We’ve designed our district and school pages to be an informal, quick information source about our school district. We welcome participation and look forward to interacting with people through this channel. We want the experience to be as positive as possible for all of us. So here are some simple and, we think fair, guidelines for participation. We will delete personal attacks, inappropriate remarks or profanity on our page. Our pages are about the Snohomish School District or a particular district school, so let’s keep the conversation focused on that. Business plugs, personal issues, political banter all have a place on Facebook - just not on our particular pages. Avoid spamming. Posting the same or very similar comments repeatedly, flooding posts with excessive comments, or sharing unrelated links and promotional material is considered spam. Spam disrupts the conversation and may be hidden or removed to maintain a positive space for all users. Be involved. We welcome your feedback on our postings, and we hope you’ll comment when something grabs your attention. If you have ideas on what you’d like to see included on our page, we would love to hear from you. And we hope you will encourage others with a passion for education to find us and follow us here on Facebook. It’s best to contact principals, teachers, staff members or the school board privately. Our pages will share lots of information but won’t be equipped to forward messages to particular people.

Meet Centennial Middle School student support advocate Chynna Gibbs!

• How many years have you worked in education? This is my fifth year working in a school setting. Before joining the district, I worked as a child and family therapist in an intensive outpatient program serving Snohomish County. In that role, I supported children and their families navigating complex mental health and social-emotional challenges. That experience really shaped my passion for supporting children and adolescents and continues to guide the work I do in schools today.

• How long have you worked in the Snohomish School District and what is your role? I’ve been with the Snohomish School District since May 2021 and currently serve as the Student Support Advocate at Centennial Middle School. My favorite part of my role is building genuine connections with students and families and helping remove barriers that can impact a student’s success. I especially love being able to connect families with resources and basic needs support. It’s incredibly rewarding work, and I feel lucky to build relationships with so many amazing students, families, and staff each day.

• What would others be surprised to learn about you? People might be surprised to learn that I love playing pickleball competitively. It’s become one of my favorite outlets, and it’s introduced me to an incredible sense of community. It’s also something I enjoy to do with my mom…who is, unfortunately better, than me!

• What was your dream job when you were a kid? When I was younger, I really wanted to be a firefighter! As I got older and into high school, my interests shifted, and I realized I wanted to work with and support youth and adolescents. That passion eventually led me to a rewarding career in social work.

• What is one of your favorite memories from when you were in school as a student, and why? I grew up in a small, tight-knit community similar to Snohomish, and I always loved being part of the school events and traditions that brought everyone together. I also played multiple sports, and being a student-athlete was one of my favorite parts of my school experience. It helped me build strong relationships and taught me the importance of community, teamwork, and connection.

• What’s your favorite school supply and why? A planner, no question. I’m usually very busy, so I live by my calendar. So if it’s not written down, there’s a pretty good chance that it’s not happening!

• Who inspires you, and why? My biggest inspiration is my mom. She is one of the toughest and most intelligent people I know. She worked two jobs while raising my sister and me, demonstrating resilience, sacrifice, and dedication every single day. She means so much to me, and the work ethic she instilled in me continues to guide both my personal and professional life… and yes, I still call her when I don’t know what I’m doing.

From the classroom to the Amazon HQ!

Earlier this week, a group of Snohomish High School (SHS) students in teacher Scott Bracken’s computer science classes had the opportunity to present their student-developed SHS app at Amazon headquarters in Seattle. Students shared their work with Amazon software engineers, received valuable feedback, discussed the growing impact of AI in the industry, and toured the iconic Amazon Spheres.

A special thank you to SHS alum and Amazon software engineer Daniel Doran for mentoring students throughout the school year and hosting this memorable experience!

Step back in time at Machias Elementary!

Students in Sadie Brumley’s 4/5/6 class recently traded their classroom for pioneer life during an unforgettable Pioneer Day experience this week. These students didn’t just learn about history, they experienced it. Dressed in bonnets, aprons, cowboy hats, and bandanas, students spent the day prepping their meals, building birdhouses, making candles, washing laundry by hand, playing traditional games, and even shopping at a general store using mock currency.

Pioneer Day brought Washington state history to life through hands-on learning, teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving. From writing postcards to pen pals to building travois for hauling supplies, every activity gave students a glimpse into the daily life of pioneers.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this experience possible. To read details about Pioneer Day please visit: www.sno.wednet.edu/news/pioneer-day

Meet Snohomish School District speech-language pathologist Christy Generous!

• How many years have you worked in education? I graduated with my masters in speech pathology 40 years ago (yikes!) from Indiana State University. I worked in private practice for a year and a half, in southern California, prior to finding my way to a school-based position. After arriving in Washington in 1990, I spent a long stretch as a full-time or part-time stay at home parent to Emilee and Brent (both Snohomish High School grads). If I'm being honest, being the primary parent was the best and hardest, and most rewarding job I've ever had!

• How long have you worked in the Snohomish School District and what is your role? I am a speech-language pathologist (SLP), and I was hired the year of the strike (2002), which was a crazy time to begin a career in Snohomish. I started at Seattle Hill Elementary and have worked at most every school in the district at one time or another over the past 24 years. I have been at Little Cedars Elementary since the building opened in 2007. I love this job so much! I love the close relationships I enjoy with staff, students and families. And I am beyond grateful for the opportunities I have had to lead, train, mentor, and support my SLP team.

• If you had a day completely to yourself with no responsibilities, how would you spend it? I would love to find myself at the edge of a beach with my toes in the water and a beautiful sunset on the horizon. If I could spend it with my adult children, I would be beyond delighted! However, I am also blessed with many close friends so they would likely be nearby, and ready for a happy hour, hike or deep conversation.

• What was your dream job when you were a kid? I have always been drawn to working with children. I volunteered as a "candy striper" in my community hospital when I was 16. I thought I wanted to be a pediatrician but quickly discovered that the hospital setting was not my jam.

• What is one of your favorite memories from when you were in school as a student, and why? About 50 years ago, my 7th grade teacher, Mr. Rosborg, played a pivotal role in shaping my life. The love of learning he encouraged had been nurtured first by my parents, but he recognized something in me and in my siblings - that others might have overlooked. We grew up on what people often called “the wrong side of the tracks,” yet he never let that define our potential.

Mr. Rosborg was only 21 years old and in his first year of teaching. Even so, he carried himself with the confidence and insight of a far more seasoned educator. During that year, he helped me set goals that might have felt out of reach. In time, he did the same for my siblings, guiding each of us to believe in what we could achieve. I was only in 7th grade, but even I could see he was an exceptional educator!

A few years ago, I saw him again and congratulated him on his retirement. As he spoke with me and my sister, he laughed while recalling how much trouble my brothers had caused, and how hard the school staff worked to keep them on track. Those stories made it even clearer how much patience and dedication went into supporting our family.

In the end, we all earned bachelor’s degrees and three of four earned master’s degrees - an outcome I credit, in no small part, to his early belief in us. His influence didn’t just shape a single school year. It helped shape the course of our lives

• What is your favorite book, and why? When I was in high school, I read Manchild in the Promised Land by Claude Brown, and it left a lasting impression on me. I remember being struck by its gritty, unfiltered portrayal of growing up in an environment shaped by poverty, instability, and limited opportunity. Despite the differences in our circumstances, I recognized parallels in my own coming of age, particularly in the ways environment and expectation can shape a person's path.

Reading it pushed me to reflect more deeply on the idea of privilege - who has access to support, encouragement, and opportunity, and who does not. It made me more aware of how easily potential can be overlooked when someone’s circumstances overshadow their abilities. In my work, I am often reminded of the inequities families face, particularly when navigating disabilities alongside social or economic challenges. I strive to connect with and recognize potential in every student, If I can offer even a small measure of support - helping a child communicate more effectively, helping a family feel heard. I know that those moments matter.

• Who inspires you, and why? I have been fortunate to work alongside so many dedicated educators and special educators over the years. I play a small role in our students’ journeys, and I am continually inspired by my colleagues. Every day, I see teachers and support staff meet students where they are - with patience, creativity, and an unwavering belief in their potential. They adapt in the moment, celebrate small victories, and remain committed to their own growth as professionals. That quiet, steady dedication to both students and lifelong learning is deeply meaningful to me, and I feel proud to be part of a team that embodies such care and purpose.

I am equally inspired by the families I have the privilege to partner with. Many navigate complex and often overwhelming challenges, yet they show up for their children in ways both big and small. Their advocacy, resilience, and love have a profound impact, shaping not only their child’s experience but also the work we do as educators. Their trust and collaboration remind me daily why this work matters.

Finally, I am inspired by administrators who lead with empathy and intention - those who create environments where staff feel supported, valued, and truly seen. When leaders recognize educators as the irreplaceable assets they are, it fosters a culture of trust, growth, and shared commitment. That kind of leadership makes it possible for all of us to do our best work for students.

Snohomish High School culinary students in teacher Linsey Turski’s classes recently flipped their creativity to the next level during a pancake art demonstration with artist Brek Nebel. Nebel, owner of Pancake Brekfast (a fun play on his name), showed students how he transforms everyday breakfast into something fun, creative, and edible.
