The WOLFPACK Family/Community News

Dear Coupeville Families and Community,

As we continue in May, we are proud and gratitude for what we've accomplished together this year. Our students have grown beautifully through challenges and triumphs, supported by caring families, dedicated educators, and our entire Coupeville community.

Celebrating Our Athletes

Our track and softball teams are preparing for playoffs with the same determination and grace that defines our Wolves. We also want to recognize our baseball team - a truly outstanding group of young men who embodied everything we value in Coupeville athletics. These players demonstrated incredible growth in determination and perseverance throughout the season. More importantly, they supported and mentored each other like true brothers, showing that the greatest victories often happen in the relationships we build and the character we develop.

Whether our teams come home with trophies or personal bests, we celebrate every student who has pushed themselves, supported teammates, and shown true sportsmanship. Each practice, each competition, each moment of encouragement builds character that lasts far beyond the playing field.

Honoring Every Learning Journey

As our high school and middle school students complete their testing, and our elementary students prepare to begin, we recognize that each student's journey is unique. Behind every test score is a whole person - curious, creative, resilient. Our teachers have poured their hearts into creating supportive environments where every student can shine in their own way.

As we finish this school year strong, let's carry forward the compassion, respect, and school spirit that make Coupeville truly special. Every student matters. Every effort counts. Every person in our community contributes to the success of our Wolves.

With pride and appreciation,

Shannon Leatherwood, Superintendent
