SWHS All Class Picnic - a great day!

THANKS to EVERYONE who turned out for our annual All-Class Picnic and made it a BIG SUCCESS!!  AGAIN!!  This is a fun event that is also a fundraiser for the scholarship and classroom grant programs.  We love to give scholarships!  We love to fund classroom grants!  And YOU make it all possible.

Here are some photos from the day.  We hope you had so much fun that you will come back year after year and bring your class! 

Go Cubs!!

A warm welcome at Riverfront Park.

 

Barbara and Cindy are ready for the crowd!

 

 

We had wind!  So Brock did some last-minute

anchoring of the tents. 

After one of them kind of blew away...

 Barbara Thompson is in charge of all the action!

 

 

Lunch was delicious!

Thanks to Joy's Bakery

who caters for us every year!

 

 

 

Bill and Eloise are always at the picnic!

 

Class of 2018 represents!!

They helped with everything, including helping

individual CUBS with their meals

and finding their seats. 

THANKS to these great young CUBS!

 

The All-Class Picnic is the place

to meet up with friends!

 

 

 

 

Thanks to Keith Sorestad

Class of 1971

for sponsoring our

golf cart transports to and

from the parking lots!

 

 

These are hard-working members

of the committee!

 

 

 

So are these folks!

 

Making it possible for CUBS

of all ages to have a great time!

 

 

Brock Stiles, organization president

and Class of 1978,

was our master of ceremonies.

 

Barbara Thompson, Class of 1943,

is our intrepid picnic chair!

 

 

Finally, many classes bring their own small tents.

But the large tents in the common areas are

sponsored by the SIMS family,

in the tradition started by Vern Sims.

We truly appreciate this

generous contribution.

 

 

See you July 8, 2017.

Go CUBS!

Plant sale to benefit scholarships and classroom grants - was a BIG success!

THANK YOU to our lovely supporters who came in DROVES to buy geraniums, tomato plants, African violets, and begonias!  We had so much fun on a sunny Saturday morning and we know that local gardens and yards will be that much more BEAUTIFUL because of your support!

The Sedro-Woolley Alumni and Schools Foundation raises  money all year around for scholarships and classroom grants.  We're so grateful for those who care about CUBS and are willing to help our great cause.

Our next event and fund-raiser, as you know, is the All-Class Picnic on July 9th!

All-Class Picnic is coming soon!
 

The 18^th Annual All-Class Picnic at Riverfront Park is back to its traditional date, the first Saturday after July 4, which makes it July 9 this year.   

Gates open at noon.  Picnic lunch will be served at 1:00 p.m., again, catered by the popular Joy’s Bakery.  Choose barbecued chicken or deluxe burger.  Cost remains $15 per plate with advance reservations.  After July 1, cost is $20 per plate.

Classes who are thinking about putting up their own individual tents should contact Barbara Ward Thompson at 360-855-0293 as soon as possible to reserve space on the park grounds.  

 

We are grateful to the Sims family for continuing their dad, Vern’s, tradition of providing two 10’ x 20’ tents for shelter from the elements.   

 

Looking forward to a record-breaking turnout since last year’s merger of the Alumni Association and the Sedro-Woolley Schools Foundation!
