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.”

The new Coupeville High School track and field facilities saw its first multi-team meet action Thursday, as the Wolves welcomed four other schools to town.

While results haven’t been posted yet, we have some photos to take your mind off that matter.

They come to us courtesy John Fisken, who ambled down to Cow Town before heading off to vacation.

It was a quiet Friday, until a parade went and broke out.

Keeping alive the revived tradition of having a big, dramatic Homecoming parade wend its ways through town before the big game, Coupeville High School got festive in the sunshine.

Snapping away for those of us who weren’t there was rovin’ camera man John Fisken, who provides us with the pics above.

P.S. — Game time is 5:30 PM tonight at Mickey Clark Field. Beat Chimacum and the Wolves clinch a playoff berth.

It’s official. Stone is fast.

Now we can talk about times and throws and who placed where.

Or, we can just bask in the glow of some pretty freakin’ awesome pics snapped at the Olympic League track and field championships by our resident Diet Coke-guzzlin’ lens man, John Fisken.

You’re not even reading these words, are you?

Fine, get yourself back to Eileen Stone droppin’ side eye, photo bombs goin’ off everywhere and the glory that is Jared Helmstadter’s socks.
