Our Leadership Class hosted their annual Community 101 Grant Night—an inspiring evening dedicated to giving back. Through Community 101, our students serve as a mini-foundation, identifying local needs and awarding grant funds to area non-profits.

This program goes beyond the classroom, giving students hands-on experience in philanthropy, teamwork, and civic engagement as they manage and distribute real dollars to make a real difference.

We’re proud of the thoughtfulness, leadership, and commitment our students showed tonight in supporting our community.

Our talented band and choir students are headed to the Oregon School Activities Association State competition at Oregon State University on May 7 & 15!

Their hard work, dedication, and countless hours of practice have truly paid off.

These students have represented our school with excellence all season long, and now they’ll take the stage among the best in the state. Let’s cheer them on as they showcase their incredible talent and school pride!

Good luck at State—your community is behind you every step of the way! 🎼👏

Our science classes took learning beyond the classroom and into the field with a trip to the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve

Students rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty helping plant trees as part of an important habitat restoration effort. Not only did they learn firsthand about ecosystems and conservation, but they also made a real impact on our local environment.

Last week our 7th/8th grade leadership students attended a Leadership Conference in Seaside, OR. They got a lot of great ideas on leadership activities to bring back to our campus and also worked on growing their leadership skills. We are proud of this hard working bunch.

Our 5th grade class recently visited Sunset State Park. They spent the day hiking and learning about our local eco system.

Today was our annual Coos Curry Electic STEM fair. Congratulations to the winners.
