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.

✨ Community Partnership Supporting Students ✨
Yesterday, Sedro-Woolley Rotarians delivered easy-to-cook snack foods to State Street High School and Sedro-Woolley High School as part of the club’s youth outreach efforts. Their goal is simple and deeply appreciated: make sure students know they are supported and have access to something to eat when they need it.

At State Street High School, Principal Dr. Carly Boyd has been purchasing food herself to assist students who arrive hungry or need a boost to get through the day. Rotary’s contribution to her office pantry expands what she can offer—because we all know that fed students are better able to learn.

At Sedro-Woolley High School, most of the donated food was placed near the front doors so students can easily grab something on their way in or on their way home. Items like mac and cheese cups, noodles, granola bars, and protein-packed snacks provide a quick, simple option for students who may have missed breakfast or may not have food available at home later.

💙 Rotary welcomes community involvement.
If others would like to help, the pantry at SWHS—located just outside the main entrance—is easy to access and stock. Easy-to-prepare food items are especially helpful. For State Street, community donations can be made during school hours by ringing the buzzer on the front door. (We also heard that students LOVE instant hot chocolate packets right now during the cold days of winter! )

We are grateful for the Sedro-Woolley Rotary Club’s continued support of our students. Partnerships like these make a meaningful difference for students and families across our district. 💙🤍
