Last month, we are celebrated kindness as our Pirate of the Month theme. Kindness means giving attention, appreciation, and encouragement through words, gifts, or actions. Kind Pirates are good listeners, gentle and patient, take time to get to know others, avoid judgment, give compliments, include everyone, and show consistency in how they treat others.

We are proud to recognize the following students for demonstrating kindness in our school community:

Join us for a fun and festive Spirit Week as we celebrate school pride and community. Students are invited to participate in daily spirit days:

We can’t wait to see everyone showing their spirit all week long!  (Check out last week's Schoology for some pictures/ideas.)

📅 Season Start Date: February 12th

📅 Final Meet: April 1st

📍 Location: Olympic View Middle School

 

🟢 Monday–Thursday

• Practice: 2:45–4:45 PM

• Pickup: 5:00 PM

 

🟣 Friday

• Pickup: 4:00 PM

 

Practices run directly after school and are structured with an emphasis on safety, skill development and confidence-building.

We are excited to invite all Olympic View Middle School girls to come try Girls Wrestling! Wrestling is one of the fastest-growing girls’ sports in the country, and OV is proud to offer a supportive, beginner-friendly wrestling program where athletes can learn, grow, and gain confidence—no prior experience required.

Olympic View feeds directly into Kamiak High School, which now has a completely separate girls wrestling team with 20 girls currently on the roster.

 

While middle school wrestling is co-ed, the Kamiak girls program is a stand-alone team with:

• Girls-only practices

• Girls-only competition

• A strong team culture focused on confidence, leadership, and growth

 

At the middle school level, Pirates Wrestling is a co-ed program, and girls and boys practice in the same room. At the high school level, Kamiak has a completely separate girls wrestling team.

 

Athlete safety and emotional comfort are a top priority in our program. Girls will never be required to wrestle anyone they are not comfortable wrestling. Consent, communication and respect are a major focus of how practices are run. Athletes are encouraged to speak up, set boundaries, and advocate for themselves—and those boundaries are always respected.

 

• Strength and athletic confidence

• Discipline and resilience

• Self-defense skills

• Mental toughness

• A strong sense of belonging and teamwork

 

Many of our current wrestlers are first-time athletes who had never wrestled—or even played a sport—before joining.

 

We already have seven girls signed up for the season, and most of them are brand new to wrestling. Several joined because a friend was willing to try it with them. If your student is on the fence, she will not be alone.

✔️ All Olympic View girls & boys (grades 6-8); 6th graders can practice with team but cannot compete in meets

✔️ Beginners welcome

✔️ No experience needed

✔️ No tryouts or cuts

If your student is curious, athletic, shy, competitive, or just looking for something new—wrestling is for them.

 

Starting wrestling in middle school is a great way to build skills and confidence before high school—but no prior experience is required at any level. Join Our Schoology Group for more info! Access code is 5PTR-2GGX-XK7J8

 

If you have questions or would like to talk through whether wrestling is a good fit for your student, I’m happy to connect: BaldwinJH@mukilteo.wednet.edu

What is OV PTO? Olympic View Middle School PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) has a simple mission to assist students, staff, and families at Olympic View. Let us know if you'd like to volunteer in any way!

Become a PTO member HERE - (suggested $15 but can put $0 - we just want you to join!)

OV PTO sponsors many events throughout the school year. CLICK HERE to see all of our planned events.

There’s still space available! Encourage your student to invite their OV friends for a fun evening this Friday, February 6 at the Mukilteo YMCA. The PTO is covering the cost, so OV students can attend free of charge to enjoy the pool (with the Muk Island inflatable), gym, and game room for video games, crafts, and board games. Food & Fun: Brooklyn Bros Pizzeria is donating pizza (one slice per student), along with Crumbl Cookies and snacks.

The City of Mukilteo has invited the OV PTO to host a booth (or two!) showing how families in our community celebrate Lunar New Year. Join the fun as we welcome the Year of the Horse at the Rosehill Community Center, Wednesday, February 12 from 5–8 PM. Come celebrate diversity and community with us!

We’re looking for new leaders to carry on the OV PTO’s great work next year! Many of our current board members have 8th graders moving on, so we need new volunteers to train this spring. Without them, favorite events like Snacks Ahoy and after-school activities may not happen next year. All positions are open: President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Incoming 6th-grade families are encouraged to join! If you’re interested, please contact the nominating committee by March 13 at 12PM at ovpiratepride@gmail.com.

Stay up-to-date by following OV PTO on Facebook and Instagram.
