100 days of school

Good evening students, staff, families and community, 

This week some students on our campuses celebrated the 100th day of school, mixing counting with crafts and projects, including necklaces made with 100 fruit loops. The 100th day is always a fun day for our students thanks to our wonderful and creative teachers. 

A few other things that happened this week; 

Wrestling: 

Last weekend our boys and girls wrestlers participated in Regional Tournaments. All four of our lady Borderites in the tournament placed, and three of them are headed to State. 

Girls Regional Results: 

110: 2nd Genesis Vazquez, 4th Briseyda Nolasco-Vieyra - 135: 3rd Milania Rodriguez - 235: 7th Rayanne Mutchler 

Our boys’ team dominated the Regional Tournament, taking first place. Eight team members are headed to the State Tournament, along with one alternate. 

Boys Regional Results:

The Borderite boys basketball team will take on the Overlake Owls at King’s High School on Saturday at 6:00 P.M. for a spot in the state tournament in Yakima. Best of luck to Coach Farrar and the team! 

Governor Inslee Mask Mandate Announcement: 

As many of you are aware, Governor Inslee announced today that he intends to lift the mask mandate for schools on March 21st. We are closely monitoring the details, including mandates that may still exist from the federal government. We will provide an update as soon as more detailed information regarding the operational impact in the school setting is available.

Upcoming School Calendar Items:

  • Friday, February 18, 2022 - Mid Winter Break - No School

  • Monday, February 21, 2022 - President’s Day - No School

  • Monday, February 28, 2022 - 2 hour late start

We hope you are able to relax and enjoy this mid-winter break. It’s a great night to be a Borderite, and, as always, a great night to be your superintendent. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Christopher Granger
