💙🐾 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! 💙🐾💙

Evergreen 6th graders in Ms. Kilcup's English Language Arts (ELA) class spent time this week completing a spook-tacular escape room challenge. Students practiced analyzing plot elements and figurative language use in a mysterious short story. Through collaboration the teams solved puzzles and riddles that guided them through the forest. The winning teams had to work together and put their literary analysis prowess to the test in order to escape from the haunted forest! Way to soar Eagles! 🦅🎃
