On Friday, May 30, 2014, we were privileged with welcoming the beautiful red cedar logs which will become the Welcome Poles for Katzie Elementary School. Members of the Katzie First Nation led the poles into the room in the school where the carving will take place. The carver has begun the carving and will complete the poles on site, allowing our students to be witnesses to the creative process. Here are some pictures from the event.

| The poles are very heavy! A crane was used to carefully lift them onto the dolly so they could be rolled into the school. |
 |
| Dean sang and drummed the poles into the room where they will be carved. |
 |
| Too large to fit through the doorway, the logs had to be carefully turned on their sides to be moved in. |
 |
| The carver, Rocky LaRock, (on the left), is from Chehalis, where the tree came from. |
 |
Our school spirit name is the "Katzie Eagles" and we look forward to having this eagle welcoming us, along with the other pole, every day when we come to school.
