East Omak Elementary’s 5th grade hosted a Cinco de Mayo celebration honoring our community’s Hispanic people. This event introduced students to the Hispanic culture in an engaging and entertaining way. Students experienced authentic Hispanic traditions as well as cuisine! Students enjoyed presentations by local community members Monica & Pablo Ibarra and their daughter Perla. Adamarys Montoya was also in attendance, wearing authentic folkloric regalia to exhibit her family’s dancing tradition. Each classroom offered a different educational experience, such as creating Hispanic art, displaying museum artifacts, viewing agricultural connections, and enjoying traditional meal offerings. Students responded positively to the event, and all involved wanted to see it repeated annually.
Teacher Appreciation Week

East students meet weekly for an Afterschool Garden Club! Mr. and Mrs. Agee are leading students through garden bed preparation for vegetables and creating a worm bin.
Mrs. Agee’s 4th-grade classroom was converted into a Reading Skills Surgery Clinic to prepare for the Smarter Balanced State Assessment. Students were tasked with dressing like surgeons and, in surgical units, required to read various passages about the human body and answer questions based on different reading skill targets. Once their response was correct, they tried operating on the patient (Operation game). If the surgery was successful. They received an X-ray of their patient and charted whether it was a healthy or an unhealthy X-ray in their paperwork. If the operation was unsuccessful, they were required to report to their supervisor for an incident report question about the passage and try again. The end goal was to create a diagnosis based on the tests assigned to their patient. Mrs. Agee received the donated gowns, gloves, and surgery caps from Mid Valley Hospital. Students had a blast and found the task engaging and challenging.
Students in East's Afterschool Native Enrichment class are learning to bead. Taught by East’s Counselor, Katie Abrahamson, this class focuses on reading traditional stories, making snacks of natural foods, and beading keychains for Mother's Day projects. Project helpers include Miranda Miller, Talei Abrahamson, and Airion Andrews. We are so grateful!

Omak High School FFA Annual Plant Sale
Lunch Hero Appreciation Day
On Thursday, March 21, East Omak Elementary held its annual school spelling bee. 13 classes held classroom bees to determine a winner and an alternate, who was then recommended to the school-wide Bee. Students from 3rd -5th grade participated and competed against one another. After fifteen hard-won rounds, 5th grader Desmond Truitt was victorious for the second year in a row, spelling the word DELIBERATELY correctly. 4th grader Meleah Giles took 2nd place, and 5th grader Cesar Cajija took 3rd place. These students worked hard and studied; we could not be prouder of their master spelling skills. The other participants in the Bee were Rory Miller, Kaia Ortuno, Lilyanne Sherwood, Brittany Klett, Acacia Duran, Kynnedi O’Dell, Kasen Bessette, Diesel Huston, and Max Espino. We are so proud of their hard work and perseverance!
There was a great turnout of family and friends to cheer these amazing spellers on.
We are excited about the prospect of an even larger pool of contestants next year, and we encourage all students to consider participating in this exciting event!
