLearningAcademy #FullCircle #Classof2025

📣 Congratulations to Sedro-Woolley High School senior Landon Steele, recipient of the Barbara Ward Thompson Alumni Scholarship Award! 🎓💙 Although Landon was unable to attend Wednesday evening’s Senior Awards Night, he met with Mrs. Thompson at the high school to receive his certificate and take a photo. Much like Landon—who served as ASB President this year—Mrs. Thompson, now 99, was also an incredibly involved student during her time at SWHS. Her 1943 yearbook write-up was impressively long, filled with honors and leadership roles: Honor Society for three years, Girls’ Club Secretary, Pep Club member, class president, yearbook editor, Ski Club, tennis manager, bookroom clerk, Class Song Leader, co-captain scrap driver, and so much more. She was even salutatorian and served on committees ranging from dances to fuel rationing. It’s clear the spirit of leadership and service runs strong in our Cub community—across generations. 💙🐾 #OnceACubAlwaysACub #SWHSClassOf2025 #ProudToBeSW #CubsLead
