Greetings Kootenai Families!
I am so excited to welcome the fall season and share all the wonderful activities we have coming up at Kootenai!
Please save the date! On Thursday, November 7th, we’ll be hosting our TITLE I FAMILY BINGO NIGHT (see details below). Join us for a fun-filled evening with laughter, prizes, pizza, books, and, of course, BINGO! Make sure to mark your calendars for a night of family fun!
In addition, this year, we’re bringing back our school-wide PUMPKIN EXTRAVAGANZA on Halloween! Every class will dive into hands-on activities that explore math and science concepts using pumpkins. We’d LOVE your help! Please click THIS LINK if you’d be willing to donate pumpkins for this event. Also, please reach out to your child's teacher if you are interested in volunteering for these hands-on activities 🎃
As always, please check out our social media pages (Facebook & Instagram) for updates, pictures, and additional information! Also, to view our full October Newsletter, please CLICK HERE. Looking forward to a fantastic fall!
In gratitude,
Summer Tigert, Principal

SEE - TELL - NOW
All schools in Lake Pend Oreille School District utilize See, Tell, Now! -- a Student Threat Reporting System. The anonymous tip line is staffed by trained technicians who receive and evaluate tips 24/7. The tips are screened for accuracy and severity, then assigned to school points of contact or law enforcement, if applicable.
