βThis is an incredible opportunity and a true honor,β said Patrick. βBeing part of something on this scale allows me to show my students that music doesnβt end after high schoolβit can stay with you throughout your life, open doors to unforgettable experiences, and connect you with people from across the country. Beyond the performance itself, the travel, collaboration, and shared pride in representing our schools and communities make this trip especially meaningful.β

The selection also highlights Mossyrock School Districtβs continued commitment to providing students with inspiring musical opportunities.

From candy canes and camo, to pajamas, ugly sweaters, holiday socks, and everything in between β our students and staff brought so much fun, creativity, and school spirit all week long. These smiles say it all!
As Spirit Week comes to an end, we are excited to kick off Winter Break. We want to thank our families, students, and staff for making our schools such a joyful place to be.
From all of us at Mossyrock School District, we wish you a happy, safe, and restful holiday season. Enjoy the break, make special memories, and we look forward to seeing everyone in the new year!
Winter Break Head Checks Reminder
As we head into Winter Break, now is a great time to do a quick head check at home for lice and address any concerns early before family get togethers.
If treatment is needed, one non-chemical option some families choose is a mayonnaise treatment: apply about one cup evenly over the scalp and hair, leave on for 8β10 hours, then wash out as normal. This method can also act as a deep conditioner for hair. As a preventive measure, tea tree oil shampoo may be helpful for some families.
There are also over-the-counter lice treatments available, which families may prefer to use, especially if the mayonnaise method is not effective or if another approach feels more appropriate for their child.
Please keep in mind that winter weather often causes dry scalps, which can lead to itching and flaking and may look like lice but is not. To help with dry scalp, try avoiding daily hair washing. Washing every other day or a few times per week can help prevent stripping the scalp of its natural oils.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in helping keep our kids healthy!
