We are Willamette! 

We have been celebrating ALL week! We have welcomed new students, welcomed back former students, celebrating moving up grade levels, new teachers, A NEW FENCE and so much more! We are so happy this year, moving back to a new normal after the pandemic.

First Picture – Hayley Hook (4th grade), Rich Moberg (PE), Kammy Granger (Kitchen Crew) celebrate 20 years with MSD!

Second and Third Picture – Kathi Fowler (Principal) celebrates 15 years at Columbus/Willamette!

FUN FACT

Hayley Hook is one of a VERY select few who can claim the following: 

  • she was a student at the FIRST Columbus… when the mascot was THE EAGLES, on Baker Street (now an empty lot across from Walgreens)
  • she was a teacher at Columbus when the mascot changed to THE COUGARS
  • she is now a teacher at Willamette Elementary, home of THE COUGARS!

Let’s Have a GREAT Year Together!
