Principal’s Message:
As we settle into October, I want to take a moment to reflect on something that can easily get lost in the busyness of our days: finding joy in the little things.

School is about so much more than academics. It is about relationships, connections, growth, and helping young people discover who they are and who they want to become. Some of the most meaningful moments happen in the simplest ways: a student finding success after struggling, a new friendship forming, a kind word from a classmate, or a teacher recognizing a student who needed a little extra encouragement.

Of course, not every day is easy. Our students face challenges, make mistakes, and sometimes struggle to navigate the ups and downs of growing up. As adults, we have the opportunity to remind them that a difficult day does not define who they are or what they are capable of becoming. Every day offers a fresh start and another opportunity to grow.

I encourage our families to take a moment this week to ask your student about something good that happened during their day. Celebrate the small victories, encourage them through the challenges, and remind them that they are valued, supported, and capable of great things.

When our students feel connected, encouraged, and know they belong, wonderful things can happen.
Thank you for continuing to partner with us and for being part of a school community that cares deeply about our kids.

Warmly,
Teresa Burns

Here's what's new with our Student Assistant Professional's!

Services update from Skamania County Community Health:

We are excited to announce that the Hegewald Center has recently started offering mental health services for youth with private insurance. It’s essential for young people to understand that seeking support is not only acceptable but also a courageous step toward nurturing their mental and emotional well-being. Counseling provides a safe and supportive environment where youth can openly discuss their challenges, develop coping skills, and learn healthy strategies to navigate life’s ups and downs. Mental health plays a vital role in overall well-being, making these services a valuable resource for youth and families in our community.
