Every time you buy a photo, you send a kid to college.

Sort of.

All school year, travelin’ photo man John Fisken has been snapping pics of Coupeville High School athletes at play, as well as middle school and community athletic events.

Many of these photo shoots have ended up here on Coupeville Sports, since he’s nice enough to donate his pics to me in exchange for me tossing up links to where folks can see more photos and possibly purchase some.

And, just as he has done in Oak Harbor for years, this year Fisken set up a deal where a percentage of the money raised by photo sales would revert back to CHS in the form of scholarships for senior student/athletes.

To be eligible, a student had to play at least two sports for all four years and the inaugural winners, announced Tuesday night at the school’s awards ceremony, were Breeanna Messner and Brandon Kelley.

Messner was a four-sport athlete during her time as a Wolf, playing volleyball, basketball and softball while also cheering during the fall.

She was a team captain and claimed several All-Cascade Conference honors along the way.

Kelley played tennis and ran track, where he was a standout hurdler and member of several CHS relay squads, where he often teamed with younger brother Lathom.

The duo received $325 apiece.

Fisken plans to continue the scholarship, so keep that in mind as you peruse his photos going forward.

The dollars you send his way can come back to help Wolf athletes, including, possibly, your own sons or daughters or nieces or nephews or grandchildren.

Circle of life and all.
