Kamiak Weekly Update

At Kamiak, we are focused on ‘belonging’ as a goal for our school. High school can be a challenging time in life when students are shifting their focus from group identity to individual identity. They are working to understand and develop a sense of self.

 

One key part of growing up and developing that sense of self is exploring a variety of interests. Over the course of my career, I have seen the value of students’ involvement in athletics and activities time and again. Recently, I heard a presentation from our District Athletic Director, Beth Vanderveen, and I wanted to share some of what she presents as the benefits of extra/co-curricular involvement.

 

 

As we start the Winter sports season, I encourage all interested students to attend tryouts and join a team. And, I encourage all students and families to explore this document where you can see the richly diverse set of clubs/activities that students can join here at Kamiak. 

Thank you PTO and all the families that contributed to the amazing fall staff lunch last week. All the food was absolutely delicious! We truly appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness in making us feel so appreciated!

This week, overdue notices for textbooks and library materials will be distributed to students during their 3rd-period homeroom. If your student receives a notice, please take a moment to remind them to locate and return any overdue items to the Textbook Room or the library as soon as possible.

If any items are lost or damaged, fines can be paid online through the Online Payments section on Kamiak’s homepage, or directly to the Bookkeeper in the Attendance Office.

Thank you for your assistance!

November is Indigenous People's Month, also known as Native American Heritage Month, where we spotlight the rich heritage and culture of Native American, Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities around us.

Kamiak Land Acknowledgement: We acknowledge we are on the ancestral homelands of the Coast Salish Peoples, who have lived in the Salish Sea basin since time immemorial. We respect this place and honor the sacred spiritual connection to the land, water, and its people, past, present, and future. By acknowledging these lands and their original Indigenous inhabitants, we reach back to our own indigenous roots and reflect on the impacts of colonialism and the lands from which all our people come. We are connected to our ancestors through this connection to land, for the land is what connects us all. We express our deepest respect and gratitude to the traditional people of this territory, the Snohomish and Tulalip Tribes, for their enduring care and protection of the land which we currently share.
