Greetings, Naselle-Grays River Valley parents, guardians, staff, and community members.
We are pleased to announce that two of our high school ASB officers–Brianna Johnson and Madelyn Dielman–have partnered with our leadership teacher (Haleigh See), our school counselor (Kellyn Hazen), and our student support specialist (Karli Nelson), in creating the "Comet Tree." The Comet Tree is a resurrection of what some community members may fondly remember as the "Angel Tree. " This tree will allow interested parents, guardians, staff, and community members to support families in need with gifts, clothing, and other necessities during this holiday season.
We are very excited to provide this opportunity for interested individuals to make this holiday time more special for some of our students and families. If you are interested in participating or in blessing a student or family with holiday gifts or clothing, please come to the school office to sign up and to pick up a tag from our Comet Tree. The tags contain important information about the ages, clothing sizes, and other gift ideas for the students and families. There are already 12 tags on our Comet Tree in the office.
We respectfully ask that Comet Tree gifts be returned unwrapped to the school on or before December 17 so that our leadership students can wrap the items. Adults from the school will deliver them to families as we head into winter break. If you have any questions or would like to recommend a family, please contact Miss See, Miss Nelson, Mrs. Hazen, or our office staff. We will keep all information confidential. Thank you and have a wonderful holiday season!

They competed well and earned 9th place out of 14 teams in the Giblett League. They are currently ranked 18th out of 32 teams in our region. They will compete in a regional event at Olympia High School on December 20th. We are very proud of our students and thankful for the efforts of our coaches, Rudi Rudolph and Ron Wright.
The Comet football season ended with a hard fought loss to a strong Almira-Coulee-Hartline team at Lions Field in Moses Lake. The Comets finished their season at 10-2 and in the final 8 once again. Very proud of our players and so thankful for our coaches.
