💙🐾 Good Luck, Sedro-Woolley Cubs! 🐾💙
One of the very best things about our little hyphenated city is how this community shows up for its kids. Over the past few weeks, you can feel the pride everywhere you go—reader boards shining good-luck messages across town, blue-and-white lights glowing from a home near the high school, and even local businesses stepping up so every student could attend last week’s playoff game.
This week, Sedro-Woolley Rotary even broke into the high school alma mater during their Thursday lunch meeting, hoping a little hometown harmony might send some extra luck the Cubs’ way.
It’s all a reminder of what makes this place special: Friday Night Lights isn’t just a phrase here—it’s part of who we are. From local first responders cheering in the end zone, to the Sedro-Woolley Firefighters working the chains on the sidelines, to the Senior Parent Group keeping everyone fed—our athletes never take the field alone. They carry an entire town with them.
Tomorrow, our Cubs face O’Dea High School in the state playoffs—and once again, we’re asking Sedro-Woolley to show up big.
🚌 The send-off bus leaves SWHS at 9:00 a.m.
Route: North on Third ➝ West on State ➝ North on Metcalf ➝ West on Ferry ➝ out to Cook Road
Line the streets. Wear your Cub Blue. Bring your signs, your cheers, your kids, your neighbors—bring the whole dang town. Let’s wrap these players and coaches in all the love, pride, and support they deserve.
Let’s show them what Sedro-Woolley spirit looks like. LET’S GO CUBS! 💙🐾💙

🎶 ¡Viva el Mariachi! 🎺
Sedro-Woolley High School’s newest music class is striking all the right chords — blending tradition, culture, and community. Under the direction of teacher Brad Hendry, students are learning to play and sing Mariachi music, performing with instruments like the violin, trumpet, guitar, vihuela, and guitarrón.
The program was made possible thanks to the Sedro-Woolley Rotary Club, whose generous donation helped purchase instruments for the class. 💙
Read more about how this new program came to life — and how it’s already bringing students and families together — in this week’s district newsletter:

🇺🇸 Big Lake Elementary Veterans Day Assembly will be held on Monday, November 10 at 1 p.m. Big Lake veterans and families are welcome to attend. Please park in the parent pick-up area in rows to provide maximum space and ease of dismissal. A better suggestion is to park at the Big Lake Historical park so the closest spots can be saved for those with mobility issues. There will be designated seating for those with mobility needs. Veterans, feel free to wear your uniforms if you feel comfortable doing so.
Wear your Red, White and Blue, and join us for this very special occasion.
