Mr. Winter's 5th Grade class traveled to Grand Coulee Dam for their ROAR Adventure. On the tour, students were allowed inside one of the three powerhouses where the power generating turbines are located. They were guided deep within the tunnels of the dam to depths of 250 feet below current water level. Lastly students were led to the top of the dam where they learned how hydroelectric power is created at Grand Coulee Dam and how the dam was created for irrigating the Columbia Basin and other parts of eastern Washington.

Early Release @11:30 AM on 4/13 and 4/14 for Parent/Teacher Conferences. Please reach out to individual schools or teachers for any questions you might have.

Attention 5th Grade Parents: Our next ROAR adventure is Wednesday, April 12th where we travel to Grand Coulee Dam. Due to the distance we will be away from school, please make sure to have your child properly dressed for inclement weather as we will be outside most of the day. Also, it may be a good idea to pack extra healthy snacks in addition to a school lunch that may be provided. It is important to inform parents this adventure will extend beyond the end of the regular school day. This will require you to make arrangements to pick up your child after school hours. Our return time will be approximately 3:15-3:30 on Wednesday, April 12th. Thank you for your help and if you have any questions, please contact Mr. McRae or Mr. Winters

Softball JV Scrimmage at 3 pm and 5 pm today. Hope to see you there!
