Shadle Park HS Students, Families, and Community,

This past week and weekend have brought with it some great news to celebrate as a school community!

Boys Cross-Country Team: A big congratulations to our Boys Cross-Country Team for their outstanding performance at the WIAA 2A State Cross-Country Meet. They showed incredible determination and teamwork, placing 6th in the state led by Becks Bird who placed 23rd overall!

Football Team: Our Football Team dominated their crossover game against Ellensburg High School, winning with a score of 28-6. It's a testament to their hard work throughout the season in which they finished with an overall 8-2 record.

Girls Volleyball Team: Our Girls Volleyball Team, after successfully claiming the 2A GSL Championship this past Monday, qualified for the 2A State Tournament at this weekend's District Tournament! They will open the State Tournament this Friday at 12:45pm taking on Tumwater at the Sun Dome in Yakima.

We'd like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Booster Club for their unwavering support and for hosting an amazing Craft Fair. It's been a wonderful event for our community, and we appreciate all the hard work that went into making it a success. Additionally, don't forget that the Craft Fair is open to the public through 3:00pm today, so if you haven't had the chance to visit yet, you still have an opportunity to explore the incredible crafts and enjoy the community spirit!

Here is to continuing to show our support for our outstanding athletes and teams, and celebrating their remarkable achievements together as a community!

Sincerely,

Chris Dunn

Principal, Shadle Park HS
