Hello Royal Families,

Happy spring! As the weather warms, we look forward to a busy season

filled with student learning, extra-curricular activities, sports, perfor-

mances, and so much more. In this edition, I wanted to highlight a few

of these upcoming events for your planning and preparations.

State Testing – Prior to each test we will be sending out notification, as well as in-

forming our students at school, who will be taking the scheduled tests. Students who

are not scheduled to take the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) will have late arri-

vals on the day of the test. Here are the dates for these upcoming assessments –

*SBA Math – May 20/21 *SBA ELA – May 22/23 *WCAS Science – May 29

Senior activities – Graduation will be on June 15 at 1:00 P.M. at Edmonds Stadium, rain

or shine. Please visit our website and see our graduation flier for all the important info

for this event. You can also contact our graduation coordinator, Melissa Travis

(travism@edmonds.wednet.edu) if you have questions about this event.

School Calendar – Snow make-up days have

been all scheduled and set. May 10th, which was

previously a non-student day, will be a normal

school day and our final day of school will be

extended June 26.

We appreciate all the support, encouragement,

and monitoring you are doing for your child.

This is definitely a season that, while they might

not show it, students need and will appreciate

us watching their grades and making sure they

have what they need to be successful.

Go, Royals!

Please congratulate our March CTE Student of Horticulture, Greta Mackie. She was

nominated by Linda Wilson who writes:

Greta is in my second period Environmental Horticulture class at Lynnwood High School. Upon first meeting Greta I sensed that she was a responsible, courteous individual, with a

true desire to learn. Greta throughout the year has demonstrated leadership skills beyond

her grade level. She is almost always the first person to participate in class discussions, or to lead classroom activities. Her comments on class material prove that she is an excellent

listener who is genuinely interested in the field of plant science. In addition, she’s never hesitated to volunteer when help is needed. She comes in to the classroom or greenhouse

almost daily, outside of class time, to work on independent projects.

Not only does Greta have a great attitude and a strong work ethic, but she is also well liked and respected by her peers. She has proven herself to be a kind, encouraging person to her

friends and acquaintances.

Another area where Greta has proven herself to be an effective leader is our Lynnwood High School FFA Club. She is currently serving as our Chapter President, and has encouraged other classmates to join

the club. In addition, she has taken on single handedly organization and planning of our club fundraisers.

CTE students of the month receive a $50 gift certificate and are honored by the Alderwood Terrace Rotary Club at its monthly breakfast.

Dear LHS Boys’ & Girls’ Golf Families, Friends & Supporters:

As a new golf season commences, we wanted to share with you our excitement in rebuilding our teams this year and to write how you can help support our cause of developing Junior Golfers to perform their best, both on the golf course and in the classroom. We have a dozen students that are new to golf. We are so excited to see this kids come out to try a new sport and represent Lynnwood in the best way they can. Where can you help? Our golf program at Lynnwood High School receives a limited amount of financial support from the district, but the funds fall short of the needs we have each season. During the golf season, our typical week requires funds to pay for our green fees (for practice rounds), driving range fees, gas for our team van, and even pay for our opponents at our home matches! In addition, we want to look sharp by wearing new gear and upgrading equipment! While the addition of new players is exciting, our challenge is great without adequate funds to support their learning and become competitive golfers. To maintain a quality golf program, we need to rely on the kindness of family, friends and local businesses, like you, to help support our golf program!

In teaching golf, we will strive to mentor our players in learning the skills and core values uniquely associated with this great game. Examples include: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, and perseverance. They are encouraged to maintain good grades, participate in community service and help support our program through fundraising. Last year, the Girls Golf team earned the WIAA Academic Achievement for the highest Team GPA in Washington (Golf - 3A classification)!

This is our biggest fundraiser, and we cannot survive without the generous support of our athletes’ families, friends, mentors and our Lynnwood community. It is our hope that with your generous donation, we can reach our goals and continue to offer a quality high school golf program. All contributions will go directly to our program. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated!

Thank you! ~Glenn Chinn (Girls Coach) and Jason Murphy (Boys Coach)

YES! I would like to support the LHS Royals Golf Program:

Registration for 2019-20

We’ve completed registration for all students. Con-

tact your student’s counselor if you have any ques-

tions or concerns.

Juniors – Class of 2020

In just a few months you will be seniors! Now is the

time to start making post-high school plans. Spring

break or this summer is a great time to make visits

to four-year, community & technical colleges, and

to start looking into various career training opportu-

nities. Look at the State Board for Washington Com-

munity and Technical Colleges at http://

www.sbctc.edu/ for career ideas that don’t take a

4-year degree.

Are you going to a 4 year university? Juniors should

plan on taking the SAT or the ACT toward the end

of their junior year. The next dates are May 4th or

June 1st (SAT) and June 8th or July 13th (ACT). Visit

the websites for dates and deadlines:

www.collegeboard.com for SAT and www.act.org

for ACT.

Running Start

Students who are planning to take courses at Ed-

monds Community College through Running Start

for Fall Quarter have until June 3rd to submit their

applications to EdCC and still have time to meet

with LHS counselors. If you wait to start the process

over summer break, you’ll have to wait until coun-

selors return in the fall to complete your registration.

Registration begins May 21st, so hurry to get the

classes you want. Be sure to choose your courses

from the Fall Class Schedule before making an ap-

pointment with your counselor for the verification

form.

Sophomores - Class of 2021

If you’re interested in taking Running Start courses

during your junior year, watch the Power Point

presentation on our website, attend an information

meeting, and apply to Edmonds Community Col-

lege soon!

Thinking of attending a 4-year university after

graduation? It’s never too early to start college

visits. Look on websites and take tours of cam-

puses to see if the college is a good fit for you.
