Superintendent Newsletter — October 2026 Dear Eatonville Staff, Parents, and Community Members, We Are Off and Running in the 2026–27 School Year! am excited to share that we have had a smooth and productive beginning to the 2026–27 school year. We are now serving more than 2,000 fantastic students! Thanks to the meticulous planning and hard work of our dedicated staff throughout the summer and into early fall, our school year is shaping up to be another year of outstanding achievement and positive experiences for our students. Our progress toward our strategic plan goals is also supported by the fact that we now have more than 34 months without a bus cancellation! This means our students can get to school every day, on time and ready to begin their day on a positive note. Very few school districts can match our success with transportation. I want to extend my sincere appreciation to the members of our transportation department for their extraordinary dedication to our students, parents, and community. They work incredibly hard every day to make sure our students get where they need to be safely and reliably. Thank you!

Our Emphasis Is on Academic Success and Preparing Students for Life As I have stated previously, our focus will continue to be on academic success. This emphasis will never change. We are putting additional supports in place to help ensure greater achievement in both Mathematics and English Language Arts. At the same time, we are placing an added emphasis on another important goal within our strategic plan: preparing students for life. This means doing an even better job of connecting our schools with local businesses,

Staff Report
L
ast week’s earthquake gave Western Washington an unscheduled earthquake drill. At 2:05 p.m. Sept. 29, a magnitude 4.2 earthquake struck about 4 miles westnorthwest of Wauna, near Gig Harbor. The quake originated
nearly 17 miles underground and generated thousands of reports from people who felt the shaking around the region. It was enough to rattle buildings, nerves and perhaps a few objects on shelves, but it also came at a particularly useful time. The Great Washington ShakeOut is Oct. 15, when
people across the state will practice what to do when the next earthquake arrives. Last week’s quake was the pop quiz. Now there is time to study.

Drop onto your hands and knees, Cover your head and neck, and Hold on under something sturdy until shaking stops. If no shelter is nearby, crawl next to an interior wall (away from windows). Do not go outside during shaking! One of the most dangerous places to be is near an exterior wall of a building.
Drop, Cover, and Hold on. Keep in mind that laboratories and other settings may require special safety considerations.
IN A WHEELCHAIR/ WITH A WALKER Lock your wheels, Cover your head and neck, and Hold on until the shaking stops.
to remember: Drop, Cover and Hold On. Drop onto your hands and knees so the shaking doesn’t knock you over. Cover your head and neck and, if possible, get beneath a sturdy table or desk. Hold onto it until the shaking stops.

Trolls: a Field Study by Thomas Dambo Opens Oct. 15 Northwest Trek Wildlife Park
T
his fall, the forests and pathways of Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium and Northwest Trek Wildlife Park will become the stomping grounds for giants. Beginning Oct. 15, guests can step into TROLLS: A Field Study, an immersive outdoor art experience featuring 12 towering troll sculptures hidden throughout the landscapes of both parks- making them the first locations in the Pacific Northwest to host these larger-than-life trolls. Set among towering evergreens, winding trails, and native wildlife habitats, the exhibition transforms the Northwest scenery into a whimsical world where folklore, nature, and imagination collide. Created by internationally acclaimed Danish artist Thomas Dambo and produced by Imagine, the towering trolls arrive with a curious mission: to study humans and better understand the strange, creative, and complicated world we’ve built. Constructed from reclaimed materials including fallen branches, scrap wood,

Thank You, Devoted Parents and Dedicated Staff Members! I also want to thank our parents for the sacrifices they make every day to help their children get to school on time and prepared to learn. Our parents are great partners, and they are vital to the success of our students and our school district. Finally, I want to thank every member of our staff for dedicating their lives to the success and well-being of our students and to the success of our community. I know how much time, energy, and heart our staff members give to our students each and every day. I am honored to be counted among this strong team of educators.
The Ground Just Moved. Now What?
pallets, and twigs, each sculpture carries its own personality and story, led by the fearless and inquisitive troll leader, Taks. As guests explore the two sister zoos, they’ll encounter trolls tucked into forested corners, peering over pathways, and blending into the natural surroundings in ways that feel uniquely at home. At Northwest Trek, the exhibition complements the park’s immersive wildlife landscapes and deep connection to nature, while at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium, the trolls add an unexpected layer of wonder to the already vibrant gardens, forests,
and animal habitats. More than an art installation, TROLLS: A Field Study encourages guests to slow down, explore outdoors, and see the environment through a new lens. By transforming discarded materials into monumental works of art, the exhibition also highlights themes of sustainability, creativity, and environmental stewardship, inspiring guests to rethink what we throw away and rediscover beauty in the natural world around us.

Dear Savvy Senior, My mother has several chronic health conditions and needs a home caregiver to help with daily activities. I know she wants to stay at home as long as possible, but how do I know when it’s time to consider an assisted living facility or nursing home? —Exhausted Daughter
M
Dear Exhausted, ost older adults hope to remain in their own home as long as possible, and with the right support many can. But there may come a point when home care is no longer enough to meet a person’s medical, safety or social needs. While moving to an assisted living facility or nursing home is never easy, recognizing the warning signs early can help you avoid a crisis and make the transition less stressful. If you answer “yes” to several of the following questions, it may be time to start exploring other care options.
Grow Your Business with Weekly Advertising • Low weekly rates • Flexible ad sizes • No ad? Don't worry! We can make it for you!
IS HOME CARE BECOMING TOO EXPENSIVE?
Eight to 10 hours of care a day, seven days a week, can easily cost $100,000 a year or more. That’s well above the median annual cost of a one-bedroom assisted living apartment (about $70,000), though still less than a private room in a nursing home (about $128,000), according to Genworth’s Cost of Care Survey.

DOES SHE NEED MORE MEDICAL CARE?
If your mother needs ongoing nursing care or frequent medical monitoring, a nursing home may be the better choice. If she mainly needs help with daily activities, assisted living may be enough.

DOES SHE HAVE DEMENTIA?
Wandering, confusion or unsafe behaviors can make home care increasingly difficult. Memory care communities provide a secure environment and specially trained staff.
IS HER HOME STILL SAFE?
Stairs, narrow bathrooms and the lack of features like grab bars or a walkin shower can increase the risk of falls. Home modifications may help, but they aren’t always enough. DOES IT TAKE TWO PEOPLE TO HELP HER?
If she needs two people to assist with transfers, bathing or toileting, both the cost and safety risks of home care rise significantly. IS SHE ISOLATED OR NEGLECTING PERSONAL CARE?
Loneliness, poor nutrition, weight loss, or neglecting bathing and grooming can all signal that she needs more support than can realistically be provided at home. IS CAREGIVING OVERWHELMING?
If you’re constantly worried, sleepdeprived or neglecting your own health, it may be time to consider a higher level of care. Planning ahead gives your family more choices and helps avoid making an important decision during a medical emergency. Keep in mind that Medicare generally doesn’t pay for long term stays in assisted living or nursing homes. It only covers limited skilled nursing care after a qualifying hospital stay. Understanding what Medicare covers and what it doesn’t can help you avoid costly surprises. If you’re unsure what level of care your mother needs, an Aging Life Care professional (aginglifecare.org) can assess her situation and recommend appropriate options. An initial assessment can cost $300 to $800 or more. You can also use a senior care advising service like A Place for Mom (aplaceformom.com), which provides free guidance because it is compensated by participating care communities. To research facilities, visit Caring.com. For Medicare-certified nursing homes, use Medicare’s Care Compare tool at Medicare.gov/care-compare. You can also contact your local long-term care ombudsman (ltcombudsman.org) to learn about complaints or quality concerns involving facilities you’re considering. The best time to choose a care community is before a crisis forces the decision, giving your mother more choices and your family greater peace of mind. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

Notes from the Eatonville Town Council September 28th
T
he Eatonville Town Council met Sept. 28, approving the transfer of a former pump-house building, an amendment to the town’s long-term power agreement and hearing an update on the search for a new police chief. All five councilmembers were present.
PUMP-HOUSE TRANSFER APPROVED
The council approved the transfer of a former townowned pump-house building at 351 Madison Ave. S. to Tibeer Investments LLC, resolving an issue postponed at its Sept. 14 meeting. The building sits on property already owned by Tibeer and has an estimated fair market value of $1,600. 092826_2026MM Under Resolution 2026-MM, Tibeer will receive the building without a cash payment and accept it as-is, assuming responsibility for its maintenance, repair,
security, code compliance and any eventual removal or demolition. The company will also release and indemnify the town from future claims related to the property. The town determined that transferring those responsibilities represents adequate consideration for the building’s value.
continue seeking a lateral officer. Pasted markdown Asked later whether the decision was related to the candidate’s qualifications, McFadden said it was not. She declined to provide further details, saying she was uncertain what information she was permitted to disclose.
POLICE CHIEF INTERVIEWS SCHEDULED
The council approved an amendment to Eatonville’s long-term power sales agreement with the Bonneville Power Administration without discussion. Pasted markdown Eatonville signed the underlying agreement in October 2025 for power deliveries beginning Oct. 1, 2028, and continuing through Sept. 30, 2044. The amendment adds and revises provisions governing BPA Resource Support Services, including services that may apply when utilities use qualifying generating resources.
Eatonville has two candidates for its vacant police chief position, with interviews scheduled for Oct. 6, Mayor Emily McFadden told the council. The update comes two weeks after McFadden reported that the town’s initial recruitment had produced no applicants and the position would be reposted. McFadden also said the town decided not to offer a position to the lateral police officer candidate who had been moving through the hiring process. The town will

If you have an idea, a contact, or a resource that could help us provide these opportunities for our students, please reach out to me. Together, we can help our students discover their potential and prepare for successful futures. School Improvement Plans for Each Building Growing up, I often heard my father say, “If we fail to plan, we must plan to fail.” I have found this to be true throughout my 42-year career in public education. We are constantly striving to improve our practices through careful and comprehensive planning. Each of our schools has developed a school improvement plan that is aligned with our district strategic plan. These plans are available on our district website for our community to review. You can also hear more about them during our School Board Study Session on October 14 at 7:00 p.m. at the District Office. Each of our principals will share the plan they developed with their staff for this school year. I invite you to attend this meeting, either in person or virtually, to learn more about the work taking place in each of our schools. What Makes Eatonville Special I want to end this newsletter by sharing something special that happened on 9/11—something that I believe truly makes Eatonville stand out. Before the band played the Star-Spangled Banner at our EHS football game in our new stadium, we observed a moment of silence to honor those who lost their lives and to stand with their families. The anthem was followed by a formation flyover performed by four local pilots as a tribute to

those we remember and as a heartfelt thank you to our first responders and members of the Armed Forces for their courage, sacrifice, and dedicated service. Following that emotional moment, I began hearing comments from people in the stands: “We live in the coolest community in America.” “I love our small town.” “The flyover brought me to tears and made me proud to live in Eatonville and to be an American.” “The band sounded like they were from a university.” “The moment of silence reminded me of how we all came together to support each other in a time of need.” My wife was in the stands that evening and captured a video of the flyover with our EHS band playing the Star-Spangled Banner in the background. I sent the video to Allison Burslem, our amazing PIO, who worked her magic and shared it on social media. It went viral. As of today, that powerful moment of patriotism and small-town unity has been viewed more than 215,000 times. That means more than 200,000 people have now heard our EHS band, seen our beautiful new stadium with Mount Rainier in the background, watched our football team stand respectfully for our National Anthem, and experienced a small glimpse of the pride, patriotism, and unity that make our Eatonville community so special. I am incredibly proud to be part of this community. We are Eatonville Strong! Jay Brower Superintendent Eatonville School District

Chopic’s Stoppage-Time Strike Lifts Lady Cruisers Past Franklin Pierce By Skip Smith
W
HEATHER QUIRIE
ith the match seconds away from ending in a draw, the Eatonville Lady Cruisers had one more push left in them. Mila Behrendt found Ryleigh Chopic in stoppage time, and Chopic buried the chance to give Eatonville a dramatic 2-1 road victory over the Franklin Pierce Cardinals. It was a fitting finish to a match the Cruisers had led for most of the night, only to see Franklin Pierce pull even in the 72nd minute. After Wednesday’s scheduled home match against Clover Park was postponed when referees did not show, Eatonville hit the road later in the week looking to make the most of its lone match. The Cruisers wasted little time getting their offense going. In the seventh minute, Kalli Olsen delivered a well-placed throw-in that found Behrendt, who finished the opportunity to give Eatonville an early 1-0 advantage. Franklin Pierce responded and put pressure on the Cruisers, but Eatonville’s defense held firm throughout the remainder of the opening half. Goalkeeper Savannah McCandless turned away two Franklin Pierce shots as the Cruisers carried their 1-0 advantage into halftime.
The match tightened considerably after the break, with both teams battling for control and Eatonville trying to protect its one-goal advantage. Franklin Pierce finally found the equalizer in the 72nd minute, pulling even at 1-1 and setting up a frantic finish. The Lady Cruisers, however, weren’t content to settle for a draw. Eatonville continued pushing forward in search of the game-winner, and the Cruisers’ persistence paid off in stoppage time. Behrendt, who scored Eatonville’s first goal, found Chopic with an opportunity to win it. Chopic buried the chance, putting the Cruisers back in front 2-1 and touching off a late celebration. Franklin Pierce had little time to respond before the final whistle, sending Eatonville home with a hard-earned league victory. For Behrendt, it was a night in which she had a hand in both Eatonville goals, scoring the first and assisting on Chopic’s gamewinner. Olsen added the assist on Behrendt’s opening goal, while the Cruisers’ defense did enough to preserve the victory. Eatonville will return home Tuesday, Oct. 6, to renew its rivalry with the Orting Cardinals at 7 p.m. The Lady Cruisers will then hit the road Thursday, Oct. 8, to take on the Washington Patriots at 7 p.m.
Eatonville’s Ryleigh Chopic battles a pair of Steilacoom defenders for possession during a match earlier this season. Chopic provided the heroics for the Lady Cruisers this past week, scoring the game-winning goal in stoppage time off an assist from Mila Behrendt to lift Eatonville to a dramatic 2-1 road victory over Franklin Pierce.
Cruiser Defense Finishes Strong in Loss to Fife By Skip Smith
E
atonville’s defense delivered a strong second-half response Thursday night at home, shutting out Fife over the final two quarters, but the Cruisers ultimately could not overcome a difficult first half in a 28-7 loss. For the second straight week, Eatonville struggled to sustain drives after striking first. Fife used its Wing-T rushing attack and a defensive touchdown to build a three-score halftime lead. The loss dropped Eatonville to 3-2 overall and 1-2 in 2A South Puget Sound League play. Things looked promising early. Eatonville overcame a holding penalty before quarterback Cole Fowler floated a pass over a Fife defender that Jacob Simons pulled down in the end zone for a 19-yard touchdown. Colton Christenson’s extra point gave the Cruisers a 7-0
lead with 10:44 remaining in the first quarter. Fife answered with a 57-yard drive, capped by quarterback Benjamin Stevens’ 7-yard touchdown run. The extra point tied the game at 7 with 8:24 left in the opening quarter. Stevens struck again on Fife’s next possession, breaking several tackles on a 43-yard touchdown run to complete an 85-yard drive. The missed extra point kept Eatonville within 13-7. Eatonville was stopped on fourth down at the Fife 41. The Trojans then leaned on their running game, with Peapea Puletu finishing a 59-yard drive on an 8-yard touchdown. The 2-point conversion extended the lead to 21-7 with 9:28 left in the half. Eatonville’s defense created an opportunity when Liam Becker recovered a Fife fumble at the Cruiser 31. Trying to provide a spark, Eatonville attempted a halfback pass, but John Spencer intercepted it and

ive hundredths of a second separated Reece Olsen from a place in Eatonville High School’s record book Thursday. The freshman swam the 100-yard butterfly in 1 minute, 7.91 seconds, breaking Amber Frederick’s 1998 mark of 1:07.96 and erasing the school’s oldest standing swim record. “The big excitement came in the 100 Fly, when freshman Reece Olsen beat Eatonville High School’s oldest standing swim record,” Head Coach Andrea Stammen said. Olsen’s performance capped a two-win week for the Cruisers, who edged Steilacoom 85-84 on Tuesday before dominating Thursday’s meet against the combined team of Foss, Washington and Franklin Pierce. “The team had a very tight meet against Steilacoom on Tuesday, winning by only one point!” Stammen said. Olsen won the 200 individual medley and 100
breaststroke against the Sentinels, while sophomore Clara Forsman took the 100 freestyle. Senior captain Lily Hays added a victory in the 100 backstroke. Eatonville also won the 200 freestyle relay behind sophomores Grace King, Riley Frey and Forsman, along with Olsen. Each victory helped the Cruisers squeeze past Steilacoom in a meet with little room for error. Thursday’s meet brought a more comfortable result. Eatonville won every event except the 500 freestyle and swept the top three places in several races. The Cruisers finished with 124 points, followed by Washington with 17, Foss with seven and Franklin Pierce with four. Olsen provided the week’s lasting highlight, lowering a record that had stood for 28 years by just five hundredths of a second. Next up, Eatonville hosts the Fife Trojans on Tuesday, Oct. 6, and the Puyallup Vikings on Thursday, Oct. 8.

returned it 32 yards for a touchdown, pushing Fife’s lead to 28-7 with 3:46 remaining before halftime. The Cruiser defense responded before the break. Fife drove inside the Eatonville 5, but Eatonville stopped the Trojans at the 2 as time expired. That effort carried into the second half, when the Cruisers repeatedly forced Fife to punt and kept the Trojans off the scoreboard. One of Eatonville’s best chances came when Jameson Beckord recovered a muffed Fife punt at the Trojans’ 42. The Cruisers drove to the 25 before the possession ended on downs. Fife later missed a 40yard field-goal attempt. Eatonville finished with 170 yards of total offense. The Cruisers gained 172 yards through the air but were held to minus-2 rushing yards on 13 attempts. Fowler completed 16 of 33 passes for 172 yards and a touchdown. Amari Samuel led Eatonville with five catches for 58 yards, while Herbrand added three receptions for 53 yards. Simons caught two passes for 25 yards, including Eatonville’s touchdown. He also punted five times for 175 yards, averaging 35 yards per attempt. Trenton Prater added two catches for 20 yards, while Sam Kralik had two receptions for 10 yards. While the offense will look to regain the rhythm it showed during Eatonville’s 3-0 start, the second-half shutout gave the Cruisers something positive to build on heading into an important stretch of league play. Eatonville needs a strong finish, along with some help around the league, to remain in the postseason hunt. The top four teams in the 2A SPSL advance, while one at-large berth will be awarded to the better fifth-place finisher from the SPSL and Olympic League. The Cruisers will look to get back on track when they travel to Lakewood to face Clover Park on Friday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. The Timberwolves enter the matchup following a 41-0 loss to Washington.
Olsen Breaks 28-YearOld Record as Cruiser Swimmers Sweep Week

annah Bieker led the Eatonville girls cross country team to a firstplace finish Tuesday, Sept. 29, winning the individual race as the Cruisers topped the team standings in a 2A South Puget Sound League meet at Arrow Lumber Stadium. Bieker, a senior, finished in 21 minutes, 43 seconds, while teammate Jenny Lowe placed second in 22:09. Their one-two finish helped Eatonville score 23 points, topping Fife’s 33. Tymbre Green added a fifthplace finish in 24:34, while Eden Amaidon was eighth in 26:35. The Eatonville boys finished second in the team standings with 36 points behind Fife’s 23. Senior Titus Lowe earned an individual victory for the Cruisers, finishing in 18:26, 44 seconds ahead of Fife’s Owen Yee. Stephen Patton added a fourth-place finish in 19:45.

DOUBLES SWEEP LIFTS CRUISERS PAST FRANKLIN PIERCE Eatonville’s doubles teams delivered all three victories Friday, Oct. 2, helping the Cruiser boys tennis team defeat Franklin Pierce 3-2 and finish a competitive week on a high note. Jacob Golding and Jackson Rockey won 6-4, 6-1 at No. 1 doubles, while Blake Pool and Carter Belcher rallied from a first-set loss to win 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 at No. 2. Holden Hetland and Carsten Massier completed the doubles sweep with a 6-0, 6-4 victory at No. 3. “I am very proud of our doubles teams in this match,” coach Maryann Baker said. “We have been working on strategies to set up winning points and to develop systems to maintain our mental toughness.” The victory came two days after Eatonville dropped a narrow 3-2 match to Clover Park. Will Fulmer and Nate Diamond earned the Cruisers’ two wins in singles. Eatonville hosts Fife on Monday, Oct. 5, and Steilacoom on Thursday, Oct. 8.
START WITH WATER
Preparing for a major earthquake doesn’t require purchasing an enormous prepackaged survival kit. Start with water. Washington officials recommend preparing to be self-sufficient for at least two weeks, including storing one gallon of water per person per day. For one person, that’s 14 gallons. For a family of four, it’s 56 gallons. And don’t forget pets. Then build up a two-week supply of foods that don’t require refrigeration and can be prepared with limited water or cooking. Remember the manual can opener if the emergency menu involves canned food.
THINK BEYOND FOOD
An emergency kit should also include flashlights, batteries, a battery-powered or handcrank radio, first-aid supplies, sanitation items, chargers, copies of important documents and some cash in small denominations. Medication deserves particular attention. Pierce County’s preparedness guidance recommends working toward a 14-day supply of medications and necessary medical equipment, including spare batteries for hearing aids and other assistive devices. Sturdy shoes and work gloves are surprisingly important additions. Earthquakes can scatter broken glass and debris across a house. Keeping shoes, gloves

and a flashlight near the bed means a middleof-the-night earthquake doesn’t have to be followed by a barefoot journey through whatever just fell off the shelves. Pierce County has specifically recommended an under-the-bed kit for that reason. Your house is part of the emergency kit Preparedness isn’t only about what goes into a plastic storage bin. Look around each room for things that could fall. Bookcases, televisions and tall furniture can be secured. Heavy objects can be moved from high shelves. Don’t store something heavy enough to injure you directly above the bed. Know where utility shutoffs are located, too. After an earthquake, Washington guidance recommends checking the building for damage. Gas should be shut off if you smell gas, hear hissing or see indications of a leak, rather than automatically shutting it off after every earthquake.
MAKE A PLAN FOR PEOPLE, TOO
Phones may be unreliable after a major disaster. Choose an out-of-area contact whom everyone in the household knows to call or message. Decide where family members will meet if home isn’t accessible. Keep contact information somewhere besides a phone. Check on neighbors afterward, particularly older adults and people with disabilities, and reserve 911 for life-threatening emergencies. The goal isn’t to become perfectly prepared by Oct. 15. Buy some water this week. Put shoes and a flashlight under the bed. Secure the bookcase next weekend. Add extra food and medications as you’re able. Make a family plan. Washington Emergency Management specifically promotes gradual preparedness because getting ready for two weeks doesn’t have to happen in one expensive shopping trip. Last week’s magnitude 4.2 earthquake was relatively modest. The next one might not be. On Oct. 15, everyone gets another practice run. This time, fortunately, the shaking is scheduled.
