Selkirk School District

The 2025 middle school Halloween dance is in the books! Students had a great time dancing and playing games. Take a look at this assortment of cool costumes. These were the costume contest winners, but they were just a small sample of the many creative costumes from the evening!

The Homecoming court represented Selkirk in style! Blake Reed and Marisa Lyons took home the titles of King and Queen. The Freshmen won the spirit week competition. With that, the high schoolers are off to the dance and a great Homecoming week comes to a close!

Power Week was a huge success! On Monday, we served 192 slices of pizza courtesy of the local employees of Boundary Power House. Friday night we served up 204 burgers and 100 hotdogs courtesy of Pend Oreille Public Utility District. Halftime entertainment was provided by the flag football players, and we even had a visit from Watt. A huge thank you goes to PUD, Boundary Dam employees, the Food Court, and all the staff and community members who made this happen!

Selkirk is a proud member of Washington's Farm to School Program, a WSDA organized program that fosters relationships between school food services and local farms. October 6th-9th is Farm to School Week at Selkirk, and we are pairing with nearby farms to supply the lunch program with fresh, healthy meat & produce for our students. Each day our talented cooks will be serving up fantastic breakfasts and lunches featuring these local products. It’s going to be a delicious week!

Show your Ranger Pride! The Selkirk volleyball team is hosting theme nights for home games this fall. Come dressed in the theme of the game and support the girls. Admission is by donation, and the girls love seeing you all there and cheering them on to victory. The next game is on Saturday - a double header facing Curlew at noon and Republic at 4pm. Show up looking like a tourist in your best tropical gear!
