Knights helped a ton! Knights tackle hunger with Northwest Harvest!
Thank you to our Newport Knights Varsity Football Team who volunteered for the Tackle Hunger community service project with the Seattle Seahawks.

The event raised $ 14,500 and 2,000 pounds of food for needy families in our area.

Thanks to:
Lee Stoops
Spencer Bursek
Jim and Eric Burch
Mike Klinge
Grayson Garfield
Doug Sames
Patrick Taiwo

Special thanks to Irene Botero for driving and helping collect the money and food with me!

P.S. We are in need of a volunteer for community service projects next year. For example, someone willing to be the contact for Northwest Harvest when they have hunger projects like this? Please let me know as this is my last event for the Knights. See contact information on the Booster / TD Club page.
Thanks,

'Just a fun-loving guy' | Longtime Newport coach John Fullerton passes away

Dedicated. Loyal. Funny. Loving.

That's how friends say they will remember John Fullerton, the longtime Newport teacher and coach who died Friday at age 67 after suffering a heart attack while fishing in Brewster, Wash.

Fullerton, they say, was a man full of life, a man who deeply loved his wife Sharon, and a man who cared more about teaching and coaching than the skill level of the athlete.

"He was there for everybody," said Colleen Martin, a former javelin thrower under Fullerton, who later returned at his behest to coach alongside him at Newport. "He put everything he had into coaching and he loved all of the kids."

Fullerton, a Shoreline graduate who played football at Western Washington and earned his master's degree at Central, began his teaching career at Newport when the school opened.

He never left.
