By Angela D. Hi Friends! This year our school has two teachers retiring! You are gonna cry when you hear! Mrs. Donna Strickler and Mrs. Luann Nedrow. They have been teaching here for a long time! They have almost always taught the younger kids here, most of their time. Information has reveled that Mrs. Nedrow taught at Holy Family school before she became a Grizzly. Mrs. Strickler taught Special Educa-tion when she first started teaching. Mrs. Nedrow has even taught a combo 1st, 2nd, & 3rd grade class with Miss Scher when she was teaching here. And she has taught a 2nd,3rd & 4th grade combo class too! Mrs. Strickler has taught combined class’ also, a 1st/2nd combo class. They have been the best teachers here for our kids and they have now even taught the children of some of their first students! We want to wish them the very best as they retire and we hope that we will see them once in a while! Yeah, they can sub! That would be neat! We love you two teachers and are really going to miss you! “Thanks Mrs. Strickler for being my 2nd grade teacher!” This is Angels D. with your Grizzly Kids News front page headline! Happy summer everyone!

The 4th, 5th & 6th grades in the

whole school district have a

track meet at the end of the school year! We train and

learn what and how to do with our P.E. teachers. Then

we all came together at the meet on May 31st @ the

CHS Track & Field. It is very exciting and scary! I think our

school did good this year! Here are some pictures of us

Aquatic Center! By Jaiden B.

Did you know that we get to go to the Aquatic Center for a P.E. class?

Well yes we do! The 2nd graders got to go there earlier this year to do

swim lessons for several weeks so this is a good time for them to also

practice what they learned! We all

have great fun of course and it was a

bit chili but we are Grizzlies-we are

tough! Here are some great pictures

Mr. Josh took of us! That’s me in the

upper right corner! I had a blast! JB

Where Are They Now! by Angela D.

We Just had a recent visit from the 2018 Clarkston Graduates! We lined up in the main all and outside to congratulate them all! It was a really nice procession! We asked the Grantham Graduates to stand by the Grizzly Rock and get their picture! It was a great visit by the Grads!

It is the 2nd to the last day of

school and we all were into the

world of FLIGHT! Each class did

an art project that had to do with

flight. Whether it be Wind Socks,

Hot Air Balloons, Butterfly’s ,

Kites or a plane! Mrs. Thompson

taught all the students the song:

Let’s Go Fly a Kite the last couple

of weeks and then we assembled in the gym, in the

Very DARK, DARK gym

and we turned our

lights on our butter-

flies, Hot Air Balloons

and Wind Socks (it

looked so cool!) and

we sang our song! Then we went outside and had a popsi-

cle. And several teachers flew their kites! It was Awesome!

Pop Tabs

Pull the tab off your can, put it in a small container or zip lock bag & put the can in a bigger plastic sack, save up & turn them in, to your teacher. Mrs. Heath col-lects the whole can for cash & it goes towards the annual Snake River boat trip for 5th graders. And of course, Mrs. Nedrow takes the pop tabs to the Ronald McDonald house. So let’s help the families who need the Ronald McDonald House of the Inland Northwest to be near their children in a hospital situation and help our school in this easy fund raiser! It is an easy Act of Kindness! :)

Get to collecting!!!
