Volunteers from the Colville DNR visited CHS today and taught Forestry students how to deploy a fire shelter. Fire shelters are used by wildland firefighters as a last resort for survival when they are trapped by flames with no way out. We are thankful to those who volunteer their time for our students!

Each academic quarter, Colville High School rewards students who received all B's or better on their quarter report card with a special celebration we call the "B or Better Bash". This year's bash for the first quarter was "B or Better Bingo". 140 students were invited to the bash. They gathered in the gym, enjoyed music, snacks, played bingo, and won prizes! Great work Hawks!

Colville High School sent two teams to the FFA Potato Judging contest in Moses Lake this week. Students who participate develop the ability to evaluate potato products to optimize economic returns for producers and industry, as well as meeting customer needs. FFA members take a written exam that tests their knowledge of potato storage, grading, pests and diseases. Members will identify potato varieties as they become not only better agriculturalists but also better consumers. Our students participated against 198 individuals and a total of 43 teams. Payton Emra placed 10th and Kylee Dyar placed 3rd individually. Colville 1 placed 7th and Colville 2 placed 36th in the team division. Way to go Hawks!
