Already looking ahead to next year! 👀 Emerson Elementary 1st graders met with Ms. Marll's 2nd grade class to ask questions about what 2nd grade will look like. Thank you to Ms. Marll and students for taking the time to meet with us! 🥰📚 #WeAreHoquiamSD

Mrs. Cooper's class had an amazing time celebrating the end of a fantastic school year with a fun-filled Glow in the Dark Day! 💡🎉 Throughout the year, our students worked incredibly hard, showed tremendous growth, and achieved so much. This special day was a well-deserved opportunity to celebrate their dedication, perseverance, and accomplishments. From glowing games and activities to lots of smiles and laughter, it was the perfect way to wrap up a successful year together. 🧡🩵💜 #WeAreHoquiamSD

Mrs. Seibert's 2nd graders and Mrs. Gaddis' 4th graders joined up for what we called "creativity in a cup!" 🥤✂️ Students were given paper and a few other limited materials in a cup, with no instructions other than to be creative! End of the year fun, collaboration, and creativity at Central Elementary—and we’re here for it! 👏👏👏 #WeAreHoquiamSD

🚲 Lincoln Lions 2026 Bike Rodeo! 🤠 Students in 4th and 5th grade enjoyed the bike rodeo thanks to the partnership with Hoquiam Police Department and Hoquiam Crime Watch. Students were able to get a basic bike safety course from HPD Officers. The Hoquiam Crime Watch volunteers helped with bike and helmet repairs, and even donated some better fitting bike helmets. Then students and staff (including Mr. Ihde and Ms. Littke) got to ride the basic riding course. The goal of the bike rodeo was to help students to be prepared for riding safe all summer. Thank you to Hoquiam PD and Hoquiam Crime Watch for the support and training! 👏🚴☀️ #WeAreHoquiamSD

At Lincoln Elementary, we have been working as a school on the power of hope, and have learned that that by practicing skills like agency (will power) and pathways (way power)—we can achieve our goals. 🤩🙌 Lincoln Elementary’s Hope Night and Roar Recognition was all about recognizing students, staff, and community members that have shown us what it looks like to teach, live, and champion these skills. To our honorees: thank you for being the architects of a brighter future. ✨ Along with our Hope Night celebration, we also held the Reading Roar Recognition awards for students that have demonstrated high growth and/or high achievement on their fall to spring reading assessments. 📚📈 This year we have seen tremendous growth in reading over last year (131 students up from 82 students). Thank you to our students, teachers, and families that have partnered with us to prioritize reading. Great job, Lincoln Lions! 🦁👏 #WeAreHoquiamSD

Mr. Ayotte successfully practiced, advertised, and directed a stage full of kindergarten and TK students to give an outstanding spring concert performance! 🎶🌸👏 The bleachers at the Hoquiam Middle School were full of parents and community members that came out to support our Emerson Teddy Bear students. Thank you to all that contributed to a successful evening! 🤩✨ #WeAreHoquiamSD

Yesterday we celebrated and sent off our amazing state choir and track students! 🎶🏃🙌 We are so proud of the hard work, dedication, and commitment each of these students has shown throughout the year.

Wishing all of our students the best of luck as they compete and perform — your school community is cheering you on every step of the way! ❤️🖤 #WeAreHoquiamSD
