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!

The Omak Trap team traveled to Mansfield this last Saturday to compete and did very well. The team placed 2nd (beating Okanogan) with Colten Stansbury as the top shooter overall. Colten also placed 2nd in the Buddy shoot. Garrett Hoover placed 3rd in Buddy. Ryden Butler got 1st place in Annie Oakly and Darius Christensen got 3rd place.
This was a great contest to warm up and prepare for the State trap shoot this Weekend. Wish us well.
