The sixth-period bell rings across Lake Stevens High School's campus. It's a sunny Wednesday with temperatures in the 70s, a rarity in this region in September. Many students are looking forward to their after-school activities in the warm sunlight, knowing it won't be around much longer as the calendar nears fall. However, students in Kirsten Harvey's Advanced Sports Medicine class are eager to spend their next 56 minutes indoors.

Between classes, the hallways of Lake Stevens Middle School turn into a noisy orchestra. Voices blur into a continuous hum, punctuated by the sharp squeak of rubber soles on linoleum and the rhythmic, cricket-like zipping of dozens of backpacks. But today is Friday, and a new sound cuts through the hallway chatter like a jolt of electricity.
