Staff from 8 districts met at Prairie Elementary School on Thursday, Friday and Saturday October 2,3,4 to learn essential concepts, strategies,  techniques and process for ensuring performance excellence for all kids.  The approach is similar to the way best friends and parents teach their children critical abilities like riding a bike, driving a car and getting along.  It's a commitment and a set of tools that prove highly effective and that are very different from what is typically found in schools.  The Teaching for Excellence model is a representation and summary of the bet practices used by effective teachers to ensure success for all students. Staff from Asotin, Cottonwood, Culdesac, Deary, Kamiah, Kendrick, Nezperce, and Troy were in attendance. Photo by Rene’ Forsmann Click on the photo for a larger view.

Kim Crea parachuted on to the football field Friday before the Troy game, bringing the flag for the National Anthem. The plan was to touch down as the pregame clock wound to zero as there wouldn't have been any players on the field at that point. He came down a few minutes early though but managed to avoid the Troy players warming up on that end of the field. Click on the photo for a larger view.
