❤️🙏 COMMUNITY FIRE UPDATE🙏❤️

We have some good news to share this morning. The fires in some areas have been downgraded, and the family who stayed with us last night has been released to return home. ❤️

They were able to get some much-needed rest, have a good breakfast this morning, and because of the incredible generosity of our community they had everything they needed.

To everyone who showed up with food, water, clothing, bedding, toiletries, and so much more… Thank You! ❤️ You didn't hesitate. You simply saw a need and showed up. That is what community is all about, and it was beautiful to witness.

Thank you to the Incident Management Team from Northeast Washington. They are currently stationed at the school to help our fist responders. Red Cross is in the area, and the Incident Management Team is working to connect with them as needed.

Jackie is the best point of contact at the school. First responders can check in with her in the cafeteria, and she can direct them to food, water, showers, sleeping quarters, or help with anything else that is needed. First responders and the Incident Management Team are currently stationed at our High School... and at this time, everyone has what they need.

If circumstances change, please know our doors remain open.❤️ Our Elementary School will remain available for families should the need arise.

Please continue to keep everyone impacted by these fires in your thoughts. This is a scary and incredibly difficult thing for families and communities to go through, and although we are grateful things are looking better today, we know there is still work ahead.

To our first responders... Thank You! for the long hours, sacrifices, courage, and hard work you have given to protect our communities. 🚒❤️

And to our amazing community... Thank You! for reminding us once again what it means to take care of one another. When our neighbors needed us, you showed up without hesitation.

We are incredibly grateful. ❤️

Thank you all, stay safe, and blessings to everyone. 🙏❤️

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of a cherished member of our school family. On June 21, 2026, Barbara "Barb" Strader passed away.

For 38 years, Barb faithfully served our students, staff, and community with unwavering dedication, kindness, and compassion. She was far more than an employee—she was a trusted mentor, a passionate advocate for students, a coach, and a positive influence on countless young people whose lives were enriched by her encouragement and care.

Barb believed deeply in the potential of every student she served. Whether working directly with children, supporting school activities, or simply offering a kind word when it was needed most, she made a lasting difference in the lives of generations of Endicott students and families.

The Strader family's roots in our community run deep, and their longstanding support of local events, school programs, and community activities has touched countless lives. Their commitment to Endicott reflects the same spirit of service, generosity, and dedication that Barb exemplified throughout her life.

This loss is sure to raise many emotions and memories throughout our school and community. Our sincerest condolences go out to Barb's family, friends, former students, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. As a school community, we mourn this tremendous loss together and remain committed to supporting our students, staff, and families during this difficult time.

While we grieve her passing, we also celebrate a life of service, compassion, and unwavering commitment to children. Barb's legacy will continue to live on through the students she inspired, the colleagues she supported, and the community she helped strengthen.
