We did it.

Working together as a community, as Wolf Nation, we turned a negative into a positive.

Budget cuts originally claimed the Athletic Trainer position at Coupeville High School, but we weren’t having it.

Thanks to contributions through GoFundMe and in person, we made a solid run at collecting the $8,600 necessary to fund the job for the 2023-2024 school year.

Then, Sunday, spurred by a large group of volunteers, a car wash got us the rest of the way.

The district agreed to accept a donation from the public to fund the position.

The Athletic Trainer’s direct supervisor, Coupeville Athletic Director Willie Smith, has confirmed Wolf grad Jessica Caselden will remain in the position.

When Sept. 1 rolls around, and the Wolves host Klahowya in the football opener, a daughter of the prairie will be exactly where she should be — providing care and inspiration to your children.

Take a victory lap, Wolf Nation. You deserve it.
