Sedro-Woolley High School Alumni - welcome!

Welcome to the official web site of the Sedro-Woolley High School Alumni Association!

Please plan to be part of our group and part of the fun! Watch this blog for more information about all of the S-WHSAA activities.

The S-WHSAA is a 501(c)3 organization whose main purpose is to award Vocational Scholarships to S-WHS grads. We have awarded over 50 scholarships since 1996 and have increased the amount of the award to $1500 each (from $1000). We fund-raise through the year by:


• Selling items at the Fall Bazaar (usually the first Saturday in November

at the S-W Senior Center)
• Selling geraniums in the spring (for 2010 the date is May 1)
• Selling tickets for door prizes at the All-Class picnic (2nd Saturday in July).
• Accepting cash donations (including memorial and celebratory donations).

Current rates for membership in the Association are $10 per year and Life Membership is $100. Membership dues are used for the expenses of the organization.

We publish a mailed newsletter and are transitioning to an e’mail version for those members who prefer the soft copy. Our mailing list is currently for 4500 newsletters. Current paid membership is 394 (as of March 24, 2010).

The Association is ready to make other changes and enhancements to increase membership and ensure that we can continue awarding Vocational Scholarships. But we need active participation from more class members like you!

Here’s what you can do:

• Join the Association. Membership year is from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. So if you send in membership dues, be sure to specify the membership year you are paying for. Some people send in dues for more than one year at a time. See below. Attend meetings and work on a committee or two to ensure the continuing success of the Picnic and the Scholarship Program.

• When sending in your dues, feel free to include a donation for scholarships!

• Donate items for the Fall Bazaar and/or come and shop at the Bazaar. The November date will be announced; Fall Bazaar is at the Senior Center in Sedro-Woolley.

• Buy some geraniums in the spring from the Association.

• Donate a door prize for the All-Class Picnic.

• Attend the All-Class Picnic next July at Riverfront Park in S-W. Sit with your class! And mingle! 2010 date is July 10th – prepay $15 per person for chicken or hamburger entrĂ©e.

  4. Sorry, couldn't remember; '55 or '56. Sorry about the missing "r" also. Fingers aren't as fluit as they were back in Miss Meiser's class.

    Tell Larry I said "Hi." If he doesn't remember me it's because I was just a kid to him probably. I was a good friend of two of his good friends; Pat & Mike Rogers.
