It’s a piece of clothing so special, it’s been 125 years in the making.

With Coupeville High School set to hit a major milestone when the calendar flips to 2025, the Spirit of Cheer Booster Club is hard at work to promote it.

They’ve produced an exclusive black-on-black hoodie which celebrates the upcoming 125th anniversary of CHS, with plans to have a long sleeve t-shirt ready for basketball season.

The hoodie sells for $45, with the money going to help the booster club award scholarships to graduating seniors headed to college or trade school.

You can buy one at home football games — the Wolves host South Whidbey Oct. 11 and Winlock Oct. 25.

The SOC is sharing space with the Coupeville Booster Club, and their table is right in front of the bleachers.

Or, if you can’t get to a game in person, you can use the info found in the pic below to buy one that way.

They’ve set big goals.

Coupeville Middle and High School students are participating in a fundraiser which will raise money for student enrichment activities while honoring military veterans.

The fundraiser runs from Sept. 26-Oct. 10, with the goal for each student to sell four Honor-a-Vet or Sign-of-Support poster boards.

The more each student sells, the higher on the prize chart they go.

Overall, the school is aiming at bringing in $25,000.

The Honor-A-Vet poster boards will be displayed on the CMHS lawn the week of Veteran’s Day.

Meanwhile, the Sign-Of-Support, featuring a picture of your choosing, will be displayed throughout the hallways of the school all year long.

If you’d like to throw your support behind the fundraiser, there are several ways.

Students will be tracking down everyone they know, or you can also jump over to:

On that site, you can plug in a student’s name, so they get credit for your donation, or skip that step and participate simply as a community member.

Pick up a paddle and help support local students and teachers.

The Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools is hosting a pickleball fundraiser Oct. 19 at the CHS gym, with the proceeds going to help the group’s work in the classroom.

The foundation provides enrichment grants for teachers and scholarships for teachers, as well as funding the Promise Fund, which supports equity in education.

Whether you’re a pickleball pro or have never played, all skill levels are welcome.

“This is a social, a fundraiser, and a chance to get a little exercise while benefitting a great non-profit organization!” event organizer James Steller said. “We want everyone to have fun.”

There will be a category for people who consider themselves beginners or novices, with another category for those who “think they are a bit better or just OK.”

Each category is limited to 24 players, forming 12 teams.

The event will feature a round robin format, with 3-5 games guaranteed depending on how many people show up.

Lunch, snacks, and drinks will be sold, with a raffle and door prizes as well.

Don’t want to take the court yourself? You can still donate to the cause.

They’re pushing hard for the finish line, and you can help.

The Coupeville High School Class of 1974 celebrated its 50th reunion recently, and a fundraiser in honor of former teachers Jim and Linda Hosek is booming.

The drive, which is scheduled to wrap up Aug. 31, has raised more than $5,300 so far.

The plan is to issue a $2,000 scholarship honoring the Hoseks to a graduating member of the CHS Class of 2025, with the remaining money being dispersed by the Community Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools through its Promise Fund.

Jim and Linda Hosek

“The response has been humbling,” said Jennifer (Toth) Henning, a ’74 grad who has helped spearhead the fundraiser. “We want to finish strong.”

The Hoseks, who taught and coached for many years in the local community, both at Coupeville High School and Skagit Valley College, were hugely influential on their students.
