A message from Principal McDaniel

Hello Klahowya Families and Students,

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Students will be released at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, November 24 and school will be closed through Sunday. On 11/24 students will be able to grab a sack lunch to take home. The Wednesday bell schedule is posted under Upcoming Events. If students are participating in after school sports, they should go home then return for practices. We hope you have an opportunity to spend time with friends and family and enjoy your family traditions.

Our high school girls soccer team is headed to State Semi-Finals today! They enjoyed a grand send-off Klahowya style, pep band played while staff and students cheered them on to their game which starts at 4:00 p.m. at Shoreline Stadium. If you’re unable to see them today, they will play again tomorrow. The schedule will be posted on the Nisqually League website.

As colder weather closes in, so does the possibility of snow and icy weather. If you are unsure if road conditions in your area require an alternate bus route, please check the district transportation page. School closures are posted on our website. Please stay safe and don’t drive if you determine the roads to be unsafe.

We want to do everything possible to ensure the success of our students. If you find yourself needing any assistance during this colder weather, please contact our Student Service Center.

December is the season for extended absences. If you will be absent 3 days or longer, please send a note to our attendance secretary, Michelle Crawford [email protected], or call her at 360-662-4031 in advance of the absence. She will start the process to inform teachers and ensure students have their assignments to stay on track.

Thank you for partnering with us to create an environment for student success.

Scott McDaniel

Counseling and Career Corner

ASVAB

ASVAB testing opportunity on December 8th 8 a.m. The ASVAB is available to grades 10-12 and is an excellent opportunity for students to identify their strengths and aptitudes. Combined with the Interest Inventory, it is a very valuable tool for career guidance. Students have the choice to keep the scores to themselves or release them to the military representatives. Contact James Miles, Career Counselor, ([email protected]) with any questions.

Please sign up in the SSC if you are interested, or feel free to email [email protected].

Klahowya’s Holiday Cheer and Giving Tree Programs

Klahowya has adopted hundreds of students over the course of the years for the holidays. We are inviting our students, parents, and community members to partner with us for our families in need. You can take a tag off the tree and purchase what is listed on the tag, shop for specific gifts, or help us wrap! We are asking that all contributions be in by December 9th. If you are interested or have any questions, please call the Student Service Center (360-662-4040).

Yearbook

Looking for a gift idea for your Klahowya student? Why not purchase a 2021-22 yearbook. Books will be available while supplies last, but you can guarantee your purchase by ordering by December 13th.

Seniors

KSS Baseball is currently running its first fundraiser through FlipGive. Don’t forget to join our team! The fundraiser runs through January 8th.

If you are not familiar with FlipGive, like me, here's how it works. We earn cash back on every purchase made during our open time period! All you do is shop anytime on FlipGive using the brands you already love like Home Depot, Under Armour, Safeway, Albertsons, Walmart, Old Navy, Apple, Mobil, Dick's Sporting Goods, CVS, Nike, etc. It’s completely virtual, contactless and most of us already shop online so why not make it worth a little bit more!

Join our team now, Klahowya Eagle Baseball, click on your favorite player or join as an individual who would like to support or donate to the team. It’s that easy. Your options for joining are: Going online and using the URL - https://flipgive.app.link/teams/join?joincode=6F6ZH6 - And/or - enter code 6F6ZH6 after downloading the FlipGive app to your phone from your favorite app store.

Here’s the cool part, share the code with anyone! Copy and paste this email to anyone! The more folks who join and spend on FlipGive under the KSS Baseball umbrella the more our team will make. Share the URL or download the app, plug in the code, pick a player to support or just click donate/support the team and you are helping KSS Baseball buy equipment, uniforms, etc. So, spend away.... :)

Congratulations Girls Soccer who will be playing in the State Semifinals Friday, Nov. 19th, 4:00 p.m. at Shoreline Stadium.

This past Saturday was an amazing day for our Klahowya Eagles swim team at the State meet. Our girls placed 12th overall in the 200m relay (Caley Haydu, Maggie Keenan, Addy Leaf and Loren Swaney). Loren Swaney placed 5th in the 200 free and she also placed 4th in the 500 free. We are so proud of these ladies and our brand-new swim coach, Danielle Harding-Hanson.

High School Basketball will have their first game on Wednesday, Nov. 1st at home against Crosspoint Academy starting at 5:30 p.m. Our next game that week will be on Dec. 3rd at home against Annie Wright starting at 5:30 p.m. Hope to see you there!
