Grangeville Elementary/Middle School

Mrs. Wasem second graders & Ms. Devon Suzette’s fourth graders got together today to share tall tales as the second graders are studying tall tales with amplified. The fourth graders had a great time reading with the second grade students.

This fall has been busy. Our fourth graders had fun learning about "old time" ranger skills at the Lochsa Historic Ranger Station.

Blues is at the core of all modern American music. Except for Native American music, the blues is the first pure American music to have developed in this country. As blues musician and songwriter Willie Dixon says so succinctly: “Blues is the roots and everything else is the fruits.” It comes from the oral tradition of folk music and as such reflects the issues and feelings of the people playing and singing it. In this way it is the history of those who produced it. Through the blues, students can feel what happened in those times and through reflection and discussion, can see how those lessons pertain today.

We are excited to have Blues in the School, an educational outreach program of the Idaho Blues Society, coming to the schools in Mountain View School District 244.

Come meet your student’s teachers. Check out the classroom and get ready for the first day of school. This is a great opportunity to drop off supplies and middle school students can get lockers assignments.

What do teachers do when all the kids leave on the last day? We clean up along the highway! Happy Summer everyone!

On June 4th, our amazing 2nd- and 3rd-grade students took a field trip to Fish Creek Campground, where they rotated through six interactive stations: Pelts and Tracks, Leave No Trace, Plant Identification, Campfire Safety, Compasses, and Shelters. Students learned important wilderness safety and conservation skills—all while enjoying the great outdoors! This unforgettable experience was made possible by a generous grant awarded to the 2nd- and 3rd-grade teachers through the Grangeville Community Foundation. 🌟 A huge thank you to those who made the experience a success: the dedicated volunteers from our community, the United States Forest Service, and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game. 👏 Cody & Sara Vrieling 👏 Shawn Wolter & Michael Pfefferkorn 👏 Steve Wassmuth 👏 Brett Rogers 👏 Janelle Nelson 👏 Amanda Maki 👏 Melissa Orgish We are so grateful for your time, expertise, and passion for outdoor education!
