🎶 Learning to lead — and bringing new ideas back to Woolley!
Student choir leaders from Sedro-Woolley High School and Cascade Middle School recently traveled to Inglemoor High School in Kenmore with Choral Music Director Stephanie Cates for a full day focused on leadership within choral programs.
Students practiced leading sectionals, learned new activities to engage their fellow singers, and explored ideas for building community, recruiting new members, fundraising and strengthening their choir programs.
They also had the opportunity to learn and perform a piece of music alongside middle and high school students from throughout the Puget Sound region.
It was a full day of music, collaboration and leadership — and our students returned with plenty of ideas for helping our own choir programs continue to grow! 🎵

🐻 Meet some of our newest Cubs!
This morning, we stopped by the Cubs Early Learning Academy at Sedro-Woolley High School, where some of our youngest learners were busy playing, creating and learning together.
The Cubs Early Learning Academy has been part of the Sedro-Woolley School District for more than 40 years! Today, the preschool serves as a lab classroom for SWHS Child Psychology students, giving our high school students the opportunity to take what they are learning in class and put it into practice alongside preschoolers.
It’s a pretty special partnership: our youngest Cubs get a fun, engaging preschool experience while our high school students gain hands-on experience working with children and learning about child development.
Interested in joining the waitlist for a future school year? Contact Jessica Ortega-Mendez at jortega@swsd101.org for more information.

🏈 FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL: CUBS VS. ARLINGTON
We’re excited to confirm that Sedro-Woolley High School will host Arlington High School at 7 p.m. September 11! 💙🤍
Track resurfacing work is still underway, so fans will notice some temporary changes to stadium access Friday night. Please plan ahead, follow marked walkways and respect all caution tape to protect the new track surface and help keep everyone safe.
🎟️ TICKETS
We highly recommend purchasing tickets online before the game to skip the ticket booth lines:
https://swhscubsden.com/home/68215f63718093eb9313e687
Northwest Conference admission prices are:
• $5 — Senior citizens (62+), military, children, elementary and middle school students, and visiting students with ASB
• $7 — Adults and high school students without ASB
• FREE — SWHS students with their ASB card
Online purchases include an additional $1 platform fee, making online tickets $6 and $8, respectively.
🚧 TRACK & STADIUM ACCESS
The track resurfacing will not be complete by Friday. A portion of the north side of the track will have a new surface but will not yet be usable. This area will be blocked with caution tape. Please do not enter or cross the restricted area, as doing so could damage the new surface.
Designated walkways on the east and south sides of the track will also be marked with caution tape. Please stay within the designated routes.
🌭 CONCESSION STAND ACCESS
Because of the track work, access to the south side of the concession stand from the home grandstand will be different than usual. Fans will need to exit through the gate to the practice field to the right of the grandstands, toward the back of the C Building, and walk across the grass.
Please note that this route is not wheelchair accessible. We apologize for the inconvenience. An accessible pathway will be available to the north side of the concession stand.
We also ask for a little extra patience at the concession stand Friday night. The stand is operated by Senior Parent Group volunteers, with proceeds supporting senior week activities for the Class of 2027. This will be their first home football game of the season, so please thank them for giving their time to support our students!
📣 GAME-DAY REMINDERS
• Cascade Middle School students and other younger students must be accompanied and supervised by an adult.
• Keep walkways and common areas clear.
• Alcohol, drugs, smoking and vaping are prohibited on all school district property, including parking lots.
• Students who leave the venue will not be allowed to re-enter.
• Large bags and backpacks are not permitted. Small purses for personal items are allowed but may be subject to search.
• No outside food, beverages or balls are permitted.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation as we host our first home football game while the track project is being completed. Please respect all caution tape, marked walkways and restricted areas throughout the evening.
