On Tuesday the MWP community learned that we lost one of our own, a former player and coach in Darian Atkinson. The entire MWP community, on behalf of both districts, wishes to share its condolences to the family and friends of Darian as the loss of this young and vibrant person is a troubling one that we are all struggling to deal with. Losing someone so young and the mother to a young child is hard to understand. As we all continue to traverse the world COVID has created around us seems to be an ever-changing one, and seeing this terrible virus take another life, and one so young is very difficult. As we move through the grief process let us all remember the amazing person that Darian was. A mother, a player for MWP, a student at White Pass, a health-care worker at Arbor Health, a daughter, a friend, a sister, and most of all a person who was a joy to be around.
Morton High School ASB announces Homecoming 2021
Yesterday we learned that Lewis County has lost one of our champions in Gary Stamper who passed away due to COVID. Gary has served this county, especially the east end of our county for decades. His service and commitment to all of us who live in this wonderful piece of Washington will not be forgotten. He coached our kids, helped lead educators to make an impact, and then committed himself to county service as our Commissioner. Gary was a leader, a caring soul, and friend to everyone in our county and everyone in the east end of Lewis County. On behalf of the entire Morton school community, we want to express our deep sadness for the loss of Gary to his family and pass on that we appreciate immensely all that he has done. Gary, you will be missed.

Recently the WIAA and DOH changed their guidance for basketball that players who are unvaccinated must be tested twice each week in order to be eligible to play. Today potential players were informed of this change and provided an informational letter. We have some tests on-site for players as of now, but there is a concern if the supply chain of tests will remain consistent to keep up with demand. A copy of the letter given to players can be found here: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/1573862/09232021_Basketball_Letter.pdf
