Last Friday the fifth-grade class hosted their annual Art Exhibition Capstone, welcoming friends, family and fellow LS students to explore a diverse showcase—from digital pieces and embroidery to sketches and paintings. Students led visitors through their creative processes, sharing journals that detailed their thinking, iterations, and artistic growth over the year.

Last week our sixth graders, led by MS teachers Brad Kirsch and Heidi Schillinger, completed a two-day, one-night field trip that capped off their unit on the watershed, salmon and trout life cycles, along with Nez Perce history and culture.

Students visited the Nez Perce National Historic Park, Spalding Mission and Museum, Ft. Lapwai, Tolo Lake, White Bird Canyon, the “Heart of the Monster” in Kamiah, Dworshak Hatchery and Dam, and Lower Granite Dam. They had dinner and spent the night in the Wa-a’yas Community Center gymnasium in Kamiah, Idaho.

This place-based, hands-on experience gave our sixth graders direct encounters with the land, waterways, and stories they studied—sparking deeper understanding, respect, and curiosity. The lessons and wisdom they gained on this trip will stay with them for years to come.

Last Friday, the 5th grade class completed their Lower School journey by crossing the bridge into Middle School and taking part in a moving recognition ceremony.

After students crossed over, the entire Middle School greeted them with warm applause and welcomes, celebrating this milestone as they join the next chapter of their academic lives. Congratulations to our new middle schoolers!

The Class of 1976 celebrated their 50th graduation anniversary with a weekend of events that culminated in a brunch at the Davenport House on graduation Sunday and a campus tour. Alumni then followed the bagpipers onto Graduation Lawn to lead the faculty procession, helping kick off the Class of 2026 commencement ceremonies.

Thank you, Class of 1976, for joining us and helping celebrate this special day with our graduates—Go Dragons!

Last Thursday the second grade held their annual Wax Museum in the Dragons Den. Dressed as famous historical figures, each student delivered speeches around the room.

With families in attendance, students used a special cue to “come to life” and share a wealth of historical knowledge about the figures they portrayed. Wonderful job, second grade!

Congratulations to the SGS Tennis team on a 2nd place finish at State!

Doubles team Joseph Sudlow and Steven Liu finished 3rd overall, with Eshan Reddy qualifying as an individual.

Congratulations to the SGS Golf team on a fantastic showing at State!

Senior Matthew Longstreth capped off an incredible career with a 2nd place finish, while freshman Ella Rich placed 11th overall.

Last week, first graders performed “Rumpus in the Rainforest” for their families, delivering a fun and funny show filled with enthusiastic singing and spirited acting. Small groups of students brought different rainforest animals to life with charming costumes and lively choreography.

Many thanks to teacher Julianne Clark for leading and preparing the students—great job, 1st grade!
