Pioneer Day at Lyman Elementary brought history to life today thanks to an incredible group of parent volunteers! Students stepped back in time to experience what life was like in the upriver community during the late 1800s.
Students explored local history through early photos and maps, learning about families like the Prevedells—whose descendants are still part of the Lyman community today. They also heard stories of early settlers, gold seekers heading toward Ruby Creek, and the town’s namesake, Lorenzo Lyman, a prospector who once called the area home.
They discovered how the Skagit River has shaped the town over time—washing away some of its earliest buildings through flooding and erosion—and learned about community leaders like Birdsey Minkler, who helped build the region through mills and public service.
Then came the hands-on fun:
🌾 Playing pioneer games with hoops and sticks
🧈 Churning butter by hand (and learning how cream becomes butter!)
✍️ Writing with ink using feather quills
🍓 Learning how to can jam—and even bringing a jar home
🐄 Trying their hand at “milking” a cow
🌱 Planting kale seeds in the school garden
From history lessons to hands-on experiences, Pioneer Day was a memorable way for students to connect with the roots of their community—no screens required.
Way to go, Lyman Elementary! 👏

The Sedro-Woolley School Board has shared an update on the district’s superintendent search.
After a thoughtful process—and with valuable input from students, staff, families, and community members—the Board has decided to pause (not end) the search and plans to resume it in fall 2026. This approach supports stability, continuity, and responsible use of district resources during an important time for our schools.
The Board has unanimously appointed Brett Greenwood as Interim Superintendent for the 2026–2027 school year, beginning July 1 (pending contract finalization). Mr. Greenwood brings 14 years of experience in Sedro-Woolley and a strong understanding of our district and community.
The board also extended their sincere thanks to Interim Superintendent Brian Isakson for his leadership and service. He will return to his role as Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning this summer.
Thank you to everyone who participated in the process and continues to support our schools. We look forward to continuing this work together.

Samish Elementary School welcomed several visitors this morning for a conversation about rural schools and the needs of students in Sedro-Woolley.
Joining school staff for the visit were Keith Wagoner and Carolyn Eslick, along with Sedro-Woolley School Board members and community members.
The group toured the school with Samish Elementary Principal Laura Schmidt and Interim Superintendent Brian Isakson, learning more about the school, its students, and the unique needs of operating the school.
During the visit, conversations included ways the state may be able to support Samish in the future, including potential capital project funding and infrastructure needs that help schools operate safely and plan for the long term.
We appreciate our local legislators taking time to visit Samish Elementary and learn more about the work happening in our schools and the needs of students in the Sedro-Woolley community.

#ThrowbackThursday | Sedro-Woolley High School – 2005-2006
As we count down to graduation for the Class of 2026, we’re taking a look back at the 2005-2006 school year at Sedro-Woolley High School. Wow! It's already been 20 years for this group of students!
That year’s yearbook theme was “The Wonder Year” with a TV-guide style cover titled “Season Finale: The Class of 2006 Moves On.” From state championships to spirited Homecoming celebrations, the pages capture the energy and community that have long been part of Cub culture.
You’ll see highlights from FFA, Loggerodeo, athletics, Homecoming Week, and some unforgettable spirit days. And in one photo, you might even spot a couple of familiar faces who now work right here in the district. Let’s just say we’re glad they’re in the classroom these days and not climbing onto the car on top of Low Auto Sales.
As we celebrate our graduating seniors this spring, it’s fun to look back at the moments, traditions, and memories that connect generations of Cubs. Do you see any of your classmates in these photos?
Once a Cub, always a Cub. 💙
