A group of staff and students recently trained with a well-known expert in Sources of Strength. Our staff leaders had an intensive training day, and the next day, 31 eager students joined them. Thanks to a grant to our Pacific County Health Department, we're using this program to build strong peer networks for positive change in our community. Sources of Strength focuses on promoting wellbeing, seeking help when needed, building resilience, healthy coping, and fostering belonging. We're grateful to the team at Adrift Hospitality for providing the perfect space for this adventure.

We had an exciting week at IHS.
Monday:
We kicked off the week with our School Board Work Session and the regular School Board Meeting. A special thank you to all those who joined us and took the opportunity to tour our school building.
Tuesday:
The week continued with a bustling Tuesday, featuring the FISH PTO meeting in our library, followed by a Senior Class Parent Group Meeting and a BOOSTER Club Meeting. Meanwhile, our boys' basketball team secured an exhilarating victory against Centralia in a non-league match-up.
Wednesday:
Esports enthusiasts participated in their first winter competition, although the results didn't go our way with a 0-2 loss. The evening was filled with musical delights as the Mariachi and Choir performed. Later that night, our Mariachi Band embarked on a journey to San Antonio to attend the Mariachi Extravaganza, engaging in learning and competition and they will return back to the peninsula on Sunday evening.
Thursday:
Ms. Anderson's Natural Resources class had an educational field trip to Cape Disappointment, where they learned from Park Ranger Aaron. Meanwhile, Mrs. Vasquez's class, fresh from completing a book study, ventured out to the Neptune Theater to watch the movie adaptation of the book. Our boys' basketball team hit the road to Toutle Lake, where they played a close match, although the result wasn't in our favor.
We've included a couple of snapshots capturing the essence of our weekly happenings. Stay tuned for next week's events, and be on the lookout at the beginning of next week for information about the upcoming conferences on the 12th-15th.
If you didn’t make it to the IHS Concert and Jazz Band performance last night then you missed something truly amazing. Here’s a snippet. Next Wednesday the 29th our Choir and Mariachi Band perform at Hilltop auditorium at 7pm. If you wanted to be awed by talent and dedication of our youth and their amazing teacher then please block out your calendar. You won't want to miss it!
