Normally crime scene caution tape set up at a high school—or anywhere else, for that matter—isn't a positive situation. But at Nooksack Valley High School, the caution tape was all part of a unique class focused on forensics a new science class offered at the school. 

The Nooksack PTO effort launched this summer and started to connect with families about the opportunities to help at the start of the school year. 

Fourth-grade Everson Elementary student Peyton Johnson says the Nooksack Tribe tradition of making a drum has been something she's wanted to do since she was 3 years old. And when that time finally came this year, she followed in another tradition: gifting that first drum to someone you can trust.
