Wishram School – Week in Review & Next Week’s Schedule
September 8 – September 13, 2025

Week in Review

This week, we paused to honor and remember the events of September 11, 2001. On that day, our nation experienced tremendous loss, but also came together with unity, courage, and resilience. As we reflect 24 years later, we remain grateful for the heroes who sacrificed their lives and for all who continue to serve and protect our country. May we never forget the importance of community, compassion, and strength in the face of hardship.

I also want to take a moment to share how proud I am of the Wishram School staff. Each day, they work tirelessly to ensure the care, growth, and success of our students. From academics to athletics, from safety to social-emotional support, our staff put in countless hours to create a safe and welcoming environment where students can thrive. Their dedication is the heart of what makes Wishram a special place.  

Monday, September 8 – Our school therapist and nurse were on site. The Wishram Community Council hosted a free spaghetti dinner at 4:45 PM, followed by the Council Meeting at 5:30 PM.

Tuesday, September 9 – Mr. Churchwell attended the OSPI Collaboration Webinar and the weekly construction meeting.

Wednesday, September 10 –  Happy Birthday to Kael Fletcher and Sammy Gowdy! Mr. Churchwell joined the Gorge, Pacific, and Wahkiakum County Superintendent check-in at 11:30 AM. MS Volleyball traveled to Arlington, OR for a 5:00 PM game.

Thursday, September 11 – Happy Patriot Day. The WAGAP Food Truck was on site from 9:00–11:00 AM. HS Volleyball scheduled for tonight was cancelled. 

Friday, September 12 – HS Football traveled to North Douglas for a 7:00 PM kickoff.

Saturday, September 13 – HS Volleyball competed in the Dufur Classic, beginning at 8:30 AM.

 Each week, our students and staff demonstrate resilience, teamwork, and pride in their school. Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support.
