Wednesday, August 12, 2015 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon BRoTHERS: School will serve about 20 students Continued from page 10 said a district in a county with more than 35,000 people must merge with an adjoining dis- trict if it has fewer than 18 students for two consecutive years. Even though Brothers is located in Deschutes County, its school board opted to merge with Crook County School District. But residents said they always hoped the school would reopen. Back at Brothers Stage Shop, Hanna and her sister Dixie had counted up all the school-age kids in town and thought it was probably enough. Hanna called up her cousin, then- state representative Bruce Hanna, R-Roseburg, to help resurrect the tiny Brothers district. Meanwhile, the Crook County district was spending $12,000 to $15,000 a year to maintain the property in case there was enough demand to reopen the school down the road, said business manager Anna Logan. However slight, officials decided the demand was there this year, and in April the school board voted to reopen the school. Gretchen Stack, a fourth-grade teacher from Cecil Sly Elementary School in Prineville, was hired to teach in Brothers; she plans to live on the school property in the teacher’s unit. There will also be a part-time educational assistant who will double as the secretary and handle nutrition services; a part-time custodian will also drive the school bus. Mona Boyd, the district’s special education director, will serve as principal. Brothers School will have a four-day week, same as the district’s K-8 school in Paulina, which had about 20 students last year. Older stu- dents go to Crook County High School. Operating the school will cost about $186,000 a year up to about 20 students, when the district would look to add staff. Carol Dixon retired this year after 11 years teach- ing at Black Butte School in Camp Sherman, which has about two dozen students. She knew every child, his or her strengths and weaknesses and where they needed extra help. It was also easier to change lesson plans or orga- nize field trips. Students went skiing every Friday in the winter and swimming in the spring. “It’s challenging because of the different abilities and grade level of the kids, but it’s also advantageous because a kid can be placed where they need to be,” said Dixon.

What’s yours? Have you written it down yet? Join local educator and author Ellen Santasiero for a workshop at the Sisters Library on Tuesday, September 1, from noon to 4 p.m. The workshop is free and open to the public, but space is limited and registration is required. Register on line or by calling 541-312-1032. Beginning with warm-up exercises that help people access important memories, Santasiero will lead partici- pants in writing and editing their own short memoir. “This workshop is for anyone who wants to record and present their memories using literary techniques,” she says. She is unable to pick her favorite memoir. “There are just too many,” she says. Santasiero is quick to point out the importance and value of the genre. “They provide a sense of community — a sense of history and identity — to rapidly changing families and communities,” she says. Ellen Santasiero works as a freelance writer and teaches literature and creative writing at OSU-Cascades in Bend. Her essays, memoirs, interviews and articles have appeared in photo provided ellen Santasiero. magazines and other venues since 2001. She was a fea- tured reader at Caldera Arts in Portland in 2013.
