Washington Business Week
A unique program is returning to Montesano High School February 22-26 for our junior students. For one full and exciting week, junior students and some faculty members will be engaged in a non-traditional discovery learning experience called Washington Business Week.
Small “companies” of students will operate their own business for eight virtual quarters, solving the problems small businesses encounter with growth, production, and demand. Through our hands-on approach, students will gain a vision of how math, science, English, technology, history, art and other curriculum will apply to their life after high school. In turn, they may be more inclined to excel in these subjects once they have actually applied them to these “real life” situations.
A businessperson from the Grays Harbor area will mentor each student company as they move to compete against the other student companies. Competitions include a business simulation, a marketing and stockholder’s presentation and a Trade Show. By the fifth day, Friday afternoon, each student will have:
· A real world understanding of business and America’s free enterprise system;
· An appreciation of how to apply what they learn in school to the “real world” workplace;
· Improved leadership and teamwork skills - - making each student a better Montesano team player and a better future employee and/or employer;
· An enhanced understanding of the importance of a diverse workforce; and
· Increased self-confidence.
The Montesano School District and the Kelsey Foundation have joined forces to make this exceptional experience possible. The success of the Business Week program depends heavily on strong community support. Your help is needed to make the program an overall success and to help your student get the most from this great opportunity. Suggestions for your help include:
· Talking with your student about their experiences at the end of the day and encourage them to take an active part in all of the activities;
· Volunteering to be a Company Advisor for a team of students or a Judge of the student projects at the end of the week; and/or
· Making a donation to support the program budget.
For more information or questions please contact April Pocklington, Montesano School District at 360-249-1640 or apock@monteschools.org.

2015-2016 Food Bowl Schedule of Events
The Food Bowl season has arrived. Once again, Montesano High School is competing against Elma High School to see which school can raise the most money and food to support our local food banks. Food Bowl begins Friday, December 4 and ends Tuesday, December 15.
Even more than last year, the need for food in our community is at an all-time high. Any support you are willing to give is greatly appreciated. Monetary donations allow the food bank to buy food at a lower cost. It’s also more advantageous in the competition because each dollar is worth two pounds. Your support of this worthy community event is very much appreciated.
We have scheduled many events to help with raising money for Food Bowl that we think will be a lot of fun as well as help the Montesano Food Bank. To see the calendar of events, please click on the following link:

Remember, the real winners are the Food Banks and everyone they help in our communities.
