Any day is a good day to decorate cookies but decorating cookies at the Panorama Preschool on Valentine’s Day is a GREAT day! Thank you, Key Club, for being such a great example and for helping out throughout the year!

The Key Club's second blood drive of the year was a success! Ten Key Club members worked the drive setting up, registering donors, and explaining how to access Fast Track, which is where donors complete their health history questionnaire. Having donors complete this before they donate helps the Vitalant staff keep the drive running smoothly. The crew processed 30 appointments, 26 registered donors, and were key in the success of collecting 25 successful donations! Great work Key Club!

SNOW MAKE-UP DAY: School was canceled on November 30th due to inclement weather. This year, make-up days will be added to the end of the year, which makes June 12th our new last day of school, and is an early release day. June 9th, the original last day, will be a full day. Presidents’ Day weekend remains a four day weekend with no school from this Friday, February 17th through Monday February 20th. If you have any questions, please call your student’s school office. The Colville School District would like to apologize for the late notice regarding the makeup day for the snow cancellation. The February 17th day could not be used due to a conflict between staff calendars. In the future, all school cancellation days will be clearly marked on the district calendar and communicated clearly with parents as soon as possible after the school cancellation.

On Thursday, February 9th, Mrs. Nelson took a group of students to the Spokane Ag Expo, the largest farm show in the Inland Northwest! Ag Expo is a place where agriculture professionals meet to collaborate, connect, and create new relationships. This creates a platform for the next generation of agriculture professionals to GROW through exposure to industry pathways. This exposure encourages our Hawks to think about the endless possibilities for their own futures!

Mrs. Ressa's Leadership class visited our preschool yesterday. They made spin art together. This is a great way for our students to mentor our future Crimson Hawks! Everyone had a great time!
