Showing support for the military community.

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.

They’ve set big goals.

Coupeville Middle and High School students are participating in a fundraiser which will raise money for student enrichment activities while honoring military veterans.

The fundraiser runs from Sept. 26-Oct. 10, with the goal for each student to sell four Honor-a-Vet or Sign-of-Support poster boards.

The more each student sells, the higher on the prize chart they go.

Overall, the school is aiming at bringing in $25,000.

The Honor-A-Vet poster boards will be displayed on the CMHS lawn the week of Veteran’s Day.

Meanwhile, the Sign-Of-Support, featuring a picture of your choosing, will be displayed throughout the hallways of the school all year long.

If you’d like to throw your support behind the fundraiser, there are several ways.

Students will be tracking down everyone they know, or you can also jump over to:

https://igiv.org/support/coupe24/get-started/

On that site, you can plug in a student’s name, so they get credit for your donation, or skip that step and participate simply as a community member.
