Hello Wolf Pack Families,

Today I experienced my first Veteran's Day Assembly at Selkirk Middle School. As a former teacher at Liberty Lake Elementary, and as a proud daughter of a Vietnam Marine and mom to two sons who serve in the Army, I have both big emotions and expectations as we celebrate our Veterans. Today I was so impressed with the student leadership and service that was demonstrated by our ASB, choir, band, and orchestra. Our students put together an informative ceremony that demonstrated respect and honor for all who have served, or are serving in our armed forces. Their preparation and hard work was apparent in each portion of the assembly and our student body did an excellent job of listening and participating respectfully. I want to remind each of us to take to heart and put into action Mr. Larsen's challenge to use this morning. "Take time this weekend to thank a Veteran- someone in your family, your community...somehow in some way, thank a Veteran this holiday weekend." A special thank you to our guest speaker Lt. Col. Neil Begalman for sharing your military experience with us; and a sincere thank you to each Veteran that attended and celebrated with us today. We THANK YOU. (Mrs. Hurst)


As winter conditions arrive, we will spend more of our break after lunch indoors. During this time, students are able to access options after eating and cleaning up, including: library, book fair, two-square, spike ball, & Bingo.

In classrooms, teachers and students are wrapping up the first quarter and finishing up work and/or assessments. Many are completing reflections of their learning this quarter and setting goals for next.
