School Happenings

Enrollment up slightly in Naselle schools

NASELLE - Compared to last spring's year-ending enrollment and to the estimated student population on which Naselle-Grays River Valley School District superintendent Gerald Schmidtke based the budget for the current school year, the current enrollment figures are looking a little more positive than what was expected.

The district reported a public school enrollment of 316.19 students in the year's first report sent to the Superintendent of Public Instruction office in Olympia. That total contrasts with a year-ending total of 303.2 students last June, which shows a slight gain this fall. Fearing an even bigger decline, Schmidtke had based his budget on a student population of 283 FTE students plus four Running Start students.

Elementary cheer camp set in Naselle

NASELLE - The Naselle High School cheerleaders will hold a cheerleader camp for elementary school students (grades K-6) on Saturday, Oct. 12. The camp will be held in the NHS Commons from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. for grades K-2 and from 9 a.m. to noon for grades 3-6. The cost is $25 for the first child in a family and $15 for each additional child from the same family.
