Enumclaw High School FFA
All Students Achieving at High Levels
A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend an assembly at
Enumclaw High School where students who were running for an ASB
office were giving their speeches. There were two individuals, Ryan and
Cole, running for President. I am sure we can all remember speeches of
candidates running for office when we were in high school and phrases like
“more assemblies” or “longer lunches,” etc. that now make us chuckle.
These speeches, however, were very different from what I have heard in the past.
Ryan chose not to stand behind the podium, but instead took the microphone and went
toward the crowd. His message was one of rallying his classmates to join him around creating a
culture of kindness and leaving a legacy for others to follow. He asked the audience if they were
at The Kettle having breakfast 20 years from now, what would their reflective conversation be
about attending Enumclaw High School? Would it be meaningful? Would they feel like the year
2011 – 2012 was the beginning of something great … a legacy?
Enumclaw High School took 19 students with 2 steers, 6 lambs, and 17 hogs to the Spring Fair.
All of the students won blue ribbons and some brought home rosettes and trophies!
Cody Hebrank won Novice Grand Champion Showman for Swine. John Lanting won Novice
Reserve Grand Champion Showman for Swine. Rebecca Blake won Novice Grand Champion
Showman for Lambs. There were several class champions as well. Samantha Lanting won a special
Walt Bergman Inspirational Award for excellence in academics and involvement in the chapter
year round! This year was the first year Enumclaw has had lambs in quite some time. Five students
entered lambs and dominated in showmanship!
EHS also took home Best of Division awards for Ag Mechanics work (Brooke Richardson
and Russell Horton’s swing bench) and Educational Displays (Samantha Lanting’s tri-fold display
on Dairy Nutrition) and our Ag Issues team won best out of five teams (Holly Norton, Russell
Horton, Trevor Wilson, Rachel Davis, Amanda Cooper, Sam Haney, and Brooke Richardson).
Congratulations to the Enumclaw High School FFA Team and their teachers, Amy Morrison
and Mark Berryhill! Great job …
Cole said, “I love you” to the gym full of students. He chose not to speak for a few
seconds and there was a slight murmur in the audience. He then explained, this was not the kind
of love where he would want to kiss each one of them or hold their hand, but it was the kind
of love that demonstrated how much he cared for them and how he wanted their high school
experience to be a positive and meaningful one. If elected, he would work toward that end.
Both candidates had a strong and confident presence. Both candidates knew their audience
and had an uncanny ability to know when to stop and pause to add more emphasis to their
message. Both candidates cared deeply about their school and their classmates.
I believe you and I have a common desire in wanting our school district to be one of strong
academics and rigor. I believe we also want our school district to be one of strong values and
character. I believe we want a culture of kindness and compassion .... helping to lead each other
to greater success than we can see in ourselves. We have the opportunity and ability to nudge and
support each other and our 4200+ students to this greater success by our words and actions. It
was obvious that our students, Ryan and Cole, have this desire, too.
In partnership with you,

Enumclaw Choir in New York
Enumclaw Choir Program Storms the Streets of New York!
This year, 2010-2011, a group of 60+ people jumped aboard a plane and explored the
land that is NEW YORK! The group is Enumclaw’s own High School Concert Choir. These
ecstatic students got a once in a lifetime opportunity to see monumental parts of history
and perform in various world renown venues.
At 2 o’clock in the morning, these students set off on their journey and arrived at JFK in
New York around noon. The choir
had only minutes to check in and get
settled into the “The Manhattan”,
which was where the choir stayed,
and the activities began!
In the course of 5 days, Enumclaw
Concert Choir toured all of New
York. From experiencing the backstage of Radio City, to learning the
history of Carnegie Hall, the choir entered the stage door to the big apple!
The choir was fortunate enough to see shows all down the street of Broadway! Shows
such as Lion King the Musical, Cappriccio (a German Opera), and Billy Elliott the Musical!
Also, the choir rented a studio in downtown New York, and a Broadway performer from
“the Addams Family; the Musical”, taught the opening number to the choir!
Enumclaw High School Concert Choir performed in such places as St. Bartholomew
Cathedral, Carnegie Hall, and the Statue of Liberty!
The choir was able to see some very famous places in New York. Places such as Strawberry Fields in Central Park, Times Square, touring Ground Zero, Wall Street and F.A.O
Schwartz.
The High School Concert Choir had an amazing and unforgettable time in the grand city
of New York. We worked hard to afford the trip and in the end, it was well worth it! Thank
you everyone who supported us in this trip of a life time!
