Dear North Bend Staff, Parents/Guardians and Partner Groups,
I want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year! Please enjoy the time with your friends and families. During this time of giving, I want to thank the North Bend community for supporting Bus Jam this year. While I came up a bit short in the McKay food shopping spree, the community rallied and Team North Bend took down Team Coos Bay! We contributed the most toys, the most money, and the most food on December 2nd. Always remembering, the true winners are our kids and families of Coos County. Thank you!
I also want to thank all of our parents, grandparents, guardians, and community partners for your ongoing support. Your commitment to the North Bend School District is vital to the success of all students and we greatly appreciate you!
John Steinbeck once said, “What good is the warmth of summer without the cold of winter to give it sweetness”. As we turn the page on 2022, our schools and lives have begun to look more and more familiar again. I hope we can all look for opportunities to celebrate, share successes, and embrace the challenges. It is in these moments of overcoming obstacles and challenges where we appreciate the hard work and dedication happening daily.
Thank you again for all you do and enjoy this special time of the year.
Sincerely,
Kevin Bogatin
Superintendent

NBMS 8th Grade Graduation Celebration at Laverne Park!
Congratulations NBHS class of 2022! Tonight we celebrate the accomplishments of students in this great class who have persevered through a tough four years. Your Bulldog spirit is honored and appreciated! Go Bulldogs!
Today our NBHS graduating seniors had the opportunity to parade through the halls of our elementary schools and middle school in their caps and gowns. For some of our seniors, it was an opportunity to visit their previous schools and teachers. For our younger students, it was an inspiration for their own limitless futures.
Todd Goergen (not pictured) of Boxcar Hill Campground along with staff members Randy Rushton, Christine Rushton, and Nikki Rushton presented a donation of $2,071.50 to the North Bend School District for the McKinney Vento program, which ensures that homeless children and youth are provided a free, appropriate public education, despite lack of a fixed place of residence or a supervising parent or guardian.
Accepting the donation was NBSD Board Chair, Jim Jordan (NBSD Board Chair), Tim Crider (NBSD Director of Business Services), and Tiffany Rush (McKinney Vento Program Coordinator). North Bend School District is grateful for this generous donation for our students.
