Our 1st graders celebrated Better World Day by planting flowers with a purpose! These beautiful plants will be gifted to people in our community as a gesture of kindness and appreciation. Big hearts and green thumbs!
Our kindergarteners added a splash of color to Better World Day by painting rocks! These cheerful creations will be placed around to brighten someone’s day and spread a little joy in our community.
Our 4th graders spent their Better World Day giving love and care to animals in need at the Colville Valley Animal Sanctuary! 🐾 From walking dogs to helping with chores, they made a difference for our furry friends and learned the power of compassion.
Our 2nd graders took Better World Day to new heights—literally! They built bat houses to support local wildlife and help keep our ecosystem balanced. What a creative and caring way to make our community better!
Our 3rd graders spent Better World Day getting their hands dirty for a great cause—planting trees at the fish hatchery! Their efforts will help restore habitat and protect our natural environment for years to come.
A big thank you to the Kettle Falls High School Jazz Band for visiting and performing for our students! Their talent and energy had our kids swaying in their seats and grooving along. It’s always awesome to see our older Bulldogs inspiring the younger ones! #KFBulldogs #BulldogPride #MusicMatters
Our 2nd graders have been busy combining creativity with math by making paper quilts!
This fun and hands-on activity helps students build important skills like measuring, recognizing shapes, identifying patterns, and understanding fractions—all key parts of our 2nd grade math standards. While it may look like just arts and crafts, students are deepening their understanding of geometry and how parts make up a whole.
We love seeing math come to life in such a fun and meaningful way!
Big shoutout to our incredible Elementary PTO, Columbia Cedar, and the Kettle Falls High School shop class!
Thanks to their partnership, every grade level at Kettle Falls Elementary now has their very own raised garden bed! The PTO secured wood donations from Columbia Cedar, and our talented high school students brought the project to life by building the beds for our students.
These raised beds will give our kids hands-on opportunities to learn about plant life, responsibility, teamwork, and healthy eating—all while getting their hands in the dirt and having fun outdoors. We can’t wait to see what they grow!

Check out this awesome pixel-style flower created by one of our talented 4th grade students in Ms. Franko's class! Students used geometry and creativity to design their own "geoart" masterpieces. We love seeing math and art come together in such a fun and colorful way!
Our 4th grade students did an amazing job presenting their state research projects to the 2nd grade classes! Each student became an expert on a U.S. state and shared fun facts, maps, and key highlights with their younger peers.
This project not only helped them dig deep into geography and research skills, but also gave them a chance to practice speaking and presenting in front of an audience. We’re so proud of their hard work!
Our 2nd graders had a fantastic Adventure bike ride at Old Kettle! This trip was all about learning outside the classroom—building confidence, practicing bike safety, and exploring the natural world around us. Plus, it was a great way to stay active and enjoy some physical fitness in the fresh air!
Our 3rd graders recently took on an exciting challenge at Wild Walls in Spokane! Students had the opportunity to experience rock climbing, where they demonstrated courage, focus, and teamwork.
In the photo, you can see some of our students gearing up and strategizing before their climb. Outfitted with harnesses, they studied the climbing routes and encouraged one another. This adventure not only promoted physical activity but also helped build confidence and problem-solving skills.
We're proud of their perseverance and positive attitudes throughout the day. Way to go, 3rd grade!
Our students had a blast in PE today with relay races! Not only did they get to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine, but they also practiced teamwork, perseverance, and staying active.
Regular exercise is key to a healthy lifestyle, and activities like running help improve endurance, coordination, and overall well-being. Plus, it’s a fun way to build friendships and encourage each other to keep moving!
Way to go, students—keep up the great work!
Our students have been hard at work in Art class, creating their very own maracas! Using a mix of recycled materials, paint, and plenty of creativity, they are bringing these musical instruments to life. 🎶
Not only are they learning about artistic techniques and color blending, but they’re also exploring rhythm and sound through hands-on crafting. We love seeing their excitement as they design, paint, and personalize their maracas.
Great job, young artists! We can’t wait to hear the finished products in action! 👏✨
