Mollie is and exemplary student and athlete from Darrington Middle School who consistently demonstrates exceptional dedication both in and out of the classroom, and on and off the courts/fields where she competes. Her committment to excellence is evident in every endeavor she undertakes. Once committed, she consistently gives 100% effort and actively welcomes every challenge as an opportunity for growth. What sets her apart from some other excellent candidates is her remarkable character. She has remained kindhearted and helpful to others while maintaining an unwavering drive to continuously improve herself while helping those around her be the best they can be as well. Mollie embodies the qualities of a well-rounded student-athlete who not only excells in her pursuits, but also positively impacts those around her through her genuine compassion and leadership. I know she would be honored to represent Darrington Middle School and the Rotary Club of Arlington as a recipient of this award.

 Adrianna works hard in class and participates willingly every day. She isn't loud or attention-seeking, but she is absolutely a quiet leader. Someone who leads through her actions, consistency, and reliability. She's the kind of student who may not always be the most obvious, but she is always present and engaged. She is ASB Treasurer, Science Club co-president, and making a ton of progress in Physics. She shows strong school pride by going all in on spirit days (with gusto!) without ever being “in your face” about it. Over her time at DHS, Adri has really grown into a confident, dependable leader who sets a positive example for those around her.

Request for Voter Feedback

Dear Community Members:

We have received the results of this week’s levy election. While we hoped for a different outcome, the results indicate a need for further conversation and collaboration with the community.

In Washington State, we are allowed to run the levy two times per calendar year. On Tuesday, February 17th at 6:30pm the School Board will be holding a community meeting to discuss how the district should proceed. The district can run the levy again on April 28th or August 4th. In order to run another levy in April, the district has to file with the county by February 27th.

Please consider completing the anonymous survey at the link below to help district leadership understand the reasons why voters did not approve the levy and also to help us identify budget priorities moving forward.

We want to thank everyone who took the time to vote and participate in this important community decision. We hear the message from voters and we are committed to moving forward with transparency and fiscal responsibility.
