CHS football supports, and appreciates, its athletic trainer. (Brenn Sugatan photo)
She is needed, she is appreciated, she is valued.
All of that and much more comes out when Coupeville athletes, coaches and parents talk about Jessica Caselden, who returned to her hometown to teach a new generation of Wolves.
With proposed budget cuts swirling, the option of cutting Caselden’s role as CHS Athletic Trainer is massively unpopular, and many are speaking out.
Another letter in support of her:
Jessie and what she has brought to our school and district has been seen.
Our family, the football family, has benefited greatly from having Jessie on the sidelines and in the gym with these kids. Just as I am sure other sports have as well.
From reassuring kids they are OK to giving the initial eval on the sidelines, she has been a bright spot.
She speaks words of encouragement, when kids need it.
She is teaching these kids things our district otherwise wouldn’t be able to offer.
It would be a disservice to our kids, both the athletes and those who wish to go into sports meds, to do away with her position and let her go.
Before you consider letting her go consider all the good she has done for our kids.
I know my family was grateful for her this year.
I was looking forward to having her on the sidelines with us in the coming years.
Respectfully,
A Coupeville family of athletes
