    Food drive offers Coupeville students lesson in community...
    By Kathy Reed • January 23, 2013 4:13 pm

    Members of the Coupeville Elementary Leadership Club have had a great lesson in community service.

    The group helped organize a food drive in December for Gifts From the Heart Food Bank. This was the second year the fourth-and fifth- graders, who belong to the leadership club, took on the community service project. According to club supervisor and Coupeville Elementary teacher Jon Gabelein, students nearly doubled the amount of food collected last year and surpassed their goal for this year.

    “They did so well, they almost doubled the goal,” he said. “They collected 1,813 items this year. The goal was 1,500 for the school. Last year they collected 1,041 items.”

    By Kathy Reed • January 19, 2013 9:00 am

    Kids have a unique way of looking at things. Some of their perspective has been captured in a new book, “Coupeville: Through the Eyes of its Children,” a collection of photographs taken by children of the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club.

    The project was the brainchild of Coupeville Boys and Girls Club Program Director Jo-Ellen Fischbach and was made possible by a grant from the Coupeville Festival Association. Fischbach said this was a great project for Coupeville kids to get involved with.

    She has spent her career in public education and told board members during a brief interview at Monday evening’s board meeting that she would relish a spot on the board.
