FIELD DAY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month
Communication disorders—which include speech, language, and hearing difficulties—are among the most common disorders that school-aged children experience. Left unaddressed, they can significantly affect a child’s academic success. You can learn more about communication disorders and how speech-language pathologists help at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) website.

Free Summer Meals available
Good nutrition is essential for effective learning every day — all year long. Just as learning does not end when school lets out, neither does the need for good nutrition. Summer meal programs help children get the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow throughout the summer months.
The Stanwood-Camano School District is again offering its free Summer Food Service Program for all children ages 18 and younger. The program is open to all families and doesn’t ask for any paperwork — kids can just drop in and grab a meal.
The summer meal program will be offered Monday through Friday at the following locations:
Twin City Elementary (26211 72nd Ave. NW, Stanwood, WA 98292)
- Dates: June 24 - August 23
- Breakfast: 8:30 a.m. - 10 a.m.
- Lunch: 10:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
Stanwood High School (7400 272nd Ave. NW, Stanwood, WA 98292)
Dates: July 29 - August 23
Breakfast: 8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
Lunch: 10:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
This federally-funded program is sponsored by many organizations throughout our state. Children may participate in summer meals programs outside of their communities.
To find a site near you, please use a Summer Meals Locator at nokidhungry.org or text "food" or "comida" to 304-304.
In addition, the Stanwood-Camano Food Bank is offering food for all families with school-aged youth, beginning June 19.
This Summer Food Program will offer a rotating menu of staple items to help supplement food needs for kids while school is out of session.
Families can pick up Summer Food at the Stanwood-Camano Food Bank from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Wednesdays and from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays.
