Really proud to see our students stepping up, sharing their voices, and helping shape the kind of school they want to be part of.

We are excited to introduce our 2025–2026 Student Leadership Team at Olympic Middle School! 🎉

This group is made up of both 5th and 6th grade students, with one representative from each class. Our goal is to empower student voice 🗣️giving them a meaningful role in helping us continue to improve an already amazing school ⭐

At our first meeting, students shared thoughtful ideas about what it means to feel heard and how even small changes can have a big impact 💡 We’re excited to partner with them as they grow as leaders and help shape the OMS experience for all students 🙌

We’re proud of this group and looking forward to the work ahead! 💙

We’re so proud to invest in our students and in the future of our amazing Shelton community! THANK YOU!

Thank you again, Shelton Community! We are still celebrating your decision to continue investing in our students by passing the levy. Your support demonstrates how deeply this community believes in its children and their future.

The passing of our levy is truly a lifesaver. It enables us to continue providing essential programs, such as athletics, clubs, and vital student supports like nursing services, counseling, and security. Your vote to continue funding the Shelton School District, an award-winning school district for literacy, will help buffer cuts facing K-12 education in Washington State.

As the legislative session concluded, State Superintendent Chris Reykdal expressed serious concerns about the impact of these statewide reductions:

The Legislature has not fully funded the state’s paramount duty since 2019, but sadly, they embraced the Governor’s proposed cuts to education. This budget makes harmful reductions to programs that directly serve students—reductions that are likely to impact students identified as low-income the most.

The budget also cut planned increases to Local Effort Assistance (LEA), a program that primarily supports small, rural school districts without equitable access to local levy funds. These cuts will add another layer of distress to school district budgets.

We did it! The levy passed!

This didn’t happen because of one person or one group, it happened because so many people showed up and cared. Thank you to staff and students, sign wavers, those who attended levy meetings, those who donated, students who spoke at board meetings, community members, staff, and parents who shared testimonies, those who helped correct misinformation, everyone who spread the word about the good work happening in our district, and every single person who voted YES.

The real work continues, and we are proud to keep moving forward alongside all of you to support our schools, staff, and students.

Thank you.
