🍦✉️ Building Bonds—and Futures—in Education!
Today, members of the Educators Rising Club at Sedro-Woolley High School—students with a passion for becoming future educators—got to meet their third-grade pen pals from Jennifer Swenson’s class at Mary Purcell Elementary!
After weeks of exchanging notes via spiral notebooks that the third graders get to keep, the students came together to celebrate with ice cream sundaes and lots of smiles. This special connection gave high schoolers a glimpse into the joy of working with young learners—and gave third graders some amazing role models to look up to! 💙

📣 Congratulations to Sedro-Woolley High School senior Landon Steele, recipient of the Barbara Ward Thompson Alumni Scholarship Award! 🎓💙
Although Landon was unable to attend Wednesday evening’s Senior Awards Night, he met with Mrs. Thompson at the high school to receive his certificate and take a photo.
Much like Landon—who served as ASB President this year—Mrs. Thompson, now 99, was also an incredibly involved student during her time at SWHS. Her 1943 yearbook write-up was impressively long, filled with honors and leadership roles: Honor Society for three years, Girls’ Club Secretary, Pep Club member, class president, yearbook editor, Ski Club, tennis manager, bookroom clerk, Class Song Leader, co-captain scrap driver, and so much more. She was even salutatorian and served on committees ranging from dances to fuel rationing.
It’s clear the spirit of leadership and service runs strong in our Cub community—across generations. 💙🐾
