Senior Spotlight 2024
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.

East Elementary
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.

Jessica Olsen chose Ray because:
I want to pass the cup to Miss Ray. Her continued respect, appreciation, acknowledgment, and support of each student never go unnoticed. She is dedicated to building relationships with both staff and students. I enjoy working with Miss Ray and look forward to many more years! Thank you for being you, Miss Ray!
Joneen Ingram chose Tiarha because:
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!
East Elementary, March - Students of the Month
North Elementary
Mrs. Hand’s class has been studying ladybugs, and it is finally time to release them into the school courtyard.
In 2022 the Omak School District partnered with MacDonald-Miller Mechanical to upgrade our HVAC systems in four of our Omak School District buildings. With our fastidious maintenance, these systems had gone well-beyond their typical 20-year lifespans. The district utilized federal ESSER dollars to fund the project to improve the energy efficiency and air quality for our students, staff and community.
After completing this project, the Omak School District received an incentive rebate check from the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) for the energy savings that this project created within our district. The district is proud to continue partnering with the Okanogan PUD and the BPA to use the incentive monies in our efforts to improve energy efficiency across our district through additional maintenance and upgrades.
North Elementary Preschool continues to learn about Salmon as part of our Spring Salmon Curriculum. Tracey Edwards came and showed the Preschoolers his salmon fishing pole, net, and other fishing gear. Miss Leslie read the book “A Lost River,” illustrated by the late Smoker Marchand. Students also got to taste some canned, smoked, and wind-dried salmon if they wanted. Several of our students couldn’t get enough of the salmon. 😊 Our Preschoolers will be participating in a salmon release in about 1½ weeks.

In March, East Omak Elementary's PE teacher, Mr. Agee and 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Agee attended the Growing School Gardens Summit. This conference was funded by the National Association of Conservation Districts and a Slow Foods grant.
Sixteen educators from across Okanogan County, representing eight school gardens in our county, were in attendance with over 500 other school garden advocates from across the country! Mr. and Mrs. Agee learned about planning gardens and techniques in the planting of various crops within school gardens.
Mr. and Mrs. Agee are using the training they received to start an after-school garden club this month, where students will learn to maintain garden beds, tend the plants and soil, and hopefully develop plans to grow food at home!
