Mrs. Rambo's class filled up their WHOA board. Brezlind and Odin were chosen to spin the wheel for a prize or experience. The whole class has done awesome things this year!
We have some exciting news!
Ms. Barker and Mrs. Wasem's classes joined together on Thursday to enjoy Tall Tales. Mrs. Wasem's 2nd graders just finished an ELA unit on Fairy Tales and Tall Tales. Ms. Barker's 4th grade class received a gift of Tall Tale books. They practiced reading them in class and then joined together with 2nd graders to read with and to them. Fun was had by all.

Important Jog-a-Thon Information!
Here is some important information about our upcoming Jog-a-thon.
Over the weekend of September 13-15, Clarkston High School in Clarkston, Washington experienced a security concern. In response to a report of a threat, increased security measures were taken. We applaud the response of the school district in taking steps to protect students, as Mountain View School District continues to hold school security as a priority.
Frustratingly, multiple social media posts were later made that exacerbated the situation and spread concern throughout the Lewis and Clark Valley. Students are encouraged to See, Tell, Now when they have concerns for their safety or the safety of other students. It is important for us to help students understand that the “Tell” portion of that process means telling a parent, trusted adult, and/or school official immediately. Social Media posts from unofficial sources only cause further fear and confusion.
Thank you in advance for working with the District in helping your child understand the importance of following the proper protocols for school safety while not causing further harm in spreading social media rumors.
