On Thursday, March 21, East Omak Elementary held its annual school spelling bee. 13 classes held classroom bees to determine a winner and an alternate, who was then recommended to the school-wide Bee. Students from 3rd -5th grade participated and competed against one another. After fifteen hard-won rounds, 5th grader Desmond Truitt was victorious for the second year in a row, spelling the word DELIBERATELY correctly. 4th grader Meleah Giles took 2nd place, and 5th grader Cesar Cajija took 3rd place. These students worked hard and studied; we could not be prouder of their master spelling skills. The other participants in the Bee were Rory Miller, Kaia Ortuno, Lilyanne Sherwood, Brittany Klett, Acacia Duran, Kynnedi O’Dell, Kasen Bessette, Diesel Huston, and Max Espino. We are so proud of their hard work and perseverance!
There was a great turnout of family and friends to cheer these amazing spellers on.
We are excited about the prospect of an even larger pool of contestants next year, and we encourage all students to consider participating in this exciting event!

Another great Board CTE meeting.
Students from the Middle School and High School presented several different projects that they are currently working on and have completed throughout the school year. The students expressed how much they enjoyed the CTE experience and wished that some of the new classes, like aviation, had been offered earlier in their high school careers.
Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are essential for providing students with practical skills and knowledge to prepare them for various careers. The hands-on learning showcases how CTE programs offer hands-on learning experiences that engage students and help them develop valuable skills. Discuss specific projects, internships, and apprenticeships that allow students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings.

Ms. Wilson's 3rd-grade class had an opportunity to have Cpl. Wilson, Deputy Lewis, and K9 Gambit from CCRJC in Wenatchee come and spend the day with them. The officers come and hang out with the kids, teach them what K9 Gambit does, all about what a day doing their job is like, and watch K9 Gambit do some training exercises. They also did an outdoor presentation for the entire third grade and the Life Skills class. It is one of the highlights of the year for the kids.

I'm happy to pass the cup to Tiarha Agee. She is an incredible teacher and teammate and has an excellent sense of humor☺️ She goes above and beyond on the 4th grade team and with her students. She is a great problem solver and takes challenges head on. She is always willing to take the lead, or to pitch in to help in any way that she can. She develops great ideas and helps her team come up with plans that keep our students engaged in their learning. She also does an excellent job with her students creating lasting relationships and a love of learning. We are very lucky to have Tiarha on our team, she is a great asset to our school. Congratulations and well deserved!
