Aquaculture students released 75,000 Coho Salmon and 35,000 Steelhead smolts March 28th. The students have carefully taken care of these fish for the past year and the quality of the fish was impressive. The salmon and steelhead smolts will begin their journey down Gheer Creek, eventually making it to the Pacific Ocean where they will spend a few years and then return to exactly where they were released in Gheer Creek.

Seven OMS students attended Water Congress at Evergreen State College and presented information, data, and results from water quality testing done earlier this year by the 6th grade class. They also attended classes to bring learning back to share with their peers!
7th & 8th grade science students participated in the "egg drop" experiment!
This past weekend 44 sixth grade students spent a sunny weekend learning about STEM, forestry, solar energy and tons of other amazing topics all in part to volunteers and the Outdoors Schools Grant.

On Friday, March 15th 2024 our High School Counseling Department hosted the 1st Annual Career On Wheels event. Our students went through four twenty minute sessions with professionals whose careers are on wheels - not your typical in a building at a desk job. Students were able to get first hand information from the professionals themselves. At some stations they were able to get hands-on experience with guidance from the professionals. This event fostered exposure to post-secondary pathways and making direct connections with various professionals within our community.
We would like to extend our gratitude to all those who helped our students gain insight into post-secondary pathways that are not always talked about.
