On December 12th, Kittitas FCCLA hosted the annual Lunch Box Auction! Classes, clubs, staff, and retired teachers all contributed lunches to be auctioned off. This year, there were a total of 20 lunches available. All proceeds from the event goes toward purchasing food and gifts for families in need in the community.
Students showed incredible generosity in their bidding, helping raise over $1,700! There were even a few donations from individuals who were outbid. Kittitas is so fortunate to be surrounded by students who care. Great job, Coyotes – the community is incredibly proud of you! #KittitasCoyotes

Battle of the Grilled Cheese Competition
What an incredible, cheesy showdown! Students picked their partners and got to work, selecting the best bread for the perfect crunch, deciding between mayo vs. butter, and choosing their ideal cheese for that perfect pull. Some even added meat for an extra twist!

And the winners are: Shylee G. and Lila R.! You nailed it!
Let's celebrate their delicious victory! #KittitasCoyotes

Kittitas Student Kayser Dempsey Shines at FCCLA National Leadership Institute!
A special shout-out to Kayser Dempsey who was invited to attend the FCCLA National Leadership Institute in California! As the FCCLA Washington State Vice President of Region 7, Kayser represented Kittitas with pride and dedication, alongside Parker Casey, FCCLA Washington State President, and Clare Richard, FCCLA Washington State Intern.
The event kicked off with a two-hour orientation, followed by 2-3 hours of exclusive behind-the-scenes training at Disneyland and California Adventure! 🎢 These sessions gave Kayser and her fellow students the chance to learn leadership strategies and explore the inner workings of two of the world’s most iconic theme parks.
We're so proud of Kayser for her leadership and commitment to FCCLA, and excited to see the skills and insights she brings back to Kittitas! #KittitasCoyotes

Honoring Our Heroes: A Heartfelt Veterans Day Assembly 🇺🇸 The day began with a special breakfast for veterans , followed by an assembly featuring powerful speeches from veterans , a flag-folding ceremony performed by students 🇺🇸, and a touching moment when students placed "candles" by the branch of the military in which their family members or friends have served or currently serve 🕯️. It was a meaningful event and a beautiful way to honor and remember the sacrifices made by our veterans and their families. #KittitasCoyotes
