On Thursday, February 1st Josie Dickey and Raina McAllister competed in the District 8 FFA Extemporaneous Public Speaking event. They were expected to get assigned a topic, research the topic and prepare a speech in just 20 minutes. They then presented their speech to judges followed up with questions from the judges. They both did great in the first round! Raina McAllister earned a 3rd place standing at the district level and will next be competing at Washington State FFA Convention in May! Great job ladies!

Staff and Families,
This morning at approximately 8:00am, law enforcement received a report of a threat of harm directed toward a student at Henkle Middle School. Out of an abundance of caution our school district quickly implemented our safety procedures and secured students and staff safely inside buildings while suspending access to facilities. This “soft lock-down” is in place at Columbia High School, Henkle Middle School and Wallace and Priscilla Stevenson Intermediate School.
Law enforcement arrived within minutes and are working with school administration to determine the credibility of the threat.
We will share more information with families and staff as it becomes available; not later than 9:30am.
Thank you for your understanding.
Rich Polkinghorn, Superintendent
