Over the weekend of September 13-15, Clarkston High School in Clarkston, Washington experienced a security concern. In response to a report of a threat, increased security measures were taken. We applaud the response of the school district in taking steps to protect students, as Mountain View School District continues to hold school security as a priority.
Frustratingly, multiple social media posts were later made that exacerbated the situation and spread concern throughout the Lewis and Clark Valley. Students are encouraged to See, Tell, Now when they have concerns for their safety or the safety of other students. It is important for us to help students understand that the “Tell” portion of that process means telling a parent, trusted adult, and/or school official immediately. Social Media posts from unofficial sources only cause further fear and confusion.
Thank you in advance for working with the District in helping your child understand the importance of following the proper protocols for school safety while not causing further harm in spreading social media rumors.

The watering system at the Idaho County Fair Grounds - the "lickets"- were way too high for the pigs to drink from easily. The 4Hers worried about their pigs getting enough water.
For years, there has been discussion about moving the "lickets" This summer students from the GHS Ag class took on this public service project. We look forward to less worries at the fair.
Upcoming Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors - you are invited! Homeschoolers - think about joining choir next school year! Come to the CONCERT CHOIR FIRE!
