Celebrating Our Principal
In honor of National Educational Bosses Week, we’re celebrating our incredible leader at Chief Kanim — Principal Michelle Trifunovic!
Mrs. T is a dedicated advocate for both students and staff, leading with compassion, commitment, and excellence. No matter how full her schedule, she always finds time to support our Hawks and keep CKMS soaring.
Thank you, Mrs. T, for being such an amazing principal. We’re so lucky to have you!
Happy Speech Language Pathologist Day!
Happy National Speech-Language Pathologist Day!
On Sunday, we celebrated Diane Robbins, our amazing Speech-Language Pathologist at CKMS!
Diane plays a vital role in helping our Hawks overcome communication challenges, ensuring every student has the support and resources they need to succeed. Her dedication, expertise, and caring nature make a meaningful impact on our school community each and every day.
Thank you, Diane, for all you do! CKMS is lucky to have you!
Monster Magic in Action
Inspired by Life Doesn’t Frighten Me, FCES second graders created “protective monsters” to guard against fears—and CKMS brought them to life! Ms. Rainwater’s seventh and eighth grade art students (Semester 1) transformed the drawings into amazing sewn creations, capturing every detail with heart and creativity.
Mrs. Flanagan shared, “I love how the CKMS art students were able to make the drawings come alive!” Huge thanks to Ms. Rainwater and her students for making this unforgettable literature and art collaboration possible!
Eastshore Band Festival
At the end of April, the CKMS Advanced Band traveled to Snoqualmie Middle School to participate in the Eastshore Middle School Band Festival. This event served as a yearly curricular assessment and provided students with the opportunity to receive performance ratings and attend a clinic led by a renowned Washington-based band director.
Bands from SMS, Twin Falls, Tolt, and Islander Middle Schools also participated, making it a fantastic day of music and learning.
A big thank you to Mr. Talbott for directing and preparing our musicians for this important event!
Hawk Pride in Full Stride
What a fantastic first track meet against SMS—beautiful weather, strong performances, and tons of team spirit!
Next up: at Islander on April 30—let’s keep flying high!
Don’t miss our final home meet on May 7 vs. Twin Falls—come show your Hawk Pride and cheer on our amazing athletes!
Spring Hawk Hour Sends Students Soaring into Break!
Our Hawks soared into Spring Break with a fun-filled Spring Hawk Hour! During the last hour of the day, students chose their own activities—from karaoke, cookie decorating, and spin art to volleyball, board games, and even roasting marshmallows.
A huge shoutout to Ms. Rainwater, our Leadership and ASB students, and the front office crew for organizing this unforgettable celebration of CKMS Hawk Pride! Way to go, Hawks!
