Coupeville High School students got to experience a unique take on life Thursday morning.

Disability rights advocates and YouTube stars Shane and Hannah Burcaw offered a presentation “recognizing the power of humor in improving lives.”

Shane Burcaw, who was born with spinal muscular atrophy, launched a blog in 2011 to share his life experiences.

He and his cousin Sarah later started an organization called Laughing at My Nightmare, which “enhances the quality of life for individuals with disabilities by offering free adaptive and medical equipment, assistive technology, and access to higher education.”

Burcaw and his wife also have a popular YouTube channel, “Squirmy and Grubs.”

Thursday’s assembly was part of the 2025 Trudy Sundberg Lecture Series for high school students, sponsored by Sno-Isle Libraries.

Using their spotlight for good.

With a major Naval air base stationed on it, Whidbey Island is home to many military families.

While Oak Harbor has the largest collection of students with families in the armed forces, Coupeville has its fair share.

This year CHS came big in its support, holding a Veteran’s Day assembly, and producing the video seen below.

She has been the warm, welcoming face of Coupeville Schools for almost a quarter century.

But now that is changing, as Eileen Stone has tendered her resignation, effective Jan. 6.

Stone, whose children Andre and Makana both graduated from CHS, has worked in the district for 24 years and is currently employed as the registrar.

She and husband Josh both graduated from Oak Harbor High School.

As she prepares to exit from the frontlines, Stone, among the kindest and most beloved employees in the district, offered her own thanks.

“It has been a pleasure to have had the opportunity of volunteering and working in all capacities of this school district with such amazing individuals that I have developed forever friendships,” she said.

“I will always hold Coupeville Elementary, Middle, and High School close to my heart and look forward to and hope to continue being a part of this school community.”

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.
