FIRST Robotics
Selkirk Alliance for Science and Kalispel Natural Resources Department are partnering with the Grizzly Discovery Center on a free "Power of Science" demonstration about build-it-yourself robots. Anyone can attend on Wednesday, April 1st, 4-5 PM, at Sadie Halstead Middle School, Room 2, 331 S Calispel Avenue, Newport, WA.

FIRST Robotics is a nonprofit organization that helps K-12 students build hands-on skills in science, engineering, technology and math through local robotics competitions. No prior robot experience is necessary to participate in FIRST programs. Guest speaker Jake Osborn, who grew up in Springdale, will describe how FIRST programs could help create robotics teams within the Newport School District. More information about FIRST programs can be found at www.firstinspires.org.

Thank you Kalispel Tribe for making a difference in our community.

We were excited to gift Cusick’s FFA students $20,000 towards the construction of a new school greenhouse!

The greenhouse will allow for hands-on learning year-round and support their annual FFA Plant Sale, giving students valuable real-life experience with crop management, marketing, sales, and business development. Can’t wait to watch this program grow 🌱

Go Panthers!
