They began collecting data with the Cascadia Conservation district on the recovery of native plants and the prevalence of invasive plants following the wildfire.

Our 6th graders had a wonderful day at Columbia Breaks Interpretive Center learning about fire ecology, fire behavior, fire suppression, defensible space, and aspects of a healthy forest. We are so lucky to have a facility like this and some of the local experts sharing their knowledge.

🌟 Gateway to Excellence Awards🌟 At today’s School Board meeting, we had the honor of recognizing some incredible partners who go above and beyond for Entiat Schools. 🏆 The City of Entiat received our "Gateway to Excellence" award for their continued support of our district. Under the leadership of Mark Botello, the city crew consistently lends their expertise, equipment, and time to assist our schools. From sanding and plowing our bus lanes and garage routes in the winter, to painting crosswalks and helping with projects we couldn’t tackle alone , their support is truly invaluable. 🌳 We also presented a G"ateway to Excellence" award to Patrick Diehm for his incredible hands-on teaching with our 5th graders during their annual Arbor Day tree planting. His dedication helps bring learning to life in such a meaningful way. As Superintendent Greg Whitmore shared, *“I can’t tell you how appreciative we are of the relationship we share with the City of Entiat. I consider our school the heart of the community, and so it just makes sense that we would do all we can to help each other thrive.” 💛 Next time you see someone from the City of Entiat, please take a moment to thank them for everything they do to support our students, staff, and school community! #EntiatProud #GatewayToExcellence #CommunityPartners #ThankYou
