Bite2Go: Nourishing Our Students Beyond the Classroom
At Kettle Falls, supporting our students means caring for the whole child—both inside and outside the classroom. Through our valued partnership with Second Harvest in Spokane, our district’s Bite2Go program helps ensure that children have access to healthy, easy-to-prepare meal bags over the weekend so they can return to school on Monday rested, nourished, and ready to learn. Currently, this vital program serves 40 families across our district, offering a reliable bridge of support each week.
This seamless support is made possible through the dedicated work of our school counselors. Serving as the "boots on the ground" for Bite2Go, our counselors carefully coordinate the weekly logistics, discreetly distribute the food bags, and ensure that every student in need is connected to these resources. We are deeply grateful for their heart, vigilance, and commitment to taking care of our kids and families.

Big News & Bright Starts at the Early Learning Center!
The school year is off to an incredible start! Thanks to our commitment to high-quality early education, our center was awarded nearly $9,000 in classroom and playground upgrades through the Imagine Institute pilot program over the last year.
Highlights of our new, state-of-the-art learning environments include:
The Book Nook Tree & Quiet Corner Tube: Spaces designed for early literacy and self-regulation.
Expanded Outdoor Play: Upgraded gear for four-square, sandbox discovery, and dramatic play that builds active teamwork.
Because of this innovation, our center was chosen as one of only five state programs to be featured in a statewide Imagine Institute video!
Investing in Every Child & Family
Through a new grant, we also added specialized AAC communication tools and PECS so every student has a voice. Plus, our new Social-Emotional Curriculum—paired with a parent app for learning at home—is helping students build the focus and behavior skills they need for kindergarten readiness.
Thank you to our amazing teachers, families and the community for supporting our community’s youngest learners!

☀️ Summer Fun is in Full Swing at the ELC! ☀️
We are having the absolute best summer making memories, exploring new ideas, and enjoying the beautiful weather! Here’s a little peek into what our amazing kiddos have been up to lately:
🎨 Chalk Masterpieces & Outdoor Play: Our days are filled with fresh air, laughter, and a whole lot of color. The kids have been turning our sidewalks into their own personal art galleries with some amazing sidewalk chalk creations!
🏃♂️ Room 2 is On the Move: Our Room 2 friends have been diving into a unit all about exercise and keeping our bodies healthy. To put their learning into action, they tackled a custom-built outdoor obstacle course. There was jumping, balancing, and a whole lot of cheering each other on! After the exercise they spend time resting on the grass looking for shapes in the clouds.
🐚 Deep Sea Discoveries: Our school-age crew is exploring the wonders of the ocean this summer! They’ve been learning all about fascinating sea life and even got to tap into their creative sides by painting beautiful, unique seashells.
📚 A Very Special Library Trip: All of our ELC kids got to visit the library for a super exciting, special storytime to celebrate our country's big 250th birthday! 🇺🇸✨
🌳 Tree Ring Science: On another trip to the library, our school-age kiddos also got to take a deep dive into learning about trees. They acted like real scientists, studying tree rings to discover how old a tree is and what its life was like through history.
We are so proud of how hard our campers are playing, learning, and growing together.

More Than Just a Classroom: Strengthening Our Bonds Through Family Engagement
At KFELC, we believe that education is a team effort. While the learning that happens each day is vital, the magic truly happens when we open our doors to the families who make our community whole. Recently, we’ve seen firsthand how Family Engagement creates a supportive, joyful environment for our students to thrive.
Celebrating Friendship and Creativity
Over in Ms. Amanda’s class, love was in the air during our Valentine’s Day celebration. Family members joined us for an afternoon of heartfelt connection, where students exchanged valentines and got creative with cookie-decorating. These moments allow parents to see their children’s social worlds up close, turning a simple school party into a cherished family memory.
Sweet Starts & St. Paddy’s Fun
In Ms. Cassy’s class, we recently hosted "Pastries with Parents" during morning drop-off. There is no better way to start the day than with a doughnut and a smile! After enjoying some treats, parents stayed to dive into festive St. Patrick’s Day activities with their children. Seeing parents and students collaborate on crafts before we started our daily routines reminded us that a little extra time together can set the tone for a week of success.
Why It Matters
When families are involved, students feel a greater sense of belonging and pride in their school. These events aren’t just about doughnuts or cookies; they are about:
Building Trust: Creating open lines of communication between teachers and parents.
Modeling Connection: Showing our students that their education is valued by the most important people in their lives.
Creating Memories: Making school a place of joy and community.
We want to extend a huge thank you to every parent and guardian who took the time to join us. Your presence makes our school a brighter place!
