The favorite part of my day was… Watching our boys basketball team bounce back this morning with a definitive win over Dufur in order to play for 4th place tomorrow morning at 9:45am. Day five celebrates our specialists & support staff…Samantha, Duncan, Natasha, Lindsey, Andrea, Becca, Taylor, Craig, Brad, & Garak…these individuals, while not all having the same role, all share the trait of showing up day after day for our students & school community, doing whatever is needed to make school go smoothly…& our school simply would not function without these key people. Thank you to ALL of our classified staff! Superintendent Fall #EveryKidEveryDay100WhateverItTakes #HuskiesExplore #HuskiesPullTogether #HuskiesAreResilient

The favorite part of my day was… Sending off our boys basketball team to the state tournament, of course! Good luck boys, go get’em!!!! Day three celebrates our kitchen staff, Darcy, Terri, & Heidi. These three are the picture of consistency. Not only are they striving to improve our offerings for meals, but in a recent audit by the state of Oregon, they not only passed with flying colors, but our systems & processes have been shared with other districts as an exemplar of how to do quality work.

The favorite part of my day was… Oobleck in 3rd grade! Day 2 of classified appreciation week highlights three rockstars in our school community in Kim, Jen, and Tionie. They quite literally serve the entire school community. From students to staff to families, & the larger community, if you’ve been in contact with our school then you’ve been fortunate to have been helped by them. They consistently embody an attitude of service & are the consummate professionals. With a combined 44 years of service in our district, we are all wise to look to them as steady examples of dedication & commitment. Worth striving to emulate. Thank you ladies!

The favorite part of my day was… Working on professional learning conference requests & plans from three of our more veteran teachers. Mrs. Gunderson, Ms. Jones, & Mrs. Wambold are three great examples of professionals who are continuously striving to improve in their profession…This is what makes us better. Better meaning more effective, all the while setting positive examples for our students… And being copied on a handful of positive emails sent to families from Mrs. Miller, as she recognized individuals & groups of students for their commendable efforts, attitude, & work ethic in her classroom. The “job”, the drive is big, & can be overwhelming as we all know the goal is 100%. We aren’t “done” until we know 100% of our students are successful. And yet while we must think big, we must focus small. It takes a disciplined mind, among distractions of all sorts, to focus on the daily positive actions that create the positive momentum that keeps us moving forward. 1% better each day amounts to big gains in the long run. Think big, focus small, & focus on the right things. Superintendent Fall #EveryKidEveryDay100WhateverItTakes #HuskiesExplore #HuskiesPullTogether #HuskiesAreResilient

The favorite part of my day was… Hearing about the successes of the FFA contest…not only our 2nd place & state qualifying Parli Pro team, but also hosting an event for the first time & the Wasco Event Center bragging publicly about our students, advisor & program. The value Mr. Swenson brings to our students’ lives in helping develop & shape the leaders of our future cannot be underscored enough. We are fortunate to have one of the state’s TOP Ag & FFA teachers. Simple as that. Superintendent Fall #EveryKidEveryDay100WhateverItTakes #HuskiesExplore #HuskiesPullTogether #HuskiesAreResilient
