We are thrilled to kick off the year with and our PTSA Board has been diligently planning. We kick off the year with the 6th grade and New to Chinook Open House. This will give those first time Kodiaks a chance to explore the school, review their schedule and gather essential information for the year. We'll have some exciting changes as we aim to include more social activities for the students, along with family and community events. Feedback from the previous year is guiding us in supporting new clubs, with chess, debate, and robotics being the top contenders. Hopefully we will be able to incorporate all three clubs in the new year. We are excited to announce that our Cultural Night Event will return this year, as well as an all-school community service event and Talent Show. We are developing several other community events and will provide more details down the road. Chinook continues to offer a range of services to strengthen our community and aid those in need of support. Whether it concerns mental health, educational support, or emergency assistance, we encourage you to reach out. Our children flourish when every child is at their best. Our PTSA is dedicated to creating a comprehensive experience for our students this year. In collaboration with our administration, we aim to reinstate some of the traditional field trips, arrange for educational speakers, and provide hands-on experiences for our students. To achieve success, we require your support. There are four ways you can help: 1. Join the PTSA 2. Contribute to our Shine On Chinook Fundraiser 3. Volunteer your time 4. Participate in our events! While some may contribute in all four ways, we believe everyone can perform at least one act to bolster our school, our educators and staff, and most importantly, our students.
