Port Angeles School District

Port Angeles teachers create a sense of safety and belonging for students, and we are SO grateful for the work they do.

SchoolNurses have been critical in improving public health and ensuring student academic success for more than 120 years!

Wearing red helps bring awareness to the history of the underestimated 5,712 cases of MMIWG reported in 2016. Out of the 5,712, the Department of Justice database only logged 116 of those cases.

Native American Indigenous women are murdered at a rate that is ten times the national average on some reservations and the 3rd leading cause of death among Native American Indigenous women. 84% of Native American Indigenous women experience some kind of violence in their lifetime.

Please join us on on May 5th by wearing red and bringing awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Cinco de Mayo, May 5, honors Mexico’s unlikely victory over France in the 1862 Battle of Puebla, where Mexican forces were largely outnumbered. While many lives were lost, the battle symbolized Mexican resistance, especially for the people of Puebla.

Today, the holiday is widely observed in the United States and celebrates Mexican American history, culture, heritage, and traditions in our communities.

Maiah Wynn

An award-winning singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Maiah Wynne delivers powerful and universally resonant lyrics with a hauntingly beautiful voice. Maiah’s current project is "Envy of None" with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Alex Lifeson of Rush, Juno Award winner Andy Curran and accomplished recording engineer/musician Alfio Annibalini. Their full album came out April 8th with Kscope Records and immediately charted in Canada, the US and the UK. Maiah identifies as queer and has a passion for social justice which drives much of her work. She often writes songs about underrepresented perspectives, facilitating healing, drawing much needed attention to critical issues, and raising funds for positive change. Maiah has donated time and funding to organizations including the Arts Fund Seattle, Black Resilience Fund, First Aid Arts, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women USA, the Misool Foundation, NAACP, UNCUT Youth Programs, and WaterWatch. “What made us fall for her even more was her drive to use her talents to make a difference.” (30A Magazine).

Henrik Bothe

Get ready to laugh once more to the physical comedy of Henrik Bothe. The Danish born Henrik has performed In four languages, 50 states, and 22 countries since 1984. He walks on ladders, spins ropes, juggles without using his hands, rides a too-high unicycle, walks with four legs and can even appear as a glowing alien - NeonMan. He's appeared on the Tonight Show, at Caesar's Palace, Europe's prestigious "Le Plus Grande Cabaret du Monde" and even A Prairie Home Companion, where Garrison Keillor exclaimed, "Henrik Is one of the few jugglers that have succeeded In performing on the radio.
