Chief Joseph Families,
We are starting our schoolwide Snap! Raise fundraiser, and we are excited to get started! This is a great opportunity for our entire school community to come together and raise money to support Chief Joseph Middle School sports, clubs, and activities.
Our goal is to raise $25,000, and we need your help!
Please help your student gather contacts before we launch. During registration, students should add a profile picture and upload 20 quality contacts of potential supporters. Think about grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, family friends, neighbors, coworkers, and others who may want to support your student and Chief Joseph.
Donations can come from anywhere, so don’t limit yourself to just local contacts!

Our very own “M” has been awarded the RISE award! We love & appreciate her so much!!! Congratulations M!

RISE Award Spotlight!

This week, we celebrate Mireya Vongphachanh, Building Foreman at Chief Joseph Middle School. Since joining the school last spring, Mireya has made an extraordinary impact through her hard work, leadership, and commitment to serving others. She is always on the move, whether responding to a staff or student need, supporting her custodial team, or finding new ways to improve the school environment.

Mireya leads with positivity and pride, showing up each day with a smile and a willingness to help wherever needed. Her dedication to maintaining a clean, welcoming, and well-prepared building has not gone unnoticed. Staff across Chief Jo have commented that the school is in some of the best condition they have ever seen at the start of a school year, a testament to the care, effort, and leadership Mireya brings to her work every day.

Dependable, self-motivated, and an excellent communicator, Mireya consistently goes above and beyond to support students and staff. Most importantly, she approaches everything she does with a genuine desire to serve others and make Chief Joseph a better place for everyone.

Congratulations, Mireya, and thank you for all you do for students, staff, and the Chief Joseph community!

The RISE Award, sponsored by Gesa Credit Union, honors RSD staff members who exemplify Innovation, Service, and Excellence.
