Third and fifth grade students from Clear Lake Elementary visited Village Concepts Sedro-Woolley (Country Meadow Village) this morning to share a special music program with residents. Their songs, smiles, and energy brought so much joy to the room!

These intergenerational moments are a beautiful reminder of the power of music and connection. Thank you to our Clear Lake Trumpeters and the wonderful residents and staff at Country Meadow Village for such a meaningful visit.

💙 Kindness in every cup. 💙

Our Cascade Middle School Sources of Strength students recently led a kindness project for National Random Acts of Kindness Day.

During lunches, student leaders invited their peers to decorate more than 200 coffee sleeves with kind messages, words of encouragement, and original artwork. Today, those sleeves were shared with seven local coffee stands, spreading positivity throughout our community — one cup at a time. ☕✨

Sources of Strength is a peer-led program that helps students build hope, connection, and resilience. By sharing positive messages and reminding one another that asking for help is a strength, these students are helping create a school culture where everyone feels supported and seen.

We’re proud of our student leaders for using their voices to lift others up — both inside our schools and out in the community.

Maintaining aging school facilities requires ongoing planning and prioritization. Here’s a snapshot of recent and planned facility work at Central Elementary School.

Completed with the 2021–2026 Capital Project Levy
• Roof replacement

Projects delayed due to inflationary cost increases (included in the proposed levy)
• ADA-compliant access at the front entrance (currently, those with mobility issues enter through the side entrance and proceed through a gated area, then the playground to a back entrance to an elevator)

Planned improvements if the replacement levy is approved
• 2028: Window replacements
• 2030: ADA-compliant main entrance
• 2032: Kitchen remodel

In addition to site-specific projects, the proposed levy supports ongoing districtwide facility, safety, and technology needs that benefit all schools, including Central. These projects occur throughout the six-year levy period and are not tied to a single year or building.

• School Resource Officer support (in partnership with the City of Sedro-Woolley)
• Ongoing technology replacement and infrastructure support
• Security camera replacement and system maintenance
• Telephone system replacement
• Flooring replacement (carpet and tile)
• Student furniture replacement
• Exterior painting of district buildings

Planning note: Projects shown reflect short-term recommendations developed through the Citizens Advisory Committee based on facility maintenance data. Long-range facility planning is underway separately to assess future needs over the next 10–20 years.
