Mrs. Sage's class was the second group to enjoy Swan Lake. 3rd Graders got to explore the forest by studying core samples of trees, examining the different soils that make up the forest floor, and learning about the local wildlife by examining animal skulls. After a quick snack break, the students went for a walk around the lake. We would like to thank the Republic Ranger District for their assistance in organizing this adventure and the parent volunteers who are willing to join us on the ROAR adventures.
The Spooky Walk-a-Thon for Republic Elementary (K-6th Grades) is taking place tomorrow. Family and community members are encouraged to attend and support the elementary students as we raise additional funds to help with the increasing transportation costs required for the ROAR program.
The elementary classes have been divided into two walking periods:
- 4th-6th grade will walk from 8:30-9:30
- Kindergarten-3rd grade will walk from 10:00-10:30
Students will be allowed to change into a Halloween costume before their scheduled time.
Individual students in each class who complete the most laps will be awarded prizes, and the class that raises the most money will receive a pizza party.
Students are advised not to bring their pledge sheets and donations to the Spooky Walk-a-Thon until after the event. All donations should be submitted to the elementary office before October 31st.

This week, Mrs. Starr's 2nd grade class went on a ROAR adventure to Swan Lake to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and the October colors. The students had a great time digging in the dirt to examine different layers of the forest soil and learning about different tree species. They also had a chance to study the life cycle of a tree by boring into it. Finally, the students were able to study different animal skulls to determine if they were herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores. To end the day students were led on a botany walk around Swan Lake. The ROAR program would like to thank the Republic Ranger District for their help in making this trip a wonderful learning opportunity for the students of Republic Elementary.
The Homecoming Parade is scheduled for 4:00 pm today!
This is different from what was previously posted at 4:30 pm

Parents, Guardians, and Community Members:
While conducting patrols of the parking lot at lunch time I noticed what appeared to be a weapon in the back seat of a student vehicle. I immediately notified the District Office and contacted dispatch to have an officer report to the school. Once the officer arrived, I conducted a search of the vehicle.
I was able to determine that the weapon was a plastic Air Soft rifle. The item was collected from the student's vehicle, and the situation was dealt with safely and correctly.
If you have questions, please feel free to reach out to us.
Best,
Loren Finley

This week's ROAR adventures brought Kindergarten and 1st Grade to Big Tree Botanical forest walk where students walked to a 900 year old larch tree, learned about different types of tree species, and were surprised by a visit from Smokey the Bear. After the short walk, students were taken to Lost Lake campground where they explored around the campground looking for interesting crawly things .
A big thank you goes out to the Tonasket Ranger District and Fire Crew for joining us on our adventure.
