• Dixie Eckford, Earth Day
event coordinator wrote: Three
cheers and a big Sisters thank-
you to all the volunteers who
made the Earth Day Spring
Clean event a huge success.
Your enthusiastic hard work
on Saturday resulted in over 80
bags of trash and hundreds of
cigarette butts being removed
from the high school grounds
and disc golf area, local road-
ways, parks and city streets.
Let’s continue our commit-
ment to care for our beautiful
Sisters home by keeping it
clean and restoring it to good
health.
Together we can “Make
every day Earth Day.” Keep
up the good work!
• Tyler Cranor, instrumen-
tal music teacher at Sisters
Middle School, wrote:
Kudos to our Sisters Mid-
dle School (SMS) band stu-
dents for doing so well at the
District Band Festival! In
April, our SMS 7th-and 8th-
grade band students performed
for other Central Oregon bands
(including Bend-La Pine,
Madras, Crook County and
Burns) and a few renowned
music educators from around
the Northwest.
Band festivals are the time
of year where bands get scored
or graded. Personally, I do not
put too much stock in subjec-
tive scoring, and music is obvi-
ously fairly subjective. I put
much more weight in student
participation, energy and com-
munity support — in ALL of
which Sisters is exceptionally
strong, and getting stronger.
That being said, my goal
for this year was to attend the
festival and receive an aver-
age adjudicators score of 60
(for reference, a competitive
high school band at the state
level might receive an 85-90).
That would indicate a compe-
tent and healthy band, with a
competence in all age-appro-
priate musical knowledge. It
would also indicate a signifi-
cant bump in score from the
last time SMS participated,
and with that a healthy growth
of the program. I am proud to
announce that we received an
average score of 62!
As we go into next school
year, and the 6th graders tran-
sition to 7th grade, my goals
and expectations will increase.
Having more musicians will
mean that we can perform not
only more complex music but
a wider array of styles. This
will undoubtedly help us reach
our goal next year of an aver-
age score of 70. This would be
a HUGE increase, but I think
that it is attainable.
Thanks, SMS band stu-
dents and parents, for all of
your hard work and support!

trip (see related story, page 3).
“The airlines didn’t charge
us extra for excess luggage,
but we were prepared for any
luggage expenses thanks to
The Roundhouse Foundation,”
said Sisters teacher Heather
Johnson. “The Roundhouse
Foundation donated $1,500 to
the Central Oregon Days for
Girls Organization to make
more menstrual kits to go to
Uganda. We were to use some
of that funding it if we had any
luggage expenses, but since
we didn’t it all went to The
Central Oregon Days for Girls
Organization!”
The Roundhouse Founda-
tion also donated funds to the
Sisters Graduate Resource
Organization (GRO) that sup-
ported two of the students with
their traveling expenses.
“Sisters GRO and Round-
house were so excited to be
able to support two of the stu-
dents, Summer Roberson and
Keegan Greaney, with fund-
ing to participate in this valu-
able experience,” said Pam
Olivier, a representative of
GRO. “Sisters GRO adminis-
ters The Roundhouse Founda-
tion Experience Enrichment
Scholarship.”
