Selkirk Ranger Community; to honor our neighboring Cusick School District and respect the Wellpinit Community, the Battle for the Paddle festivities scheduled for Thursday night (January 16th) have been canceled. The junior varsity and varsity boys’ games will still take place in Cusick at 4:30 and 6:00. However, the spirit bus will no longer travel to the game. Thank you for your support and contributions to the Battle for the Paddle competition this week. The Middle School/High School will still host the planned dress-up days and assembly. We will also gladly continue to take food donations for our local food bank. We appreciate your understanding as we postpone this good-natured rivalry until next year. During this time, let us come together as a united community.

🎉🎄 What an eventful day with our beloved elementary school elves, Bernard and Bernadette who had fun with all the children!

Wishing everyone a lovely holiday season filled with joy and magic. See you all next year! ✨

Selkirk High School is partnering with InvestED to generate funds to assist students in need. InvestED provides funding that supports secondary schools throughout Washington State. Last school year, InvestED helped nearly 25,000 students in over 600 schools across the state, with over $900,000 in program support. InvestED’s mission is to provide immediate help for students in need, with a goal of encouraging students to get to school, engage in school, and graduate.
This year Selkirk is collaborating with InvestED to create an online funding campaign where 100% of the money raised by the community will stay in the community to benefit our students. In Addition, InvestED will match up to $500 per school, per school year. We are asking for your donation to make a large impact on students who desperately need our support.

The Selkirk music program is once again looking for donations of used instruments. Students in grades 5-12 are able to participate in band using a school instrument rather than renting one from a music store. However, we do not have enough brass instruments to meet the interest. If you have a band instrument at home and no longer use it, you can drop it off at either the elementary or high school office and we'll refurbish it for our music program! Thank you to those who have donated in the past as well as those of you willing to dig through those closets to donate now!

Selkirk Elementary School's Pumpkin Math Night was a huge success last night thanks to Kathy & Donny Milliren of Donny-O's Donuts, Hidden Acre Farms of Green Bluff, and The Falls Market in Metaline Falls! Thanks also to the Cutter Theatre and Scout Troup #975 who each hosted a math center for students. 219 students, parents, and grandparents attend! Students charted and added their points in pumpkin bowling and pumpkin hoola toss, they tested their cooperation and balancing skills with pumpkin inertia, and practiced a variety of other art and math skills throughout the night! Donny and Kathy Milliren donated over 1400 free donuts for families to enjoy and thanks to the generosity of Hidden Acres and The Falls Market every student went home with a free door prize pumpkin! This truly is a wonderful community and we are grateful for the support. I also think a thanks should go out to Lois Whysong, the originator of Pumpkin Math Night all those years ago at Ione Primary School! Thanks for starting the tradition!
