Area Little Free Library Recognized
Our very own Ms. Delyea's Little Free Library on Hofstetter Street was recently recognized as a recipient of Good Morning America’s October Book Selection Bad Words by Rioghnach Robinson. Delyea received word of her Little Free Library receiving the October book but had to keep it a secret until it aired on Good Morning America. The reveal aired on Tuesday October 6th. There were 150 Little Free Libraries that were recipients of the selected book nationwide.
Delyea’s Little Free Library is a registered library. The Little Free Library is a nonprofit organization with a mission to build community, inspire readers and expand book access for all. Delyea received her library as a gift during the COVID quarantine. Her father and his childhood best friend built it as a Christmas gift. The pink library is on Hofstetter street and anyone can drop by for a book. Take a book and leave a book. It is free and there are books for all ages including the Good Morning America October selection unless someone has dropped by to borrow it.
What started as a special gift has become a wonderful way for Delyea to share her love of reading and connect her community through books.

On September 30, our Fish Hatchery students and teacher Mr. Terry loaded 15,000 fish, which is about 750 pounds of live fish, into WDFW trucks for stocking in our local lakes. Students crowded, netted, weighed, and bucketed the fish before helping transport them to the trucks. Of the 15,000 fish, 10,000 will be released into Sacheen Lake and 5,000 into Jump Off Joe Lake.
This is one of two semiannual fish stockings supplied by our hatchery, with the next stocking planned for April 2027 and October 2027. A big thank you to everyone who made it possible for our students to take part in this hands-on learning experience!

Homecoming Wall Decorating 2026! 🎬
One of our favorite Homecoming traditions! Each class chose a theme inspired by this year’s Hollywood theme and then brought it to life by decorating their wall in the cafeteria.

The countdown is ON, CHS! Homecoming is next week! Get ready for a week full of school spirit, fun, and a whole lot of Crimson Hawk pride!

The Class of 2027 gathered bright and early this morning for the traditional CHS Senior Sunrise and Mother Nature definitely showed up for the occasion!
Students enjoyed breakfast, good conversation, and each other while watching the sun come up over CHS. This beloved tradition had an excellent turnout and that sunrise did NOT disappoint!

On June 10th, students from Mr. Spencer's Physics class and Mr. Purvis' Electronics classes put on a science fair and electronics showcase at Hofstetter Elementary. All K-2 students rotated through the interactive high school presentations throughout the day. All of the projects were designed and built from scratch by high school students. Some of the projects included a simon-says game, a "robot tester", slime, potions that change color, a rocket launcher, and an automated conveyor belt that knocks off tall cups while letting short cups pass. The elementary students were all-smiles as they eagerly went from table to table.
On Friday, May 29th, six CHS seniors graduated from the Providence Certified Nursing Assistant program. Please congratulate Sarah Ballance, Cece Cecil, Eva McKeraghan, Izabella Parish, Lai Lonni Parmenter, and Addison Darrah.
June 12th is the last day of school and will be an early release day. Schools will release 3.5 hours earlier than normal and afternoon buses will drop off 3.5 hours earlier than normal. If you have any questions, please contact your student's school office. Thank you!

On April 30th, students in the CHS Electronics classes hosted their annual Electronics Showcase 2026, an interactive, science-fair-style event open to families, staff, and students. The showcase highlighted the continued growth and strength of the electronics program, both in enrollment and in the increasing complexity and quality of student-designed projects. Students are not only building technical skills year after year, but are also returning from freshman through senior year eager to take on more advanced challenges and expand their learning.
Student projects included industry automation with programmable logic controllers, microprocessor controlled circuits, audio circuits, games, servos, motors, LED lighting, and even a fully-functional Tesla coil. Students utilized AI skills in the design and improvement of their projects. Other engineering skills evident during the event included soldering, circuit board design, computer modeling, 3D-printing, ceramics, carpentry, and metal work. The support of the entire CHS CTE teaching staff created an incredible team culture as many students crossed curricular lines utilizing support from many sources across our school.
Throughout the event, students confidently explained their designs, shared challenges and successes, and demonstrated strong pride in their work and professionalism in their presentations. In addition to these hands-on learning experiences, students in the Electronics program also have the opportunity to earn up to 17 articulated college credits through the Community Colleges of Spokane, providing them with a valuable head start toward post-secondary education and career pathways in technical fields. Great work, Hawks!

The Colville Greenhouse Sale was a huge success! Thanks to the incredible support of our community, students sold more than 7,600 plants and over 130 hanging baskets this season.
Throughout the year, students gained valuable hands-on experience by starting petunias, marigolds, zinnias, and pansies from seed while learning the fundamentals of plant propagation and greenhouse management. Students also developed skills in soil preparation, watering requirements, transplanting techniques, and plant care through their work with hanging basket starts and Early Girl tomato plants.
More than just a plant sale, this project provided students with meaningful real-world experience in floriculture, teamwork, customer service, problem-solving, and responsibility. From planting seeds to assisting customers, students were involved every step of the way.
Thank you to everyone who purchased plants, supported our students, and helped make this learning experience possible. Your support helps our greenhouse program continue to grow while giving students opportunities to build skills they can carry into future careers and everyday life!

The Colville FFA Horse Judging Team competed at state in Ellensburg on May 5, 2026. We had a lot of fun, and for it being our first time ever competing, we did great! We placed 11th out of 35 teams. Each member achieved a personal best, and everyone excelled in various events, which led to our high team score.
The competition consisted of oral reasoning, a knowledge test, team activities, and judging different riding and halter classes. This was a great growing opportunity, and we can’t wait to come back next year!
