April 5, 2026 – On a glorious spring morning, Easter Sunday April 5th, the Kiwanis Club of Lake Stevens carried on a beloved 49-year tradition as hundreds of families gathered at Highland Elementary School for the club’s annual Easter Egg Hunt — free to every child in the community. Children ages 1–11 clutched their baskets and buckets behind the starting rope, bursting with anticipation before the signal sent them scrambling across the field to collect colorful plastic eggs filled with candy and small prizes.
Lucky egg-finders discovered special tokens redeemable for grand prizes including Easter baskets, large stuffed bunnies, and scooters, making for squeals of delight all around. The Easter Bunny himself arrived in style, delivered to the event aboard a Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue Station 81 fire truck, thrilling kids and parents alike.
The event ran flawlessly thanks to the dedicated volunteers of Boy Scout Troop 41, the Lake Stevens High School Key Club, and Kiwanis Club members, all under the expert coordination of Kiwanis member Kathy Fox. Thanks to all the wonderful volunteers for their efforts, and especially Kathy Fox and her team for making it look so seamless! We’d also like to thank the Easter Bunny of course, the Snohomish Regional Fire & Rescue Station 81 crew, and our fabulous announcer Anthony Morea.
It was a beautiful reminder of what serving the children of Lake Stevens truly looks like — neighbors coming together to give kids a safe, joyful, and memorable celebration at no cost. Events like this one are exactly why kids need Kiwanis.
Mark your calendars — the Lake Stevens Kiwanis Club looks forward to welcoming the community back for the 50th Annual Easter Egg Hunt next Easter! To learn more about our club and upcoming events, visit us at lskiwanis.org.

Lake Stevens Winterfest 2025 Gets A Visit From Santa!
Fun times and another successful Kiwanis Winterfest celebration! We had a booth where we handed out hot drinks and cookies. We also put in a request for a visit from Santa, and here he is with one of his elves! So plenty of kids (and a few parents) were able to get a picture with Santa! Thank you to the City of Lake Stevens for putting on the event, to BSA Troop 41 for assisting in our Kiwanis booth, to the Snohomish Regional Fire and Rescue Station 81 for bringing Santa from the fire station (where his sleigh and reindeer were tended to), and especially to Nicole Perez and Tosha Edwards for organizing and setup of the Kiwanis booth! And especially to Santa and his elve for dropping by!
Thanksgiving Baskets For Those In Need
Each year in November one of our favorite and most fulfilling projects is collecting food & creating baskets of food for five local families in need. In conjunction with the Lake Stevens Boys & Girls club, we collect food at the Lake Stevens Haggens store over two days. The collected food is organized and transported to the Boys & Girls Club, where a group of Kiwanis and Key Club volunteers assemble the baskets of food. The five families (chosen by the Boys & Girls Club) then pick up their baskets and are able to have a bountiful Thanksgiving meal. Thanks to Kathy & Alan Fox for organizing the project, and of course thanks to all the other Kiwanians and Key Club members for their generous donation of their time. And a special thanks to the Boys & Girls Club for their help as well.
