SHS Marketing students heading to Kentucky
Posted by | Comments
A trio of Steilacoom High School Marketing students is looking forward to a trip to Kentucky in April. They’re not going there, though, to investigate the finer aspects of horse racing.
These students: seniors Brittany Walker (above left) and Nolan Russell (above center) and junior Taylor Caluwe, all marketing management students, recently received the School-Based Enterprise (SBE) Gold Level Certification for 2010 for their Guidebook for operating the store.
Their project—a detailed manual about the school store’s operating procedures, covering a variety of topics including product ordering and inventorying procedures, earned them a spot at the upcoming International Career Development Conference, set for April 22-26, in Louisville. The detailed book ensures that anyone can follow the steps and operate a successful business.

Letter: The decision is in your hands
Posted by | CommentsBallots for the 2010 Steilacoom Historical School District Maintenance and Operations Levy soon will be arriving. Voters’ decisions must be postmarked no later than Feb. 9.
This Maintenance and Operations Levy provides approximately 20 percent of the funding for Steilacoom Historical School District No. 1. Because the State does not fully fund public education, approval of local levies is necessary to maintain district educational programs and facilities. The current Maintenance and Operations levy is not as new tax. It is a renewal of the current levy at a significantly lower rate.
This renewal rate is set to decrease from the current $2.57 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, to $2.18 per $1,000 by 2014. Your vote ensures the educational future of our children. For details about the 2010 Steilacoom Historical school district levy, please visit the website: www.SupportSHSDStudents.com.

It was a triple celebration on Dec. 26 at Steilacoom High School. The yearly holiday basketball game marked SHS coach Gary Wusterbarth’s 25th year of coaching at the school.
It also marked the 15th year for the post-holiday basketball game when SHS basketball alums return to prove they “still have it”—despite some players being away from competitive basketball for more than a few years.
The event began with a fashion show of sorts. Current high school students modeled men’s basketball uniforms worn throughout Coach Wusterbarth’s career at the school (above).
Before the court action began, “Wustie” introduced alumni players, some of whom traveled from as far away as Pennsylvania and Massachusetts to participate in the night’s contest. In the course of the action, athletes put on an impressive show of talent; playing two 20-minute halves.
