A NOTE FROM DR. CHURCH

Dear Totem Falls Families,


I wanted to share with you that at our staff meeting this week I let our Totem Falls team know that I plan on retiring at the end of the year. This was not an easy decision, as I have loved serving this community over the last three years. It has been a privilege to serve as your principal and to watch your children learn and grow. There will be a process the school district will begin soon to select the next principal. It has been an honor getting to know parents/guardians, staff, students and families, and I am sure the next principal will recognize what a great school this is as well.

HIGH TREK ADVENTURES READING CHALLENGE: Month of March

Our friends at High Trek Adventures understand how important it is to be encouraging young

people to develop strong reading habits. They also know the value of getting the youth outside to enjoy the beautiful PNW. With that in mind, they have partnered with us to offer a voucher for those who complete 8 hours of recreational reading minutes during the month of March.


Students can earn a voucher for one of their locations in the surrounding area. Please see the

attached Reading Log for more information about High Trek Adventures and the vouchers they will be offering.


The Read 4 Adventure program will run through the month of March. Have your student record their minutes on the Reading Log as they go. The goal is 480 minutes! Then beginning April 1st, you can submit your student’s minutes and voucher request online using the Student Submission Link on the Reading Log. Contact your teacher or Read 4 Adventure Program Coordinator with any questions. Happy Reading!
