Hello Wishram Friends and Families,
This coming Monday, October 14th is Indigenous Peoples' Day. It is a holiday in the United States that celebrates the history and contributions of Native Americans and has been federally recognized since 2021.
Next week on Thursday, October 17th from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm we are hosting our Parent and Family Engagement Night. Make sure you stop by as there will be fun activities, a popcorn bar, and pizza for dinner all at no cost to you.
It's hard to believe that we're already into October. Our ASB in partnership with REACH is planning to host a Halloween Carnival on Thursday, October 31st. They are looking for donations of candy and prizes for this event.
Starting next week, our school nurse will be coming on Mondays instead of Thursdays.
Just a reminder, Wishram School has a Facebook Page. You can use this page to see what's happening here at Wishram School.

We had our Program Committee meeting right after school. One of the big things we discussed was our Breakfast After The Bell (BAB) program. We do have a grab-and-go breakfast that our kids can get if they are late to school or missed the regular morning breakfast. This normally consists of a granola bar, fruit, string cheese, and milk. We've learned that federal regulations do not allow kids to have both a regular breakfast and a BAB and that kids who do grab a BAB must eat that in the classroom.
Our JH Football team hosted So. Wasco and boy them So. Wasco kids are big. I might have to send a note to their admin to find out what they are feeding their boys over there. We did not pull off a victory, but it was still fun to watch our kids perform. Even though our boys were outsized, they played hard until the end.

Tim Curran who is the Juvenile Probation Counselor was here to introduce himself to Mr. Cameron and go over the services his department can help with. Tim has always been really good to work with.
JH Volleyball traveled to Klickitat. They did not pull off a win, but they played a great game and had fun as well.

A student advisor from Eastern Oregon was here meeting with several of our high school students.
JH Football hosted Ione/Arlington. Our teams played modified games to get all of our 5th and 6th-grade football players some playtime. It was great watching all the young kids who don't get much playing time.
JH Volleyball hosted Bickleton. Our JH volleyball team won the first set but lost the next two. They played hard and the games were close. Great job ladies.
