Coupeville Sports

Scotlyn Helm is a star in auto racing and soccer. Now, she’s also a middle schooler. (Lindsey Helm photo)

This one comes with an asterisk.

There are three graduation/passages ceremonies in Coupeville this spring, with 12th graders having exited Saturday afternoon.

Meanwhile, 8th graders bounce from middle to high school and 5th graders move on up from the elementary school to CMS, with both of those events slated for this Wednesday.

With high school and middle school, the list of names I was given to publish are fairly complete.

With this one, featuring the elementary school kids, not so much.

There are 91(!) students making the move to 6th grade, but the parents of 27 of those children opted not to allow their offspring’s name to be released to “non-district media” when they went through the enrollment process.

So be it.

If you read this article and notice your child — a 5th grade grad — is missing, that was your decision.

Now, if you want to change your mind, as some parents did last year, contact the elementary school secretaries and let them know, and they’ll send me updates with which to tweak this story.

If not, again, so be it. You’re the parent, not me, and I respect that.

But, for now, here are the 5th grade grads we can give a moment in the spotlight to:
