The sun is shining and it just might be beginning to feel like spring. It was a busy, fun week at Selkirk with several opportunities to celebrate our amazing and dedicated staff.

This week is Classified Staff Appreciation Week which means we make an united effort to say THANK YOU for all their hard work. We celebrated by hosting breakfast one morning, a staff baked potato bar potluck today, and students made individual cards for each staff member. Our classified staff serve as secretaries, custodians, lunch supervisors, kitchen staff, tech support and in Student Support. We appreciate each of them and the role they play in our Pack!

We also celebrated our Meritorious Award Nominees this morning when CVSD School Board member Pam Orbaugh joined us to read each carefully written nomination letter. Congratulations to each of you and THANK YOU for your contributions to our Wolf Pack!

Students did an amazing job of listening respectfully and taking notes as Warren Seyler presented about Native American Tribal History and Culture. It was in incredible experience to get to hear his perspective and knowledge about area tribes.
