Sedro-Woolley High School’s Teen Court students wrapped up another impactful year of service and learning on May 20. Senior students Madelyn Faisy, Renato Lecca, Katelyn Kins and Juan Godinez were recognized by Skagit County Superior Court Judge Elizabeth Niedzwski for their dedication to the program.

Throughout the school year, Teen Court students participated in trainings, community outreach events, the Winter Wishes drive, six juvenile cases and a field trip to the Skagit Community Justice Center to observe adult criminal court proceedings.

The Teen Court program is a partnership with Skagit County Superior Court that gives first-time, low-level juvenile offenders the opportunity to participate in a restorative justice process focused on accountability, growth and learning. Students serve in important courtroom roles including judge, court clerk, bailiff, advocates and jurors while learning about due process rights and the justice system alongside volunteer attorneys and legal professionals.

A special thank you goes to Teen Court advisor Aimee Gustafson for the incredible time, care and leadership she pours into this program. Her dedication creates meaningful opportunities for students to grow as leaders while learning firsthand about the justice system and service to their community.

Thank you as well to Judge Niedzwski, Skagit County Superior Court and the many community volunteers who help make this meaningful experience possible for our students each year. ⚖️💙 #SedroWoolley #SWHS #FutureLeaders

Students in Family & Consumer Sciences classes at Sedro-Woolley High School took part in the “Bite of Reality” financial simulation on Wednesday, May 20, hosted by volunteers from WECU.

During the hands-on activity, students were assigned careers and monthly incomes, then visited stations representing real-life expenses like housing, groceries, transportation, childcare, entertainment, clothing, utilities and more. Students had to make budgeting decisions while also navigating unexpected “fickle finger of fate” moments, including surprise expenses like car repairs or wedding gifts.

Volunteers helped students think through important financial topics such as saving money, avoiding high-interest credit card debt and asking good questions to make informed financial decisions.

One of the biggest takeaways for many students? The surprisingly high costs of transportation and childcare in the real world.

The simulation gave students a valuable opportunity to practice real-world financial literacy skills in a fun and engaging way. Thank you to WECU and all of the volunteers who helped make this experience possible for our students! We also appreciated Washington state Sen. Keith Wagoner for stopping by to volunteer at the event.
