The vibrant colors, rich traditions, and joyful spirit were on full display as students came together to celebrate at El Velero and Sakai!

Across both campuses, students had the opportunity to enjoy colorful face painting 🎨, get creative with arts and crafts ✂️, and share in some traditional, delicious food 🌮. It was a wonderful way for our school community to honor and learn about this beautiful holiday.

Thank you to all the amazing volunteers, staff, and students who helped make these celebrations so special, lively, and meaningful. ¡Muchas gracias! ❤️✨

📸 Highlights from last week’s STEM Like Me event at Commodore! Huge thanks to the WA STEM Network for connecting our Odyssey and Mosaic 7/8 students with real STEM professionals.

Students learned from an Aviation Director, the Carpenters Union, and Loan Officers through awesome hands-on activities. They engineered marshmallow catapults 🔨, competed in a custom paper airplane contest ✈️, and played interactive finance games to learn about loans 💰!

What a fantastic kickoff to Thursday night's Bainbridge Island School District Board meeting, The Woodward Way in Action! We were thrilled to feature our Woodward ASB officers as the "Students at the Center."

A huge shoutout to Mattea Drovdahl, Sarah DeJong, JR Leanderson, Skylar Richardson, and Townsend Tibbals for doing an incredible job representing their peers.

During the meeting, we got to watch an episode of Wake Up Woodward, play a fun game that connected us right back to our middle school days, and hear all about their clubs, activities, goals, and plans to make every student feel more connected at school.

Their overarching mission was perfectly captured by a quote from Co-Spirit Captain Ruby Dennison: “My goal is to build a school culture where it’s cool to be kind, inclusive, and ridiculously spirited.” Way to lead by example, Woodward ASB! 💚

Last week's Try-a-Trade event at the Kitsap Fairgrounds was a huge success! 🛠️⚓ Hosted by Olympic College, many BISD students got hands-on with skilled trades and maritime careers.

From operating real equipment and testing out safety gear to networking with trade unions and employers, the next generation explored direct pathways to apprenticeships and entry-level jobs. Thank you to the industry pros who helped inspire our future workforce! 🚢👷‍♀️

From a sea of orange to engaging assemblies and collaborative art projects, yesterday’s Unity Day was filled with genuine moments of connection across the district. We spent the day reinforcing a powerful lesson for our students: we are a community that looks out for one another and always lifts each other up. 🧡
