Friday Update      FROM THE OFFICE OF DR. GUAGLIANONE                        February 27, 2026

This week at Harrah Campus, 6th grade students proudly presented their Career Exploration Projects in the 5/6 Wing hallway, transforming the space into a vibrant showcase of future goals and aspirations. Students shared their research on careers of interest, highlighted the education and skills required, and explained why those paths inspire them. Staff and fellow students stopped by to listen, ask questions, and offer encouragement, creating an atmosphere of support and celebration. As part of the learning process, students also gathered valuable feedback from peers and staff to strengthen their presentations and deepen their understanding. They will have another opportunity to share their work with parents during conferences, continuing the important connection between learning at school and conversations at home. Experiences like this help students begin thinking intentionally about their futures while building confidence in communication, research, and goal-setting skills.	Our 9th grade students and families participated in an invaluable  "Be College Ready" workshop in partnership with the University of Washington GEAR UP program! During the session, students and families enjoyed a fun activity while learning essential skills to prepare for the college journey, including how to navigate financial aid, create professional emails, develop strong organization habits, and understand the FAFSA & FSA ID process. These foundational skills are critical for college success!	Harrah Campus recently hosted a joy-filled Student of the Month assembly, recognizing students for their hard work, positive behavior, and outstanding attitudes. The auditorium was filled with proud families as the principal and teachers called each honoree to the stage. Students beamed as they received certificates, while parents and guardians cheered and captured the special moments. A highlight of the event was a lively parent participation segment that brought energy and laughter to the celebration. Parents volunteered to answer trivia questions about the school and their children, and even took part in a lighthearted relay race that had the crowd smiling and cheering them on. The added fun made the assembly even more memorable and reinforced an important message: student success is strongest when school and family work together. Events like this continue to build a positive, connected culture at Harrah Campus—one where achievement is celebrated and community support is clearly visible.

Congratulations to our outstanding White Swan wrestlers who competed at the 2026 WIAA State Mat Classic! We're incredibly proud of Anthony Luton (2nd Place), Rainna Castilleja (3rd Place), Max Espindola (5th Place), and Miguel Tinoco (6th Place) for their exceptional performances on the state stage. These four wrestlers demonstrated remarkable hard work, dedication, and skill throughout the season and represented White Swan with excellence at regionals and state. Their commitment to the sport and to their teammates is an inspiration to our entire school community. Thank you for making us proud and for showing what it means to be a White Swan wrestler. 

Congratulations on an amazing season!
