McSorley Elementary students saved up their Tiger BEST tickets, which they earn for doing their “BEST” every single day. When a staff member sees a student showing their Tiger BEST, they give the student a ticket. Students saved up their tickets for a chance to pie a teacher in the face... and they chose their principal, Mr. Kronemann!

Nez Perce Language I & II classes from Lewiston High School, under the direction of Kathryn "Katy" Matthews (Natural Resource Specialist) and her team of researchers from the Nez Perce National Historical Park, were able to spend the day at Weippe Meadows, participating in the 2025 qem'es (Camas) Monitoring Project with the National Park Service. The Nez Perce Language students were given specific coordinates via GPS, used a compass to pinpoint the direction of the count, and then counted how many qem'es plants were found within that specified zone. The most one student counted in one location was one hundred three (103) plants in one section. The students were also responsible for reporting any noxious or invasive species that are not native to the prairie. Those numbers are also important so that the researchers from the National Park Service can better understand what is there, how how they might remove those unwanted weeds from the land.
Their Nez Perce Language Teacher, Mr. Slickpoo, provided everyone with qem'es so those that have never tried it before would know what it tastes like. The qem'es has been an important part of the Nez Perce diet and way of life since time immemorial, and that relationship continues on to this day.
