SAFETY NOTICE!
Dear Families, please talk to your students about using the crosswalks when crossing Third Street between the A building and the C Building and Gym. When you do not use the crosswalks, you put yourself at a greater risk of being hit by drivers backing out of parking spaces along Third Street or who may not expect you to be crossing the street. Please do your part in keeping our campus safe. Thank you!
SENIOR PARENTS! WE NEED HELP!
We are still looking for more help with work in the concession stands. The concession stand is a Senior fundraiser. The money that is raised goes for prom night and to send our students on Senior Grad night trip! All that is needed to work the concession stand is a food handlers permit. Link here ~ https://www.foodworkercard.wa.gov/
It is pretty easy to get. Just print and bring with you on the nights that you sign up for working in the concession stands! Below are the links for all events on sign-up genius that we need help working the stand!

What is Senior Grad Night you might be wondering?!?
Our Graduating class of 2023 are loaded on a bus right after graduation, and go on a night of fun planned by the Senior Parent Group board members! The event is supervised and the graduates are to be picked up the following morning (more details will be sent later). This is a event that is a surprise for all students, so only the board members are aware of where they will be headed for the night. There is a senior drop box in the main office that students can put their $25 deposit in to secure their spot for the trip. Our goal is to send all students on grad night for only $25!
Please feel free to go onto Facebook and follow our parent group page (Sedro-Woolley High School Class of 2023) that is one spot where a lot of information is listed.
Thank you
Senior Class Board Members
