At Northwest Trek, Pride weekend will be visible throughout the park. Habitats will be decorated with rainbow colors as well as banners, paper chains and tissue paper accents representing communities within the LGBTQ+ spectrum. The decorations are not only festive for guests, they are also used as enrichment for the animals.

Eatonville School District Strengthens Lifesaving Readiness Through Partnership With Kids Heart Challenge

ALLISON BURSLEM

T

he Eatonville School District is proud to continue its long-standing partnership with the American Heart Association through the Kids Heart Challenge and American Heart Challenge programs.

For more than three decades, Eatonville students have participated in activities that promote heart health, physical wellness, and lifesaving education. This year, that partnership expanded even further with a districtwide effort focused on cardiac emergency preparedness and CPR education.

Working alongside the American Heart Association and supported by Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, Eatonville School District recently completed a yearlong project to develop comprehensive Cardiac Emergency Response Plans for all five schools in the district. These plans are designed to ensure schools are prepared to respond quickly and effectively in the event of a cardiac emergency on campus or at athletic facilities.

Cardiac arrest can happen unexpectedly to anyone,

KATIE COTTERILL - NORTHWEST TREK WILDLIFE PARK

orthwest Trek Wildlife Park will celebrate Pride with a two-day celebration that brings together wildlife, community and colorful animal enrichment in Eatonville.

The Pride celebration will take place June 6 and 7 from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Northwest Trek. Throughout the weekend, animals will receive rainbowthemed enrichment, including colorful ice treats, fruit skewers and habitat decorations designed to engage their senses and natural behaviors.

The event is part of a broader summer celebration at Northwest Trek and Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, both operated

by Parks Tacoma.

“Summer at Northwest Trek and Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium is all about bringing people together through shared

the Cheney Discovery Center. Visiting partners, including the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Northwest Trek Zookeepers Association, are expected to be on-site with information about wildlife, conservation and community support.

Animal programs will be scheduled throughout the weekend. On Saturday, guests can see badgers Poppy and Lavender during an 11:30 a.m. keeper chat, followed by bobcats Tanner and Tahoma at 1:30 p.m. On Sunday, skunks Marigold and Sundew will be featured at 11:30 a.m., followed by lynx Nuka and Omak at 1:30 p.m.

The event gives families and visitors a chance to experience Pride Month in a setting focused on nature and education.

Instead of a traditional parade or downtown festival, Northwest Trek’s celebration uses the park’s wildlife habitats, trails and natural surroundings as the backdrop.

For young visitors, the weekend also offers a chance to learn about animal care and enrichment. Enrichment activities help animals explore, problem-solve and interact with their environment. During Pride weekend, those activities will take on a rainbow theme while still supporting animal wellness.

The celebration continues later in June at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, which will host its own Pride weekend June 20 and 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

At Point Defiance, guests can join Pride Parades at 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. each day. Visitors are encouraged to dress in Pride colors and march through the zoo.

Stay Off the Tracks

R

ailroad activity is increasing along portions of the line near Eatonville, including areas near the Little Mashel River bridge and Boxcar bridge. Residents and visitors who walk, hike or explore in the area are being reminded that the tracks, bridges and surrounding right-of-way should not be used as trails.

The warning comes as Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad continues rebuilding and expanding its operations under Western Forest Industries Museum, the nonprofit organization that now owns and operates the historic railroad. The railroad, based in Elbe, has been working to restore equipment, improve track conditions and bring more activity back to the line.

The increased activity has renewed concerns about informal access along the railroad corridor, particularly in areas where people have used the tracks or bridges to reach nearby natural areas.

The Washington State Department of Transportation warns that railroad tracks are private property, not public trails, and that it is illegal and dangerous to walk on or near tracks unless using a designated crossing. WSDOT also reminds people that trains cannot stop quickly or swerve to avoid people or vehicles on the tracks.

The warning is especially relevant near Little Mashel Falls, where informal routes and varied land ownership can create confusion for visitors.

Washington Trails Association notes that the land surrounding the falls is owned by multiple entities, including the University of Washington, the Town of Eatonville and the City of Tacoma. WTA also specifically states that the railroad above Tom Tom Falls is strictly off limits.

Nearby Nisqually State Park is also currently closed for construction, with Washington State Parks advising visitors not to enter the park during the closure. The park closure adds another reminder for visitors to pay close attention to where they are walking and whether the route they are using is open to the public.

Railroad bridges are a particular concern. They are not designed for pedestrian use, and there may be limited space to move away from equipment if a train, vehicle or maintenance crew approaches.

Western Forest Industries Museum assumed ownership of Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad in 2022 after the former for-profit operator closed the attraction. According to the railroad, the line has carried more than 1.6 million passengers since 1980 and has long played a role in both local tourism and the preservation of railroad and logging history in southern Pierce County.

The railroad’s current operations include scenic train rides departing from Elbe, with additional restoration and expansion work continuing along the line. As that work progresses, residents are being asked to treat the railroad as active infrastructure rather than a trail or recreation area.

Anyone walking, hiking or exploring near the railroad corridor should stay clear of the tracks, bridges and railroad right-of-way. More information about Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad, train schedules and restoration work is available through the railroad and Western Forest Industries Museum.

Dear Savvy Senior.

My wife and I were recently talking about updating our will and wondered if we should also set up a trust. How do we know if we need one?

—Planning Ahead

depending on the estate and location.

You can use do-it-yourself options like Quicken WillMaker & Trust, Trust & Will or LegalZoom to save money, but they’re generally best for simple situations. If your finances or family circumstances are more complicated, hiring an attorney is usually worth the cost.

Dear Planning, hat’s an excellent question. A will is one of the most important tools in estate planning, but many people wonder if it’s enough, or if adding a trust makes sense. The answer depends on your finances, your family situation, and what you want your plan to accomplish. Here’s a simple way to think about it.

T

WHEN A TRUST MAKES SENSE You might benefit from a trust if you own real estate – especially in more than one state – want to avoid the costs and delays of probate or prefer to keep your estate matters private. It’s also helpful if you have a larger estate, a blended family, or want to ensure someone can manage your finances if you become incapacitated.

WHAT A WILL DOES A will spells out who gets your assets after you pass away. It also names an executor to carry out your wishes and can designate a guardian for minor children.

The downside is that a will must go through probate, which is the court process that validates it and oversees distribution. Probate can take months and, in many states, becomes part of the public record.

WHEN A WILL MAY BE ENOUGH If your estate is relatively small, your family situation is simple, and most of your assets already have named beneficiaries – like life insurance, IRAs, or bank accounts with pay-on-death or transfer-on-death designations – a will may be all you need. Some states also offer simplified probate for small estates, which can make the process quicker and cheaper.

You don’t need a trust just because you have a will. But if avoiding probate, protecting privacy, or managing assets during incapacity is important to you, a trust is worth considering.

Even a modest estate can benefit from a clear plan.

WHAT A TRUST ADDS A trust works a little differently.

A revocable living trust holds your assets during your lifetime and directs how they’ll be distributed after your death, without going through probate.

Unlike a will, it stays private and lets a successor trustee step in immediately if you can’t manage your finances, which is useful in cases of illness, injury, or dementia.

Trusts can also help with complicated family situations, like blended families or children with special needs, giving you more control over who gets what and when.

The biggest challenge is that you have to move your accounts and property into the trust yourself, which takes time and care. Most people who create a trust also keep a simple “pour-over will” to catch anything that wasn’t transferred.

Because trusts are more complex, they usually cost more than a will.

Attorneys typically charge $1,000 to $3,000 for a trust versus $300 to $1,200 for a will, although costs vary

GETTING HELP If you don’t already have an attorney, a good estate-planning professional can help figure out what’s right for you.

Two trusted resources are the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela.org) and the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (naepc. org), both of which let you search for local professionals.

Taking the time to put a plan in place, whether it’s a will, a trust, or both, can protect your loved ones, ease stress, and give you peace of mind now and in the future.

Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

Eatonville School District End-of-Year Community Newsletter Dear Eatonville Students, Families, Staff, and Community Members, s we close another remarkable school year, I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who makes the Eatonville School District such a special place to learn, work, and grow.

Over the past several years, our district has experienced tremendous momentum.

Eatonville continues to demonstrate what is possible when a community comes together around children.

A

CELEBRATING STUDENT SUCCESS

At the center of every decision we make are our students, and this year they continued to inspire us through their hard work, perseverance, leadership, and kindness.

Across the district, students excelled academically, athletically, artistically, and through service to others. From our youngest learners in elementary school to the graduating Class of 2026, Eatonville students demonstrated resilience, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.

Our graduates leave Eatonville prepared for college, apprenticeships, military service, careers, and future leadership roles.

We could not be prouder of all they have accomplished.

EATONVILLE SCHOOLS RECOGNIZED BY WASHINGTON STATE

One of the highlights of this school year was the recent recognition of three Eatonville schools through the Washington School Recognition Program for the past school year. This honor is awarded to a select group of schools across Washington demonstrating exceptional progress in student achievement and growth.

Eatonville Elementary School was recognized for Closing Gaps: Targeted & Growth for Students Receiving Special Education Services; Weyerhaeuser Elementary School was recognized for Growth for Students Receiving Special Education Services; and ESD New Beginnings was recognized for Growth for Students in One or More Racial or Ethnic Groups.

Together, these recognitions place Eatonville schools among approximately 16 percent of schools statewide to receive this distinction.

This recognition reflects the heart of Eatonville—dedicated staff, resilient students, and a shared commitment to ensuring every child grows and succeeds.

CELEBRATING THE OPENING OF ARROW LUMBER STADIUM AND B.W. LYON FIELD

On May 1, 2026, the Eatonville community gathered for one of the most historic and meaningful celebrations in recent district history—the official ribbon cutting of Arrow Lumber Stadium and B.W. Lyon Field.

The event brought together students, families, staff, elected officials, alumni, community partners, and local leaders to celebrate the completion of a project years in the making.

One particularly meaningful moment included the raising of the American flag by Isaac and Bailey using a flagpole donated by the Class of 2025.

This transformational project represents a total construction investment of approximately 7.5 million dollars, with the overall value exceeding 7.8 million dollars when accounting for donated services, partnerships, sponsorships, and in-kind contributions.

Most importantly, this project was completed without impacting classroom instruction, staffing, or educational programming through the district’s general fund.

The completion of Arrow Lumber Stadium and B.W. Lyon Field, along with the new scoreboard sponsored by Lightcurve, symbolizes far more than a new athletic complex. It represents community investment, student opportunity, school pride, and a shared commitment to the future of Eatonville.

LIFESAVING READINESS ACROSS EATONVILLE SCHOOLS

Another important milestone this year was the expansion of Eatonville School District’s long-standing partnership with

Supplies will be available to decorate wagons and strollers before the parade begins at the Picnic Pavilion. The route will end with a photo opportunity in the plaza.

Rainbow-themed animal enrichment will also appear throughout the zoo during the weekend.

Together, the two events offer families multiple ways to celebrate Pride Month while supporting local wildlife education and conservation.

Northwest Trek Wildlife Park is a 725-acre wildlife park dedicated to native Northwest animals, conservation and outdoor learning. The park is home to more than 40 species, including bison, elk, gray wolves, grizzly bears, eagles, bobcats, lynx and badgers.

Beyond Pride weekend, summer visitors can explore Kids’ Trek, ride the Discovery Tram Tour through the 435-acre Free-Roaming Area, or book added-cost experiences such as Wild Drive and Keeper Adventure Tours. But on June 6 and 7, the focus will be on Pride, community and the shared experience of celebrating wildlife in color.

The Northwest Trek Pride celebration is included with park admission.

including children and young athletes. According to the American Heart Association, an estimated 23,000 children under the age of 18 experience cardiac arrest outside of a hospital each year, with approximately 40% of those incidents related to sports activities. Immediate CPR and access to an automated external defibrillator (AED) can significantly increase survival rates.

The district’s new Cardiac Emergency Response Plans outline the exact steps staff and responders should take during an emergency. Each plan identifies trained response team members, confirms staff CPR training, ensures AEDs are accessible and maintained, and establishes communication procedures with local emergency medical services. Schools will also conduct regular drills and annual reviews to maintain readiness.

As part of this initiative, Eatonville School District

the American Heart Association through the Kids Heart Challenge and American Heart Challenge programs.

For more than three decades, Eatonville students have participated in activities promoting heart health, physical wellness, and lifesaving education. This year, that partnership grew even stronger through a districtwide effort focused on cardiac emergency preparedness and CPR education.

Working alongside the American Heart Association and supported by Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital, Eatonville School District completed a yearlong initiative to develop comprehensive Cardiac Emergency Response Plans for all five schools across the district. The plans include trained response team members, CPR-trained staff, accessible and regularly maintained AEDs, communication procedures with emergency responders, and regular emergency drills and annual readiness reviews.

As part of this initiative, Eatonville schools also received American Heart Association CPR in Schools® with First Aid Training Kits, allowing students to engage in hands-on lifesaving instruction.

This work reflects our continued commitment to creating safe, healthy learning environments while equipping students with real-world skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

A STRATEGIC VISION GUIDED BY COMMUNITY

One of the most important accomplishments in recent years has been the development and implementation of our Strategic Plan. Created with input from more than 1,500 students, staff, parents, and community members, this plan continues to guide every aspect of our work.

This shared vision focuses on empowering students, supporting staff, building strong community partnerships, expanding opportunities, and preparing students for lifelong success.

TRANSPORTATION RELIABILITY AND STUDENT SAFETY

Transportation has remained a major area of focus for our district, and thanks to the extraordinary dedication of our transportation department and staff, Eatonville has continued to provide safe and reliable transportation for students.

We recently surpassed more than 24 consecutive months without a canceled bus route—a remarkable accomplishment that reflects the hard work and commitment of our transportation team.

schools received American Heart Association CPR in Schools® with First Aid Training Kits. These mannequin kits have already been incorporated into student learning experiences across the district.

At Columbia Crest Academy, students recently participated in hands-on CPR training during PE classes in March 2026. Using the gym floor as their practice space, students worked with CPR mannequins to learn proper chest compression techniques and emergency response skills. The engaging, hands-on experience helped students build confidence while learning skills that could one day save a life.

The district is also expanding training opportunities for staff.

Eatonville School District plans to provide CPR-related training for all staff members during the district’s Welcome Back Staff Training Day on August 25, 2026. The goal is to ensure employees across every department are equipped with lifesaving knowledge and prepared to

PARTNERSHIPS STRENGTHENING OPPORTUNITIES

Eatonville’s success is strengthened by incredible partnerships throughout our community and region.

This year, local businesses, civic organizations, faith communities, nonprofits, state agencies, volunteers, and community leaders continued investing in our students in meaningful ways, supporting student learning opportunities, career-connected education, family engagement events, staff appreciation efforts, facility improvements, tutoring and intervention programs, nutrition and wellness initiatives, scholarships, and extracurricular programs.

GRATITUDE FOR OUR STAFF

No recognition of this school year would be complete without acknowledging the extraordinary employees of the Eatonville School District.

To our teachers, paraeducators, office professionals, custodians, maintenance staff, transportation team, nutrition services employees, coaches, substitutes, administrators, and support staff—thank you.

Your professionalism, compassion, and dedication make a profound difference in the lives of students every single day. You are the heart of our district.

LOOKING AHEAD

As we prepare for the 2026–2027 school year, we do so with optimism, momentum, and a continued commitment to excellence.

Together, we will continue focusing on academic achievement and growth, student safety and well-being, strong family and community partnerships, future-ready learning opportunities, responsible innovation and technology integration, stewardship of district resources, and creating schools where every student is known, valued, and supported.

Wishing You a Wonderful Summer As summer begins, I hope our students, staff, and families enjoy a season filled with rest, joy, and meaningful time together.

Thank you for your continued trust, support, and partnership with Eatonville schools. It is truly an honor to serve this extraordinary community.

We are Eatonville Strong!

Eatonville School District plans to make its CPR mannequin kits available for use by local community groups and organizations as needed, helping expand access to lifesaving training opportunities across the Eatonville community.

Superintendent Jay Brower emphasized the importance of

preparing both students and staff for emergencies.

“Our schools are truly community hubs,” said Brower.

“Whether families are attending a football game, a school play, or a community event, we want them to know our campuses are prepared. We have plans in place for earthquakes and severe weather, and now we have strengthened our readiness for cardiac emergencies as well. Our goal is to empower students, staff, and community members with the knowledge and confidence to respond when every second matters.”

The completion of the districtwide cardiac emergency preparedness project was celebrated during Eatonville Community Day on May 1, 2026.

Eatonville School District remains committed to creating safe, healthy learning environments while equipping students with real-world skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

By Skip Smith Taylor Johnson already knew what it felt like to stand at the top of the podium at the state championships. She had done it twice before. But when the Eatonville High School senior walked away from the 2026 WIAA State Track and Field Championships at Mt. Tahoma High School this weekend, she did it as a four-time state champion, and with a performance in the javelin she had never matched before.

Johnson, who competes in the 2A Girls Ambulatory division, won back-to-back state titles in the discus with a throw of 58 feet, 2 inches Friday, improving on her 2025 championship mark of 52 feet, 2 inches by a full six feet. She then added her first-ever state title in the javelin with a personal-best throw of 40 feet, 6 inches, winning two of the three ambulatory throwing events and cementing a legacy that head coach Geoff Olsen said is unlike anything he has seen.

“She is an amazing young lady that has come out of her shell” “She is an amazing young lady that has come out of her shell,” Olsen said. “She really works hard and never quits. She has overcome some major obstacles in her life and now she is a four-time state champion and no one can take that away from her. She is such an inspiration to all athletes. I am so proud of her and her accomplishments and I am so thankful I was able to be a small part of it.”

Johnson also finished second in the shot put at 17 feet, 5-3/4 inches, the same measurement that earned her the state title in that event in 2025, and placed fifth in the 100-meter dash with a time of 26.12 seconds, giving her four top-five finishes across the three-day meet.

The javelin title held particular meaning for Johnson, who competed in the event for the first time this season.

“I’m proud of Javelin because it is my first year,” Johnson said. “Discus feels great.”

Johnson credited an extensive support system with helping her reach this point, saying the people around her made the difference.

“The coaches helping me and the competition,” she said, when asked what her favorite part of competing in the throwing events has been.

When asked who helped her get to this point, Johnson did not hesitate to share credit.

“Coach Ryan, Coach Mr. and Mrs. Potter, Coach Reed, Miss Sara, Mason, Mom, Dad and Gammie for all the support,” she said.

When asked what she wanted people to know about her journey to the state championships, her answer was straightforward.

“All the hard work to get today,” she said.

Johnson’s state career began in 2025, when she won the shot put title at 17 feet, 5-3/4 inches and the discus title at 52 feet, 2 inches. Her four combined state championships across two seasons place her among the most decorated athletes in Eatonville program history.

Several Eatonville boys competitors also made the trip to Mt. Tahoma and delivered strong performances across multiple events.

Jarrin Ragazzo turned in the top finish among the Cruiser boys, placing sixth in the javelin with a throw of 167 feet, 3 inches.

Eatonville’s Taylor Johnson Wins Back-to-Back Discus Title, Adds Javelin Crown to Become Four-Time State Champion

Eatonville’s Taylor Johnson stands atop the podium after capturing the 2A Girls Ambulatory Javelin state title at the WIAA State Track and Field Championships at Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma. Johnson won the event with a personal-best throw of 40 feet, 6 inches in her first year competing in the javelin.

Sophomore Mason Kinley competed in both the discus and shot put. He threw 120 feet, 1 inch in the discus to finish 13th and in the shot put had a throw of 43 feet, 2 inches for a 17th-place result.

David McClain cleared 5 feet, 8 inches in the high jump, placing 18th in the field.

Steven Haas tied his personal best in the pole vault, clearing 11 feet on his way to an 18th-place finish.

The 2026 WIAA State Track and Field Championships were held May 28-30 at Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma.
