Please visit our CFAC website to learn more about the process.
Free internet hotspots available
The Stanwood-Camano School District, through a grant from T-Mobile’s Project 10Million, has hotspots available to those students who do not have internet access available at their homes and need service to extend their learning.
The hotspot allows for 100GB of data. That’s enough data for 140 hours of streaming school videos or 5,000 hours of internet research or 200 hours of online college test prep!
Please let your school know if this is a need your student has.
Exciting Events and Information from UBC
Hello Utsalady Families,
We hope your week is off to a good start!
We are excited to share that we need your help to sell raffle tickets for the Disneyland Park Pass Raffle and for our first upcoming Trivia Night at Arrowhead Ranch. These will be our main fundraisers for the 2022/23 school year, and we need these funds to continue to fund field trips, classroom supplies, field day, STEM night, and many other activities that we hope add to the student experience at Utsalady.
Trivia Night at Arrowhead Ranch will be for adults (21 and over) to have fun getting their brain teased and to donate to our school. The event will be Saturday, March 18th. We are also seeking local donations for raffle items that will be raffled on the night of the Trivia Night.
The weeks leading up to the Trivia Night we will run a raffle for TWO separate Disneyland Park Pass Packages (5 passes per raffle winner). The Disneyland Park Pass Raffle is for everyone, near and far, raffle tickets will cost $20 each. Note: Raffle winners for the Disneyland Park Passes DO NOT need to be present at the drawing to win. Disneyland Park Pass winners will be drawn at the Trivia Night event on March 18th.
You can purchase both Trivia Night Tickets and the Disneyland Park Pass Raffle Tickets at TRIVIA AND RAFFLE TICKETS.
Please feel free to share this link with any and all. Anyone can win the Disneyland Park Pass package, not just Trivia Night Attendees or Utsalady Families.
To help sell raffle and trivia night tickets we have an easy email template below that you can copy and paste to send to friends and family to maximize the outreach. The winners of the Disneyland raffle will be selected at Trivia Night on March 18th, but they do not have to be present to win, so feel free to send it to everyone!
