🌿🎨 A special first at Central Elementary School!

The Matt Mihelich Outdoor Classroom officially welcomed its first group of students on October 7!

Art and music teacher Mrs. Olberg took her Wednesday Club students outside for the very first learning experience in this special space.

What a wonderful way to bring learning beyond the classroom walls! We look forward to seeing all the ways Central students and staff will use this outdoor space for creativity, exploration and connection in the years ahead.

🚒🔥 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. 💙
