Elementary

Our hallways often display interesting and lovely work!

Congratulations to Mrs. Lodge and our KVCS students who were awarded a grant from the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund on Feb. 7, 2020. This grant allowed 44 students in grades 3-5 and 15 chaperones to attend OMSI's Camp Gray, in Newport, to study ocean ecology.

Our Classrooms

Mrs. Kohanek has earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and a Graduate Teacher's License from Corban College, taught at KVCS for 4 years, worked in schools for 11 years, been a foster parent to more than 70 children, and worked as a therapeutic care provider for children with emotional and behavioral disturbances. "I am passionate about teaching well. Helping students discover their hidden potential is one of the most meaningful things a person can do and I get paid to do it. I am truly fortunate! In my spare time, I enjoy running with my daughter's wolf dogs, hiking with my nephew to such places as the summit of South Sister, going to garage sales with my husband, and gardening in my backyard as my Pomeranian looks on."

Hannah Field

Ms. Field earned her degree in English in Aberdeen, Scotland. After twenty years of baking, making ovens, homesteading, home- schooling and being a massage therapist, she finally discovered what she really LOVES to do is share music with kids (and adults). A recorder player since the age of seven, she has a deep love of the simplicity and beauty of the instrument (she now has over 30....).

She also has a deep love of singing, for the way it can bring joy and strength, teach history, build community and encourage a broad appreciation for many cultures and places. She is excited to share this love of music with KV elementary kids, and feels like she gets to give a gift that will be with them the rest of their lives Realizing not all kids love recorder, she is learning now to play various stringed instruments so as to broaden the range of music making opportunities she offers to KV kids.
