St. Maries School District Superintendent Joe Kren said that all outdoor middle school activities have been canceled today – for a second day in a row – due to nearby cougar sightings yesterday. Mr. Kren explained that this will not create a conflict with games because they are all being played at away locations this afternoon.Volleyball practice will be held as usual today. Additionally, elementary students are being kept inside for recess, and supervision has been increased at bus loading and unloading areas. There were at least two reports of a cougar sighting yesterday morning. The cougar was first sighted at about 10 a.m. at the bus garage. An hour later, another sighting was reported at the BMX track, which is in proximity to the bus garage and is an area that is popular with youngsters/ St. Maries Gazette-Record Facebook wall.
