East Elementary:
We're excited to share that Omak Chief of Police Dan Christensen, Officer Ryan Carnahan, and CORE Program Manager Rochelle Danielson have embarked on a remarkable journey to empower our 5th-grade students! Together, they've introduced an innovative curriculum intertwining Rubik's cube mastery with essential life skills.
By linking cube-solving steps to our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum, they're equipping our students with problem-solving, teamwork, and perseverance skills. Each student has received a Rubik's cube to practice, fostering hands-on learning and engagement.
Moreover, these sessions provide a unique opportunity for our students to bond with local law enforcement community members, building connections and trust. Our first class on Thursday, February 22, was a tremendous success, and we're excited to continue these enriching sessions for the next six weeks.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Chief Dan Christensen, Officer Ryan Carnahan, and Program Manager Rochelle Danielson for their dedication to nurturing our students' growth and fostering positive community relationships. Together, we're shaping a brighter future! 🧩📚👮♂️ #CommunityEngagement #LifeSkillsEducation
East Elementary's annual Winter Book Fair Family Night!
This winter's event took place on Thursday, February 15th, and it was a huge success with over 214 attendees! Families enjoyed a complimentary pizza dinner and engaged in fun games and crafts, all while exploring the exciting selection at our book fair. Even our beloved mascot, Easton the Eagle, made a special appearance to add to the festivities. It was a night filled with joy and laughter for everyone involved!
Celebrating Love and Kindness at EOE!

The Omak School District was notified that East Elementary was awarded the Healthy Kids, Healthy Schools grant to fund an outdoor covered structure (it is 44' x 48')! The grant was for up to $200,000, and we received the full amount! So exciting! Facilities are planning to install it this summer.
Omak Lighthouse Fundraiser
The Winthrop Rink hosted East's 4th graders for a morning of ice skating! They allow all Okanogan County 4th graders to skate free for the entire season. We are grateful for their continued support! What an amazing opportunity for our students!
In January, East Omak Elementary began rewarding one student per classroom with a Student of the Month award. These students consistently follow our school wide expectations by showing respect, solving problems, making good decisions, and being safe! We are SO very proud of these exceptional East Eagles!
