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! 💚🖤🤍

💚🤝 TEAMWORK IN ACTION! 🤝💚
There were plenty of smiles, a little friendly competition, and a whole lot of determination during Ms. Burnett's Leadership and Learning class with our middle school students!
Students put their team-building and problem-solving skills to the test with a challenge that sounds simple: How many pieces of paper can you get to stay between two team members? Of course, there were a few rules to make things interesting!
Teams had to communicate, think creatively, adjust their strategies, and work together as they tried to find the best way to add just one more piece.
The smiles in these pictures show how much fun they were having, but we especially love seeing the focus, effort, and determination they brought to the challenge.
Learning to work together is an important skill, and sometimes the best learning comes with a lot of laughter along the way! 💚🖤🤍

🏈💚 BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION OF RANGERS! 💚🏈
We love seeing our Selkirk High School football players giving back to the community! Several of our athletes are volunteering their time to help with the local flag football program for elementary-age players.
Our younger athletes get the chance to learn new skills from the big kids they see out on the field on Friday nights, while our high school players get an opportunity to step into a new role as mentors and leaders.
This is what being a Ranger is all about: sharing your skills, supporting your community, and helping the next generation grow.
Great job to our high school athletes for stepping up and helping build the future of Ranger athletics! 💚🖤🤍

🚒💚 PRACTICING SAFETY AT SELKIRK SCHOOLS 💚🚒
Today, students and staff at both Selkirk school buildings spent some time practicing an important skill: being prepared for an emergency.
We conducted fire drills and practiced evacuating our buildings safely and efficiently, so everyone knows what to do and where to go if a real emergency ever occurs.
We were also joined by Pend Oreille County Fire, who came out in force to coordinate with our schools and make sure our procedures and practices work together with those of our local first responders. 🚒
We’re grateful for community partners who are always willing to show up, work alongside us, and help make our schools safe places for Ranger Learners to learn and grow.

📣💚 RANGER SPIRIT IS BACK! 💚📣
Today at Selkirk Middle/High School, we held our first pep assembly of the year, and our Rangers brought plenty of energy!
Our ASB officers, led by President Tristan VanArsdall and Vice President Morgan Hendershott, organized and ran the assembly, kicking things off with a tug-of-war challenge. Four mixed teams made up of athletes from high school football, high school volleyball, and middle school volleyball battled it out for bragging rights. Check out the photos and you’ll spot the champion team proudly posing with the rope after pulling their way to victory!
Then senior Henry Thompson took on another important job: teaching our younger Rangers one of Selkirk’s classic spirit chants:
Who are the Rangers?
We are the Rangers!
What kind of Rangers?
Mighty Rangers!
R-A-N-G-E-R-S!
Rangers! Rangers! SHS!
For our old-school Rangers, that chant probably brings back some memories. For many of our younger students, it was brand new! We’re working to revive some of those classic Ranger cheers and chants and pass them along to a new generation. Former Rangers, help us out! If you remember a great Selkirk chant or cheer from years past, share it in the comments. We’d love to bring some old favorites back!
It was a great way to introduce and celebrate our fall athletes and send our football players off with plenty of Ranger spirit as the Selport Lumberjacks head to Northport tomorrow, Friday, September 11, to take on the Springdale Chargers.
Great job to our ASB officers for putting together a fun first assembly. Now we’re ready to put those cheers to work all year long! 💚🖤🤍
