Yesterday was Taste WA Day. Leading up to this event, our FFA students researched foods produced in Washington and prepared samples. During the event in the gym, the FFA students presented their work and gave the samples to students of all grade levels. This is a great annual tradition! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Moore and all of our FFA students who prepared and presented. #NighthawkProud

Mr. Reed and Mrs. Warwick are delighted to introduce Abby Mein (Ms. Mein) as our new student teacher in the Oakesdale History classes for the first quarter of the school year.
Abby’s journey has been quite diverse. Born in Wyoming, she spent part of her childhood in Germany before moving to Washington, where she graduated high school in Auburn. Her family later relocated to Minnesota, and just a few months ago, they returned to Washington, settling in Aberdeen. For the past four years, Abby has been pursuing her studies at Washington State University in Pullman. Go Cougs!
Abby is thrilled to be placed at Oakesdale for her student teaching, as she has always aspired to teach at a rural school. After completing her degree, she plans to seek a teaching position in a rural area, with Montana being her top choice.
During her time at Oakesdale, Abby will be collaborating with Mr. Reed in his 8th grade Social Studies and 11/12th grade US History classes, and with Mrs. Warwick in her 6/7 Early American History class. This summer, Abby joined Mr. Reed and Mrs. Warwick for a week-long intensive professional development seminar, where they explored the national civics program “We the People.” This experience allowed Abby to further develop her skills and enthusiasm for teaching, and Mr. Reed and Mrs. Warwick are excited to see her apply this growing expertise in our classrooms.
Abby shares her excitement, stating, “I am very excited to teach at Oakesdale for my internship. I hope to bring fun and educational lessons to the classroom.”
Please join us in welcoming Abby Mein to our Oakesdale community! #NighthawkProud

The Spokane National Guard invited all college and high school educators to experience an exhilarating helicopter flight over the Spokane area. All that was required was that the participants learn about the opportunities available in the Guard. An approximately 30 minute flight out of Felts Field on a Chinook Helicopter was enjoyed by about 60 Spokane area educators. Oakesdale’s Mr. Reed and Oakesdale’s great friend, LaCrosse’s Miss Titus (who also wrote this) enjoyed the ride. #NighthawkProud
