🐸💚 LEARNING COMES TO LIFE AT BOX CANYON DAM! 💚🐸
Earlier this week, Ms. DeGeest’s third grade class took their science learning out of the classroom and into the field with a trip to Box Canyon Dam, operated by the Pend Oreille Public Utility District!
Third graders have been studying animal adaptations, learning how animals have special features that help them survive in their environments. For the culminating experience of their unit, students visited the dam to catch, observe, and learn about some of the creatures that live there.
They even put their engineering skills to work by designing frog traps and testing their creations in hopes of catching a frog!
The field trip was facilitated by Dr. Sean Kinard, who helped give our students the opportunity to connect what they’ve been learning in class with the living world right here in our own community.
A big thank you to Box Canyon Dam and the Pend Oreille PUD for hosting our third graders and providing another great hands-on learning experience for our Ranger Learners! 💚🖤🤍

🔦💚 ROLLING WITH THE CONSTRUCTION HICCUPS! 💚🔦
With all the construction happening at Selkirk High School this year, we’re getting plenty of opportunities to practice one important skill: being adaptable!
Today, we lost a breaker that affected the lights in the office and staff room area. Did it slow us down? Barely! An extension cord and a work light had us back in business in no time.
There may have even been one unexpected construction perk: staff got to enjoy lunch by candlelight! 🕯️ Who knew construction could bring a little ambiance to the staff room?
With a major building project happening around us, we know there will be a few surprises along the way. We’ll keep adjusting, problem-solving, and finding the humor where we can.
Here’s hoping all of this year’s construction hiccups are this easy to roll with! 💚🖤🤍

📣💚 RANGER SPIRIT WAS LOUD AND PROUD TODAY! 💚📣
Selkirk Middle/High School held our second pep rally of the year today, and the enthusiasm was a cut above! Our ASB officers are working hard to pump up school spirit, and they’re planning to make pep rallies a more regular part of the year. Judging by the cheering and encouragement today, the Rangers are ready for it!
ASB President Tristan VanArsdall kicked things off with reminders about all of our upcoming games before Senior Henry Thompson took the floor to review the classic “Who Are the Rangers?” chant with the crowd. With football headed to Curlew tomorrow, there was plenty to cheer about!
Then it was time for some friendly competition! Students from every grade took part in a spirited relay featuring a three-legged race, wheelbarrow race, and back-to-back ball race. There was some impressive athleticism, some creative teamwork, and plenty of hilarious moments along the way. In the end, the Sophomores claimed the victory!
We wrapped things up by adding another cheer to our Ranger repertoire. The volleyball team introduced the crowd to a new chant, led by Deleasia O’Donnell and Alyxis Cordova, and everyone joined in.
It was a great afternoon of laughter, competition, and school spirit. ASB has set a goal of bringing even more Ranger pride to Selkirk this year, and today’s rally was another great step in that direction! 💚🖤🤍

🐔💚 JUST ANOTHER DAY AT SELKIRK… 💚🐔
Here’s an event at Selkirk High School we definitely didn’t see coming!
At the end of the day today, students spotted a free-ranging hen wandering the school grounds. Apparently, this little lady has been making occasional appearances for the past month or so, somehow managing to evade predators and live off the land like a true Pend Oreille County survivalist.
Today, her solo adventure finally came to an end when a couple of intrepid students jumped into action. Riggin and Eileen Davis were on the job and successfully captured our feathered visitor. They report that she is an absolute sweetheart!
She’s now headed to a safe home with other birds for company, which we have to assume will be quite an upgrade from the solitary wilderness lifestyle she’s been leading.
If you recognize her or know where she may have come from, let us know! For now, though, we’re happy to report that Selkirk’s mystery chicken is safe, well cared for, and no longer living life on the run. 💚🖤🤍

🌽💚 LEARNING, COOKING & CONNECTING AT SELKIRK! 💚🌽
Miss Kiss’s 5th grade class has been learning about agriculture across the United States, including the importance of corn in Native American cultures. Today, they brought that learning to life with a trip to the high school!
The 5th graders joined Mrs. Cain’s Food Science students in the kitchen, where the older students helped them make cornbread. It was a great opportunity to connect what they’ve been learning in the classroom with a hands-on experience, while also bringing students from different grade levels and subject areas together.
We love seeing our students learning from one another and making connections across grades and subjects. And we can’t help but think about the possibilities ahead. Just imagine how many more opportunities like this we’ll have when all of our students are together on one campus next year!
Exciting things are happening at Selkirk, and there’s even more to look forward to! 💚🖤🤍

5th grade scientists have been learning about plant and animals structures in science. Last Thursday, they dissected squid! They observed the external structures that make squid unique and were able to dissect their specimen to see how the internal structures of squid operate. Next, they will explore the parts of cow eyeballs and discuss how eyes work. Later, they will dissect flowers to study the internal structures of plants.
😎💚 MEET YOUR 2026–27 SELKIRK ASB EXECUTIVE OFFICERS! 💚😎
Our Selkirk ASB Executive Officers are ready to make this a great year for all students at Selkirk Middle/High School!
Leading the way this year are President Tristan VanArsdall, Vice President Morgan Hendershott, Secretary Mattie Hendershott, Treasurer Cassie Banda, and Co-Treasurer Grace West.
Today, the group traveled with Ms. VanDyke to Spokane Community College for training on ASB rules, responsibilities, and finances. But this crew managed to fit plenty into the day! They also spent time planning for Homecoming and our next school pep rally, coming up this Thursday. And, of course, no trip to Spokane would be complete without a stop for some food and a chance to pose for a picture in some pretty cool shades. 😎
This bright and energetic group has two big goals guiding its work this year: increasing student voice in school governance decisions and pumping up Ranger spirit!
They’re already putting in the work, generating ideas, and looking for ways to make ASB truly represent and serve the students of Selkirk Middle/High School.
We’re excited to see what this team accomplishes in 2026–27! 💚🖤🤍
