Coffee Hour Nov. 24th
Here's a quick photo from our coffee hour last Tuesday. Fun for everyone to see Paula Wilcox Brunn, here visiting from Colorado. If you weren't there, we missed you!

SW Roads update
I was out and about today in the blustery and rainy weather and I took a little tour of McGargile Road and the improvements that were made with Federal stimulus funds. The road was improved with sidewalks and paving to accommodate school busses coming to Evergreen School - see previous posts. If you haven't been to SW in a long time, Evergreen School is north and east of Cascade Middle School - they share playfields.
The road is narrower than I expected but that is probably because of properties owned on either side. But it looks nice. The road appears to be finished from Hwy 9 to Carter Road. Past that, on eastward toward the golf course and Fruitdale Road, it is still torn up with gravel and cones everywhere. No work going on - I'll have to find out if they're going to finish it this winter or what.
Below are some photos of the improvements and pending improvements, plus a photo of the Sedro-Woolley sign that is on Highway 20 - looking west.
In other news, Highway 20 is now closed for the winter.
More as it develops!

S-WHS Alma Mater
At the all-class picnic in July, copies of the words to our Alma Mater song were handed out so everyone could join in at the close of the day. Class of 71 has always sung this song, but it seems that some classes didn't know about it at all. Ed Hoyt provided the words from his mother's collected papers; Mary Newberg Hoyt graduated with Class of 1920:
S-WHS ALMA MATER
Here beside the Skagit River,stands our school so bold.
"Tis the royal Alma Mater
glo-rious to be-hold."
Chorus
Hail to thee O' Sedro-Woolley,
blue and white all hail.
Hail to thee our Alma Mater,
Sedro-Woolley hail!
We sing of Sedro-Woolley,
give a rousing cheer.
Raise in union our voices,
sounding far and near!
***
Well, not so much on substance, but great on spirit!
