Please see logo brief attached for more important info!
A key physical feature of Nisqually Middle School is a hand-carved totem pole near the front entrance named Children Playing Among Teachers. We would like the logo to reflect the totem pole, which is a symbol of unity, tradition, and pride to represent relationships or commemorate ancestry, history, stories, people, beliefs, experiences, events. Ideally the logo will include the animals listed below.
Students researched the history and purpose of totem poles and chose animals that are part of our geographic area and reflect the qualities that fit with students’ values:
Bear: strength, humility, motherhood, teaching, protection. Nisqually Tribal elder Billy Frank shared that the bear represents the women of Nisqually.
Eagle: strength, leadership, prestige, and a symbol of America.
Whale: family, goodness, communication.
Salmon: dependability, renewal, a provider.
Moon: protector and guardian of the earth by night
