🚴♂️ Exciting News at East Omak Elementary! 🚴♀️
Our 3rd-5th graders are participating in the Let’s Go Bicycle curriculum, learning valuable pedestrian and bicycle safety skills with Mr. Agee! We are grateful for this opportunity which is funded through a grant from the Department of Transportation. From understanding traffic signals to safe riding techniques, these students are becoming confident and responsible riders. Every day, more of our kids are making the leap from being striders to riders!
We’re so proud of their progress and can’t wait to see them safely enjoying the great outdoors!

East students earn Your Rock tickets for following our school wide rules which are Show Respect, Solve Problems, Make Good Decisions, and Be Safe. Each week the school counselor, Ms. Katie, draws several students from each grade level. Often times students can choose from prizes from our school store that is largely funded by the Omak Parent Lighthouse Team. This week students got to go to East's school garden to pick out a pumpkin to take home! What a treat!
Many thanks to all who came to clean up East's school garden. Every student took home a pumpkin! We look forward to spring when the After School Garden Club will begin under the guidance of Mr. And Mrs. Agee.

Custodian Appreciation Day
Teachers Melissa Omer and Joneen Ingram, who recently led an exciting and impactful training session for staff on the RACES strategy for writing constructed responses! This fantastic method helps students craft organized, thorough answers by guiding them to restate the question, answer it, cite evidence from the text, explain their reasoning, and summarize their response. It’s an incredible tool for building strong writing skills across the board! Plus, Melissa and Joneen took it a step further by providing grade-specific resources to ensure alignment and continuity throughout all grade levels. Their dedication to supporting both students and staff is truly inspiring. Keep up the amazing work, Melissa and Joneen! #EastOmakElementary #TeacherLeaders #WritingSkills #RACESstrategy
