The legendary Central Whidbey Co-Op Preschool is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, and it needs your help to make things special.

The school has planned a silent auction fundraiser for Saturday, Feb. 27, called “Co-Op Kids, Wine & Bids.”

The adults-only event will be held at the Coupeville Rec Hall from 6-9 PM and admission is $10.

Hors d’oeuvre and wine will be served and Lisa Toomey and Tishia Malone will provide the musical entertainment.

As they head towards the event, organizers are seeking donations for the auction.

In particular, they’re hoping that Co-Op alumni will join the effort, giving back to the school which helped shape them as young children.

The auction will include physical items as well as unique “experience based” auction items.

An example of the latter is former Coupeville High School baseball star Ben Etzell, who is currently playing college ball in Minnesota, is offering a “Batting Cage with Benjamin” experience.

All donations are tax deductible, as the school is a 501(c) non-profit.

If you’re interested in donating items or experiences for the auction, text or call Kristi Etzell (360-320-3910) or email her at simplesis01@yahoo.com.

To make financial donations or buy tickets to the event (pre-orders get a complimentary ticket in a raffle which will be held that night) pop over to the Co-Op’s website:

Dance till your toes drop off, for the kids.

Far From Normal and owner Cindy Van Dyk are hosting a fundraiser dance Saturday, Feb. 6 to raise funds for the Foundation for Coupeville Public Schools.

The event will be held at the Coupeville Rec Hall from 8-11 PM, with classic rock provided by Mojo Filter.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased at the door.

Beer, wine and soft drinks will be available for sale, as well, should the dancing parch you.

The Foundation has spent the past 20 years working to help give Coupeville students and teachers an extra measure of support.

It has funded many opportunities for students, including visits to Padilla Bay Marine Science Center, the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, and sailing to Sucia Island on the Cutty Sark.

This year one of the grants issued by the Foundation will go to fund an artist-in-residence who will work with CMS and CHS art students.

Ten days until things get real.

Alumni from Coupeville, Oak Harbor and South Whidbey are expected for the annual Tom Roehl Roundball Classic, set for Dec. 26 from 10:30-6:00 in the Coupeville High School gym.

The event raises money for scholarships given to local students by the foundation run by the legendary former coach’s family.

Roehl was an assistant football coach at CHS and helped run the Central Whidbey Youth Athletic Association for two decades before his passing in 2003.

The tourney has six teams currently registered, with at least two more on the cusp of joining the fray.

Red Pride (anchored by Mike Vaughn and Scott Stuurmans), The Coupeville Cows (featuring a collection of Shermans and Bagbys) and Central Ballers (led by CHS boys’ JV basketball coach Dustin Van Velkinburgh) will all be returning.

Tourney director Noah Roehl has also pulled together two coups.

The first is the return of Pete Petrov, standout former Wolf point guard, who is returning to make his tourney debut with the Red Pride.

Will it be enough to lift Red Pride back into the title picture?

After winning three straight titles, the Pride fell last year, with the Cows, led by tourney MVP Jason Bagby, beating the Central Ballers in the final.

The second coup is getting a team of relatively younger players to take a chance on making a run at the “old school” legends who have held court the last couple years.

The new squad, made up of players from 2010-2015, will feature Joel and Tim Walstad, among others.

The tourney will kick off with seeding play at 10:30, with the tournament round set tentatively for 2 and the championship game at 4:45.

A popular three-point shooting contest, which debuted last year, will go between the opening rounds.

The Round-Ball Classic helps to fund two scholarships, one which goes to a CHS grad and one to a graduate from South Whidbey High School.

Community support is provided by Harada Physical Therapy, Island Periodontics, Cascade Custom Homes, Jason Joiner with Windermere Commercial and DCG Engineering.

Admission to the tourney is free, but donations may be made to help the foundation’s work.

Be a pal to Wolf Buddies!!

Just the facts.

Just the facts.

Work out and help little kids.

Coupeville High School’s volleyball and football squads are helping to put on a fundraiser Aug. 17 which will raise money to help with the Wolf Buddies program.

That program, restarted by CHS volleyball coach Breanne Smedley last season, teams up elementary school kids with high school athletes, during the school day and at games.

The fundraiser, called WOD With The Wolves, will be hosted by CrossFit in Oak Harbor.

WOD, or Workout of the Day, will be geared towards a “fun, high-energy team format workout that can be scaled to any fitness level.”

“All are welcome!,” Smedley said.

There is no charge to attend, but donations will be accepted at the door on the day of the event or through a PayPal account.

If you are planning to take part in WOD With The Wolves, RSVP to breannesmedley@coupeville.k12.wa.us.

To donate through PayPal, jump over to:
