The SPTC is an all-volunteer group that meets monthly in the C-Wing at SES. Programs supported by the SPTC include the Scholastic Book Fair, Sisters Elementary School Spirit Sale, Holiday Book Exchange and more. All funds raised by the SPTC go to support semi- annual teacher grants and off- set student fees.

He will also explain the role of simple stretches to avoid or alleviate simple aches and pains. With offices in Sisters and Bend, Dr. Jeffrey has been practicing for 15 years. A native of Southern California, he earned undergraduate degrees in clinical physiol- ogy and civil engineering from Boston University and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Jeffrey has done a num- ber of post-graduate studies including ELDOA, which is a myofascial stretching technique that lengthens the spine. The fascial system helps interconnect muscles and coordinates them within not only a single joint move- ment but multiple joints as well. It is only within the last five years that the treatment of fascial tissue has gained favor. He teaches ELDOA classes at Sisters Athletic Club two times a week for members and nonmembers. 19 Sisters Science Fair features businesses photo provided Dr. robert Jeffrey. Jeffrey and his wife, Robine, moved to Oregon from Santa Cruz, California, living for five years in Bend before moving to Sisters six years ago.

The event is open to the pub- lic and free of charge. Seating is limited. Are your gyros spinning in the right direction? Do you know what a pool table, an ellipse and simple geometry have in common? At what point does science fiction and reality merge? The answers to these ques- tions and many more of life’s puzzles will be unveiled at the upcoming Sisters Science Fair on Saturday, February 20, from noon to 4 p.m. at Sisters High School. Exhibits, experiments and contests will fill the high school with sci- ence that’s fascinating, con- founding, astonishing, capti- vating and compelling. The good news is these conun- drums will each have a scien- tific-minded person there to explain, demonstrate and dif- ferentiate between the facts and the myths. The theme this year is “The Science of Nature,” and the fair will delve into many outdoor science topics as well as astronomy, rocketry, phys- ics, chemistry and animal sci- ence. The planetarium will return with scheduled shows displaying the night skies, and a special comet simulator that promises to demonstrate the icy cosmic snowballs. Businesses will also be on hand to explain their sci- entific equipment and tech- nology. Bend Research will have a display and hands-on experiment table for har- monic waves. Sisters’ own Energyneering will bring their flight simulator and St. Charles hospital will have mini classes on health and the body. Trout Unlimited and the U.S. Forest Service have teamed up with an out- door science exhibit and a fish tank with salmon and steelhead trout. Once again, the Design, Construct and Compete (DCC) Contest will take over the high school gym with another mousetrap car com- petition, but this year, with an intriguing twist. All ages can compete pitting their mouse- trap car against other teams for top cash prizes.
