Saddle up—this teacher appreciation is all week long!
In true cowboy fashion, our teachers show up, work hard, and take care of their herd. They build strong roots in our community while helping students ride toward big horizons ahead. Exposing students to the world outside the classroom is a memorable way to inspire and awaken their minds.
Thank you TIana Hawn and all our teachers for being steady hands and big-hearted leaders for our kids. 🌾🐎 #DeepRootsBroadHorizons

Behind every confident student is a teacher who believed in them first.
Our educators don’t just teach content—they build relationships, spark curiosity, and create opportunities that shape lives. That’s the heart of Deep Roots, Broad Horizons—grounding students in who they are, while helping them imagine who they can become. Josette Mendoza and Kristen Johnson have inspired many students through their work with the award winning Robotics Team. We’re so grateful for all our fabulous teachers. 💙

Celebrating a Legacy of Care
For nearly two decades, Chimacum has been home to something truly special—the first School-Based Health Center in Jefferson County!
What started as a “what if” has become a cornerstone of care for our students, providing medical, mental health, and wellness support right where kids are—at school.
This year alone, the SBHC served 77 students through 219 visits, with nearly a third of our high school students accessing care. Even more powerful, 79% of students received mental health screenings—helping us support students early and often.
We are incredibly grateful to our partners at Jefferson County Public Health, Jefferson Healthcare, and our dedicated SBHC team for making this work possible. This is what it looks like when a community wraps around its kids. https://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/1298/Chimacum-School-Based-Health-Clinic
What makes Chimacum special? It’s our Deep Roots Broad Horizons commitment to students!
As we plan for the next school year, we are navigating rising costs in areas like insurance and utilities. To stay on stable footing, we are making some adjustments, including staff reductions primarily through attrition and reassignments.
Even with these challenges, our priorities are clear. We are protecting the programs that support student engagement and help our families thrive, including:
- Early Learning & Transition to Kindergarten
- Career and Technical Education (CTE)
- The Arts and College Credit opportunities
We are committed to handling these transitions with care and transparency while maintaining small class sizes and robust opportunities for every student.

Chimacum Students Travel to State HOSA Leadership Conference - Nine Chimacum students recently traveled to Spokane to attend the State HOSA Spring Leadership Conference, joining more than 3,600 students from across Washington to explore careers in healthcare through hands-on workshops, leadership activities, and competitive events. (HOSA is Future Health Professionals, formerly Health Occupations Students of America). The trip was one more part of Chimacum’s expanding Career and Technical Education (CTE) programming, which is designed to connect classroom learning with real-world career pathways that are critical to the future of Jefferson County. Chimacum HOSA advisor Tyler Walcheff said. “Students were able to explore many different areas of healthcare and learn directly from professionals and university instructors. Students attended anatomy labs, pharmaceutical science sessions, suturing labs, emergency response training, forensic science simulations, physical therapy demonstrations, and bioengineering presentations. It offered a chance to connect classroom learning with the real-world careers that will shape the future of community healthcare. “Experiences like this help students see themselves in these professions,” Walcheff said. “It’s exciting to watch them begin to imagine the impact they could have right here in our community.”

Thank You, PUD Team!
We want to extend a huge thank you to the PUD crew for spending their Saturday helping to clean and refresh the Chimacum Creek Primary playground!
Their hard work made a big difference — the team pressure washed the playground equipment, tables, benches, and concrete, removed rocks, and raked gravel to make the area safer and more inviting for our students.
We’re so grateful for your time, effort, and community spirit. The playground looks amazing, and our students will love it!
