🐟 Learning Comes to Life at Lyman Elementary!
Students at Lyman Elementary are getting a close-up look at science in action through a salmon hatchery project right at school. With support from Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group, a tank and salmon eggs were installed after winter break, and Mr. Swanson is leading the project with students.
Each day, students are observing and documenting the changes the salmon go through. The eggs are expected to hatch this week, and in early March—once they reach the smolt stage—the salmon will be released into a local stream with help from the enhancement group.
Hands-on learning, local partnerships, and real-world science all in one project! 🌱🐟

Sedro-Woolley High School Drama invites the community to experience Stargirl, a thoughtful and heartfelt stage adaptation based on the novel by Jerry Spinelli.
The story follows junior Leo Borlock, whose world is turned upside down when a new student—Stargirl—arrives at school. Kind, eccentric, and unapologetically herself, Stargirl challenges the unspoken rules of conformity and forces Leo to confront a difficult choice: blend in with his peers or embrace individuality and authenticity. The play explores themes of kindness, courage, and what it truly means to belong.
Performance Dates & Details
• January 13, 14, and 15
• 7 p.m.
• Sedro-Woolley High School Auditorium
• Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
