Knights Ferry School is officially back in session! The Parent Teacher Club and staff went all out to make the first day of school a welcoming and exciting place to be. This year they did a blue and gold balloon archway that said “Welcome Back to School” for the children to pass under as they walked up the sidewalk and they planned a morning meet and greet for families and staff on the freshly painted blacktop playground with donut holes, water, and a very colorful photo backdrop perfect for pictures! The donut holes and water were graciously donated by the local Masonic Lodge. I have always appreciated the Masonic Lodge’s kindness to the students at Knights Ferry!

If you’re planning to get in a few more rafting adventures before the summer is over, be sure to check the river flows for that day. This weekend the river will be 1500 CFS on Friday, the 18th, will drop to 750 CFS on Saturday, and rise again Sunday evening back to 1500 CFS.
