SWHS Students Attend Vancouver International Children's Festival Field Trip SWHS Students Attend Vancouver International Children's Festival Field Trip

Group photo in Vancouver

Sedro-Woolley High School students recently took part in the 25th annual field trip to the Vancouver International Children's Festival. This year, they had the opportunity to experience Llwanda Africa—a performance by musicians and dancers representing Zimbabwe, Uganda, Rwanda, Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Guinea.


After the show, students explored the Granville Island Public Market during a 90-minute lunch break, followed by a scenic 50-minute boat ride aboard the Vancouver Aquabus Ferry, cruising along False Creek near downtown Vancouver.


Thank you to NBCT French Teacher Robert Slabodnik for submitting the information and photos.

Free Breakfast & Lunch for ALL Students Free Breakfast & Lunch for ALL Students

Free breakfast and lunch meals for ALL students will continue for the 2024-2025 school year. The continuation of free meals is possible through implementation of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Community Eligibility Provision (CEP).


Please note that CEP allows the service of one free breakfast and one free lunch meal daily. If students wish to have more than one meal per day, they will need to have money added to their food service account online or in the school office and will be charged accordingly. In addition, milk is an a la carte item. When taken by itself, the charge is $0.60. Students can get milk for free by ensuring they select a reimbursable meal, which can include a milk, fruit and vegetable. Students are not required to get the daily entrée.


Any questions about CEP or the Food Service Program can be directed to the Food Service office at 360-855-3515.

**Please note that most youth sports are run by volunteer boards of directors. Coaches are most often fellow parents and there is a significant referee shortage amongst almost every sport. Volunteering to coach or training to become a referee is one of the best opportunities a parent or guardian has to stay involved in their child's life through various stages of development!
