Business is booming for Coupeville students pursuing diverse educational opportunities.

Working through SkillsUSA, and guided by teacher Lincoln Kelley, a group of Wolves spent a chunk of January showcasing their abilities to judges.

“I am so grateful for everything I gained from this sport.”

Alysia Burdge is the third Wolf cheerleader in her family, following in the footsteps of older sisters Kylie and Kiara, and she’s been front and center in the sport since the first day she was eligible to join.

Friday night the youngest Burdge was joined by four fellow veterans, as they were celebrated on Senior Night at halftime of the CHS boys’ basketball game.

As they exited, the spirit leaders made their positive feelings known.

“I grew up with a love and idealization for being a cheerleader,” Ember Light said. “And am so grateful that I got to spend high school being one.”

Two cheers for the Coupeville Lions Club Students of the Quarter.

Both Pamela Morrell and Makenna Jonker-Chambers are key members of the CHS spirit squad, while also being top-notch students and community members.

The Lions Club honors two Wolf seniors each academic quarter, before picking its Students of the Year at graduation time.

Morrell and Jonker-Chambers, honored Jan. 13, are being tabbed for their efforts during the second academic quarter of the school year.

CHS staff and teachers vote on the awards, with students honored for “community service, effort, character, social relationships, scholarship, and sportsmanship.”

Along with her work as a cheerleader, Jonker-Chambers is on the Executive Board, a member of the National Honor Society, and a participant in the school’s Captain’s Club.

The daughter of Amy Jonker and Donald Chambers pulls down a 3.8 GPA, with her favorite classes including math, biology, and health careers.

Jonker-Chambers, who volunteers as a tutor and with a vacation bible school, plans to attend a four-year university, followed by medical school, with a focus on radiology.

Pamela Morrell

Pamela Morrell, daughter of Jennifer and Frank Morell, is a busy bee, devoting time to the Leo’s Club while also participating in numerous parades.

She works at Kapaw’s Ice Cream and Apple Orchard Daycare.

Carrying a GPA of 3.88, she enjoys her English and sports medicine classes, while balancing cheer, theater, the Captain’s Club, the Sports Medicine Club, and Skills USA.

A member of the National Honor Society, Morrell plans to attend Whatcom Community College, with plans to later transfer to Western Washington University.

The season was a success.

While a return trip to state evaded the Coupeville High School competition cheer squad this season, the Wolves left it all on the mat.

An appearance at the Last Chance Qualifier in Yelm Saturday brought an end to the run for CHS, but coach Jennifer Morrell exited with head held high.

“We did not qualify for state this year, but we learned a lot,” she said.

“They are already planning next year’s routine.”

Coupeville, a small school competing against much larger institutions, beat the other 2B team in its category both of the last two weeks.

Saturday that was Chief Leschi, while last week it was Forks.

The Wolves also had wins over bigger schools this year, including knocking off 2A Kingston in December.
