Register for junior cheer today

September 3, 2024 by David Svien

It’s their time in the spotlight.

Registration is open for Coupeville Elementary School students who want to be part of this year’s Junior Cheer program.

Run by the Spirit of Cheer Booster Club, the event brings together the next generation of Wolves with current CHS cheerleaders.

Practice days are held on four straight Thursdays (Sept. 19 and 26, and Oct. 3 and 10), with the group performance during Coupeville’s Oct. 11 home football game against South Whidbey.

Cost is $70 per child, with each participant receiving new pre-fluffed metallic poms and a sweatshirt.

Online registration closes Sept. 16 at 7:00 PM, or when they hit the limit of 100 junior cheerleaders.

We are family.

Like the Pittsburgh Pirates back in the ’70s, when they won a World Series while rockin’ out to the sounds of Sister Sledge, the Coupeville High School volleyball program is preaching togetherness.

The pics above and below come from the Wolves recent Unity Camp, a mix of sets, spikes, and team bonding experiences.

The Man comes around.

Lincoln Kelley is returning to the Coupeville School District after a stint in Oak Harbor and will be the new Career and Technical Education (CTE) teacher.

He replaces Chad Felgar, who resigned to accept a position in Mukilteo.

The hire was announced Friday by Coupeville High School Principal Geoff Kappes and will be official once approved by the school board.

“I am very excited to confirm Lincoln will be joining the CMHS team,” Kappes said. “I firmly believe he will do great things in this position.”

Kelley, whose sons Brandon and Lathom both graduated from CHS, previously worked in the maintenance department and coached track and field for Coupeville.

While working as an Automotive Instructor at OHHS, Lincoln was honored as Washington state’s 2023 SkillsUSA Adviser of the Year.

Paint it black (and red)

They’re claiming their territory.

With the first day of school fast approaching, some Coupeville seniors were out and about Thursday night, painting their parking spots in the CHS lot.

An annual tradition, the application of a roller brush to school asphalt is the surest sign fall is around the corner.

A tale as old as time, yet as fresh as a new coat of paint.

Ember Light gets creative.

Wolf coaches Craig Anderson (left) and Jon Roberts “monitor” the situation.

Mr. Merwine goes to Olympia

Charles Merwine

A new day, a new job.

Charles Merwine has added to his duties after being tabbed Thursday to be the new legislative representative for the Coupeville School Board.

He replaces Sherry Phay, who resigned from the board at the end of July.

With her departure, that opened up the legislative rep position a bit early.

Normally a two-year gig, it’s a role typically filled by Coupeville in odd years, meaning things will be revisited in late 2025.

Merwine, who is in his first term on the board, was nominated by fellow director Alison Perera, with the vote going 4-0 in favor of the move.

Prior to being voted in as a board member in 2023, Merwine was a teacher at Coupeville High School for nearly two decades.

After retiring, he worked as a part-time tech support employee for the district and has been actively involved with the Coupeville Schools Foundation, first as president, and now as its treasurer.

School board legislative reps are responsible for a number of things, from attending state-level meetings and workshops to meeting with lawmakers and “engaging in year-round advocacy efforts.”
