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.

Start your memoir with library session
The universe is made of
stories, said the poet Muriel
Rukeyser. 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

magazines and other venues
since 2001. She was a fea-
tured reader at Caldera Arts in
Portland in 2013.
