Join us tomorrow morning, Saturday, December 14, for a day of high school wrestling at the Spud Walley Invitational! Starting at 9 a.m., teams from across the state will battle it out on the mats.

💪 Coach Brady Mast says: "We’re really excited for this tournament. Returning champs Wapato are back looking to defend their crown, and we’ve added some new 3A teams as well!"

This tournament honors Donald "Spud" Walley, a legendary coach and community leader who dedicated his life to growing the sport of wrestling. Under his leadership, Sedro-Woolley wrestling achieved 12 regional championships, 3 state championships, and 7 individual state champions. Coach Walley’s legacy lives on through this tournament and the youth wrestling program he started in the 1970s.

📍 Location: Sedro-Woolley High School
⏰ Start Time: 9 a.m.

Don’t miss this chance to cheer on some of the state’s best wrestlers and honor a legacy that shaped Sedro-Woolley athletics. Let’s fill the stands and show our support! 🐻‍❄️

For the first time in school history, Mary Purcell Elementary School has partnered with the U.S. Postal Service to bring the magic of the holidays directly to its students. A festive red mailbox, officially designated for letters to Santa, now sits in the school hallway.

Students can pick up holiday-themed stationery from the top of the mailbox, write their wish lists, and drop them into the mail slot. Principal Mike Cullum said the school is working with their regular mail carrier to schedule a special pickup before winter break.

“This is a wonderful way to add a little magic to the season,” Cullum said. “The kids are thrilled, and we’re happy to help send their holiday wishes straight to the North Pole.”

The mailbox has been a hit, with many letters already collected.

Suraya Jorgensen, a sixth grader at Samish Elementary School, stepped into the role of Sedro-Woolley School District Superintendent of the Day on Friday, earning the honor through a nomination by her principal, Laura Schmidt.

"Suraya is often at school early because her mom works here as a paraeducator," said Schmidt. "She helps out with staff members’ young students in the mornings and after school, keeping them safe and occupied productively. I know I can trust Suraya to take responsibility for younger students anytime it’s needed."

Schmidt also highlighted Suraya’s respectful nature.

"She is always seeking to be as respectful as possible with adults. It is easy to tell that she has been brought up with respect for everyone in her family. Suraya will be very missed next year as she moves on to Cascade Middle School."

Congratulations to Suraya for being named Superintendent of the Day! We look forward to seeing her continue to succeed as she transitions to middle school and beyond.

The Mary Purcell Elementary gymnasium was filled with festive spirit as kindergarten and first-grade students stole the show at their annual winter program!

Families and friends gathered to enjoy an enchanting performance of holiday tunes, sung with enthusiasm and joy by our talented young stars. It was a magical evening filled with music, laughter, and the warmth of community.

A big thank you to our incredible staff and supportive families who made this event such a success!

The 7th/8th Grade Band Concert at Cascade Middle School on Wednesday was one for the books! Our talented young musicians dazzled the audience with their performances, but the real show-stealer? English teacher Michael Stevens and his epic journey to master the mighty triangle!

Here’s a quick play-by-play:
🔹 Polished the triangle so hard, he missed the first cue.
🔹 Sneezed during his big moment—bless you, Mr. Stevens!
🔹 Took out a music stand in a dramatic stumble (don’t worry, no band members were harmed).
🔹 Answered a phone call mid-song… multitasking isn’t always a win.

But just when we thought all hope was lost, at the very end of the song, Mr. Stevens nailed it! The final triumphant ding echoed through the gym like the victory cry of a champion. 🎉

Special thanks to band instructor Kyler Brumbaugh for his patience and to Mr. Stevens for keeping us laughing. We’ll be talking about this legendary performance for years to come!

Lyman was filled with holiday cheer on Wednesday afternoon as families gathered for a special event hosted by Lyman Elementary School's Parent Group.

The highlight was an up-close visit with Candy and Tinsel, two reindeer who delighted children and adults alike. Families were able to snap photos with the festive duo.

Adding to the holiday magic, Santa Claus made an appearance, giving children a chance to share their wish lists and grab a candy cane.

Residents at Country Meadow Village had a festive and fun-filled afternoon on Wednesday playing Buddy Bingo with none other than Buddy the Elf (a.k.a. Sam) and his assistant, Sativia! 🎁 These two Sedro-Woolley High School students are leaders in the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Club, serving as vice president and president. Their visit is part of a cherished partnership where FBLA members regularly spend time with the residents, spreading joy and building connections. 💙

Joining in the holiday fun were Sedro-Woolley School District Superintendent Dr. Miriam Mickelson and Sedro-Woolley High School Principal Kerri Carlton, who stopped by to share in the laughter and cheer.

A big shout out to Country Meadow Village for their dedication to creating vibrant, engaging partnerships with our students with their residents and fostering strong ties with our community. 🌷

The talented Sedro-Woolley High School band, led by the ever-creative Brad Hendry, opened Tuesday's winter concert with a symphony of sound using... plastic grocery bags!

Mr. Hendry joked that with a tight budget, he managed to buy new instruments for just 8¢ each. Students walked on stage with the bags (a nod to Washington's grocery bag fee!) and wowed the audience by rattling, snapping, popping, and crinkling them into a percussion masterpiece. What a clever and hilarious way to kick off the evening!

The concert continued with an incredible performance, including the thrilling story of Krampus and St. Nick brought to life through music. These young musicians truly put on a show to remember. 🎷🎺✨

On Tuesday, Big Lake Elementary School showcased its annual Winter Program, and the students truly shined! 🌟 Their hard work and talent were on full display. 🎶👏

A big round of applause to our Beavers for putting on such a memorable event! 🦫💙

Cascade Middle School students unleashed their creativity Tuesday afternoon in the school library, transforming construction paper, glue, and other craft supplies into holiday surprises for their families and friends.

Librarian Heather Swenson said the event provided students a chance to tap into their artistic side while sharing the joy of homemade gifts.

To make the afternoon even sweeter, participants enjoyed hot chocolate as they worked on their projects.

Mary Purcell Elementary School has been honored with statewide recognition for its exceptional efforts in Closing Gaps for English Learner Progress. This accolade, awarded by the Washington School Recognition Program, celebrates the school’s commitment to providing equitable support and resources that empower all students to thrive. Congratulations to the Mary Purcell team for this achievement!

Big Lake Elementary School joined with the Big Lake Fire Department and Clear Lake Food Bank to collect food for the community. Each class competed daily to see who could bring in the most food and earn the title of "Top Class." Thank you to all who participated and supported this effort!

Molly Bartlett's Foundations Kindergarten class took the win for Day One. Macaroni and Cheese day. Together Big Lake Elementary brought in 418 boxes of Macaroni and Cheese.

On Day 2 of the food drive competition, students brought in an impressive 147 jars of jelly! Big Lake Elementary Secretary Jackie Roberts teamed up with Secretary Shawna Carpenter to organize the jars, arranging grape on the left and strawberry on the right, ensuring all the labels were perfectly aligned. This dynamic duo is well-known for keeping Principal Lutes on track. A big thank-you to the ASB helpers and everyone contributing to this community effort!

Day 3 brought in an incredible haul for the food drive! Students collected 86 boxes of snacks, 131 boxes of cereal, and an astonishing 568 jars of peanut butter.

The food drive continued strong on Day 4 with an impressive 571 cans of soup collected. Every can counts toward helping families in our community, and this effort truly warms the heart.

We’re happy to continue our recognition program to honor those who make a difference in Building Bridges with Kindness throughout our Sedro-Woolley School District. This month, we’re shining a spotlight on another individual who has gone above and beyond to create a supportive and compassionate environment for our students, colleagues, and the community. Congratulations to this month’s recipient!

At Sedro-Woolley High School and State Street High School, School Psychologist Lacy Lahr, exemplifies the district's theme, "Stronger Together: Building Bridges with Kindness." Her commitment to fostering connections, understanding students on an individual level, and supporting families reflects the very essence of this year's theme.

Lacy finds immense joy in her role, particularly in the relationships she builds with students.

"I love working with my school teams, with students, and with families. Getting to know students on an individual basis and building a relationship with them helps me to understand them better and to support them," she said.

For Lacy, the work is especially rewarding when she can help high school students explore who they are, identify their strengths, and discover what they want from life.

One of the key ways Lacy builds connections is through her compassionate approach with parents and families. She strives to ensure that every interaction conveys empathy and support, creating an environment where families feel listened to and comfortable being part of their child's school team. This approach not only strengthens the bond between home and school but also reinforces the idea that kindness is a powerful tool in education.

Reflecting on the district's theme, Lacy said the work that educators do every day is challenging, difficult work.

“I truly believe that the more kindness that we can extend to one another, the better we can help our students to be successful."

Lacy Lahr's dedication to her students, her teams, and the families she serves makes her a shining example of how "Building Bridges with Kindness" can create a stronger, more supportive school community.

Cascade Middle School’s Project Management & Leadership Class, led by CTE leadership teacher Heather Hirschi, wrapped up its annual food drive competition held from December 2 through December 13, having collected more than 1,600 items to donate to Helping Hands Food Bank. The event brought together students and staff for a shared mission of community support.

All sixth-period classes participated in a friendly competition to collect the most non-perishable food items. Donation boxes were placed in classrooms, encouraging students and staff to contribute directly to their sixth-period classes. Participants could also drop off labeled bags of donations in Hirschi’s classroom, ensuring their contributions counted toward their class totals.

At the conclusion of the food drive, the top three sixth-period classes with the highest number of donations per student earned a special treat just in time for winter break, adding a festive incentive to the event.

The initiative fostered a sense of teamwork and leadership among Cascade Middle School students and also highlighted the school community's commitment to giving back during the holiday season.

The Sedro-Woolley High School orchestra performed for the Sedro-Woolley Rotary Club on Thursday, entertaining members with a selection of holiday favorites. The students showcased their talent, spreading cheer and warmth throughout the event. 🎄✨

Each student received a Rotary 4-Way Test challenge coin as a token of appreciation for their performance. To top it off, the Rotary Club presented a $1,000 grant to Sedro-Woolley High School. The funds will be used to purchase new instruments for students who might not otherwise have access and to repair existing school-owned instruments. 🎁🎵

A huge thank-you to the orchestra for sharing their music and passion with the community, and to the Rotary Club for their generous support of our students!

Leaders from school districts across Skagit County gathered virtually last week for a Legislative Town Hall to address the critical funding challenges impacting public education. The discussion centered on chronic underfunding in key areas, including transportation, special education, and materials, supplies, and operational costs (MSOC).

Superintendents and school board members highlighted how these shortfalls jeopardize equitable access to education. For example, underfunded transportation budgets strain resources for students experiencing housing instability, while the lack of adequate special education funding forces districts to reallocate funds from other essential programs.

Since 2020, the Sedro-Woolley School District (SWSD) has faced a cumulative funding shortfall of $23.65 million, underscoring significant gaps in state support for essential services. This gap stems from underfunding across critical areas such as special education, transportation, and utilities.

Sedro-Woolley Superintendent Miriam Mickelson shared the story of a recently graduated student whose success was made possible by the district’s efforts to provide stable transportation despite limited resources.

“Every dollar diverted from classrooms to cover transportation costs is a dollar less for academic interventions, mental health supports, and other key services,” Mickelson said.

Legislators acknowledged the challenges and affirmed their commitment to prioritizing education, particularly special education and programs like Transitions Kindergarten. However, they noted the state’s current budget shortfall as a significant hurdle.

The event concluded with a shared commitment to collaboration. Local leaders pledged to advocate alongside legislators to address funding gaps and ensure every student has the resources they need to thrive.

Watch the full discussion by clicking the link below.

Since the 2020-2021 school year, Skagit County's seven school districts have faced a combined $7.94 million state funding shortfall for transportation and a staggering $46.95 million gap for special education. Sedro-Woolley School District alone has experienced a $20 million deficit for special education and $1.3 million for transportation, putting immense pressure on resources to meet growing student needs.

Skagit County's seven school districts have faced a combined $13 million funding gap for utilities and insurance and an additional $22 million shortfall for materials and supplies (MSOC) since the 2020-2021 school year. Sedro-Woolley School District alone has encountered a $2.8 million deficit for utilities and insurance but has proactively saved over $1 million in MSOC costs to reallocate toward critical needs.
