Highline Schools Foundation Announces Gold Star Winners

Highline Schools Foundation for Excellence announced its 2009 Gold Star Award winners…

Welcome Our Latest Advertiser: Burien Trophy!

We offer a first-place, award-winning handshake welcome to our latest Advertiser: Burien Trophy!

Burien Trophy has a long history of community involvement here in town, getting its start about four decades ago.

Susan Hillard, who owned the shop since the early 1990’s, sold it last year to her most trusted employee, Angie Coy-Jackson.

And Angie in turn realized she had no better assistant to have on board than Susan herself, who now holds down the fort from time to time.

They make a great team.

Speaking of teams, Burien Trophy revolves around sports and team activities, including work, corporate and civic groups.

Here’s just a short list of their products and services:

• Award certificates
• Custom engraved signs
• Name plates and badges
• Ribbons
• Achievement and recognition medals
• Plaques
• Pens, clocks and gavels
• Sandblasting
• Trophies (of course) for all occasions

They specialize in laser engraving.

“We are very customer oriented,” Angie said. “We customize and personalize our products for every order. Come in or call and let us know what you need.”

Angie and her husband keep busy with their daughter, Audajha, a student at Highline High School.

“We all love to go bowling and roller skating,” Angie says.

Angie’s husband, Sergeant Guy Jackson, commutes to Fort Lewis every work day, serving in the 1st Special Forces Group Airborne.

On that random and rare day when they have a couple hours to spare, Angie and her husband jump on their motorcycle and, well, just go.

“I just sit on the back and hold on for dear life,” she says, “because my feet won’t reach the ground!”

Burien Trophy moved to their current location about a year ago. They have a great shop on the south side of SW 153rd, very near fellow B-Town advertiser E.B. Foote Winery.
