Last night, White River High School celebrated 88 graduating seniors during Hornet Honors. Collectively, these students from the class of 2023 have earned over $1.7 million in scholarships and more are still coming in. During this event, the White River Community Scholarship non-profit organization was able to give scholarships to 30 very deserving seniors. I was wondering if you might be able to put this info and the attached photo in the paper? I will also be doing a thank you letter like last year, but am gathering my info on donors first.

Enumclaw lacrosse dominates Orting, wins state

And the White River girls golf team captured second place.

Enumclaw High and White River joined 14 other teams for the two-day District 3 fastpitch tournament that eventually sent six squads to the Class 2A state championships, to be played this week in Selah. Enumclaw won two games at the Regional Athletic Complex in Lacey and is state-bound; White River dropped two games and saw the season come to a close. In this photo, Enumclaw's Alyssa Neal is tagged out at third while trying to stretch a double into a triple; the positive note is that her hit pushed the Hornets' first run across the plate.
