East Omak Elementary students showed incredible determination and talent at the State Math Masters Competition in Moses Lake this past weekend!
Our 4th- and 5th-grade Math Is Cool teams competed against some of the top young mathematicians from across Washington State after months of dedicated practice, teamwork, and problem-solving.
✨ The 5th-grade team — Finn Taylor, Zachary McCuistion, Maddox Burelo, and Kimber McCoy — earned 101 team points and placed 11th in the highly competitive “E” Division.
The 4th-grade team — Willow Diaz, Pradipta Adhikari, along with 3rd graders Jason Dodge and Paxton Couture — earned 84 team points and placed 6th in the “E” Division.
These students represented East Omak Elementary with pride, perseverance, and a love for learning. We are incredibly proud of all they accomplished this season!
A huge thank you to Kacie Nelson, Ms. Ingram, Mr. Wolf, and Mrs. Hendrickson for their support, flexibility, and teamwork in helping make this season such a success. Great things happen when we work together!

School bus drivers' training got a little more intense than usual
We simulated a “bus full of smoke” scenario to prepare drivers and staff for emergency situations. While it may look alarming, this hands-on training is critical to ensuring everyone knows exactly what to do if the unexpected happens.
From quick decision-making to safe evacuation procedures, our team stepped up and handled it like pros. Safety is always our top priority, and practices like this help protect what matters most, our students.
Huge thanks to everyone who participated and helped make this training a success!
