The Stanwood-Camano School Board awarded two students a Shining Star honor during the regular board meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025.
Elger Bay Elementary School’s Ruby Bacon was presented with the Shining Star award from Principal Kimberly Caldwell.
Cedarhome Elementary School’s Zachary Barker was presented with the Shining Star award from teachers Diana Laws and Carlina Fiordilino.
Congratulations Ruby and Zachary!
As part of the Board’s consent agenda that was approved, the district will ask voters to approve a Safety and Infrastructure levy on Feb. 10. Please visit our new levy webpage for much more about the levy.
The Board also heard a Maintenance Update from Maintenance Manager Kevin Cruse, a Student and District Safety Report from Superintendent Ryan Ovenell, and the October Enrollment Report also from Ryan Ovenell.
Superintendent Ryan Ovenell also read a proclamation from Governor Bob Ferguson recognizing October 2025 as National Principals Month in Washington. The proclamation honors principals and assistant principals for their leadership, commitment to student success, and service to their school communities — acknowledging the critical role they play in ensuring safe, high-quality education for every child.
The board also received three donations:
- $339.20 from the Stanwood Elementary School PTO to cover the transportation costs for the Stanwood Elementary School field trip to Western Washington University.
- $1,800 from various community members in support of the Stanwood High School Future Business Leaders of America to be used for art competition awards and supplies.
- $100 from Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories to support Math and Science activities at Stanwood Middle School.
Two citizens spoke during the public comment period.
