✨ Yesterday we had a special visit from Margaret Garrett, the Regional Farm to School Coordinator with the Child Nutrition Cooperative at ESD 113! She trained our kitchen staff on how to use our new Robot Coupe, purchased with USDA Equipment Grant Funds.

πŸ₯• Here you can see our team putting it to use right awayβ€”prepping fresh vegetables for the Hearty Beef Stew that was served for lunch today.

We are so grateful for the partnership and support from the Child Nutrition Cooperative at ESD 113. πŸ’š

Wow! This week’s lunches were a hit β€” we had more students purchase meals than last week! πŸŽ‰

Did you know that out of our 30 lunch menu options, only one (the corndog) is a true heat-and-serve item? Our Food Services team has been kicking it up this year with more scratch-made and in-house prepared meals, and we’re so excited about it.

This week’s menu featured:
🍴 Corndogs
🍴 Sloppy Joes
🍴 Chicken Pozole (a teacher favorite!)
🍴 Teriyaki Chicken & Fried Rice
🍴 Pepperoni Pizza (our most popular choice with students!)

Every tray is pictured with fresh options from our updated salad bar, which now offers even more variety for students.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to our Food Service Manager, Shantel Freeman at sfreeman@mmk.wednet.edu
.

We can’t wait to share what’s on the menu next week!

πŸ¦‰ OWL PRIDE ON FULL DISPLAY! πŸ¦‰

Look at these AMAZING young women showing their incredible school spirit! Our volleyball athletes are ready to take flight tonight as they face off against Taholah!

The face paint, the smiles, the team unity - THIS is what Owl Pride looks like! These dedicated athletes aren't just representing themselves on the court tonight, they're representing ALL of us at Mary M. Knight with pride, passion, and determination.

We are so proud of how our student-athletes embrace our school spirit both on AND off the court. Their enthusiasm is contagious and reminds us all why we love being part of the Owl family!

Tonight, let's pack the stands and show our volleyball team the same energy and support they show for our school every single day. These girls have been working hard all season, and they deserve to feel the love from their Owl community!

What to bring: Your LOUDEST Owl Pride!

Let's fly together, Owls! πŸπŸ’™πŸ€

πŸ¦‰ OWLS PRIDE IS SOARING! πŸ¦‰

What an incredible way to kick off our fall season! Our very first Pep Assembly of the year was absolutely AMAZING, and the energy in our gym was off the charts!
We are so proud to celebrate and recognize ALL of our fantastic fall sports teams:

🏈 Middle School Football
🏈 High School Football
🏐 Middle School Volleyball
🏐 High School Volleyball
πŸ“£ Our spirited Cheer squad

Watching our grade levels compete in football and volleyball challenges was pure joy - the enthusiasm, teamwork, and school spirit our students showed was simply outstanding! Every single student brought their A-game and made us incredibly proud.

And what a perfect way to cap off this amazing week - our High School Volleyball team secured their FIRST VICTORY of the season against Oakville! These talented young women showed exactly what Owl Pride looks like on the court! πŸ†

To our athletes: You inspire us every day with your dedication, hard work, and sportsmanship. To our families and community: Thank you for your incredible support - it truly makes all the difference.

This is just the beginning of what promises to be an exceptional fall season. Let's keep this momentum going, Owls!

GO OWLS! πŸ¦‰πŸ’™πŸ€

At Mary M. Knight, we know every student has different tastes. That’s why, along with our hot lunch, we also offer sandwiches as a second optionβ€”all at no cost to families thanks to our Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) status.

This program started last year, and we’re proud to continue it so students can enjoy a meal that works for them, helping them stay full, focused, and ready to learn. πŸ’›

πŸŽ‰ Welcome to Mary M. Knight, Little OWLS! πŸ¦‰

What an incredible first day we had with our newest Kindergarteners in Mrs. Tracey's class! These bright, smiling faces filled our halls with excitement and joy as they officially joined the Mary M. Knight family.

Our little OWLS came ready to learn, explore, and show us what they're made of! From their adorable "First Day of Kindergarten" crowns to their eager anticipation for all the adventures ahead, these students are already demonstrating the leadership and success we love to see at MMK.

We can't wait to watch these amazing Kindergarteners grow throughout the year as they discover new friendships, master new skills, and show us their incredible GRIT. Mrs. Tracey and our entire MMK community are here to support them every step of the way!

Thank you to all our Kindergarten families for trusting us with your precious little ones. Here's to an amazing year of learning, growing, and soaring together!

πŸ† CELEBRATING OUR OWLS' SUCCESS! πŸ†

What an incredible year it's been for Mary M. Knight athletics! Today, our Athletic Director took time to proudly display some of the amazing achievements our OWLS have earned this school year.

From our Girls Golf team's outstanding 3rd place finish at 1B/2B District IV to our State Champions in Track and Field, and the success of our girls basketball team - these banners and record boards tell the story of dedication, hard work, and OWL PRIDE!

We're so proud to showcase these accomplishments in our hallways where our students, families, and community can see the incredible talent and determination of our Mary M. Knight OWLS. Each banner represents countless hours of practice, teamwork, and the unwavering support of our coaches, families, and community.

Congratulations to all our student-athletes who made this year so special. Your achievements inspire us all and show what's possible when we work together as one OWLS family!

Way to SOAR, OWLS! πŸ¦‰πŸ’š

We’ve been busy making a few upgrades around campus lately… but this one might just steal the show! 😍✨

The next time you pull into the secondary parking lot, don’t just park and walk in β€” take a second, look up above the SPED room, and prepare to be wowed! We’ve added something brand new that we think you’re going to love just as much as we do.

Here it is β€” the before and after! We absolutely love how it turned out, and we think you will too. It’s bright, bold, and guaranteed to make you smile the second you see it.
