She is a Mountain View High School and Baker Charter School graduate who hopes to pur- sue an education in the medi- cal field. Currently, she is employed at GPI Pro, a camera stabilization company in Bend. “We’re friends and neigh- bors, strangers, coming together united as one,” is how Breckel described rodeo. “I am proud to be represent- ing not only the sport of rodeo and the Western way of life, but also this remarkable association.” As a way to encourage others to pursue their goals, Breckel expressed, “Work at it until it is accomplished. It took me three tryouts and two years of dedication before I won my first title.” “She’s a social butterfly,” said her mom, Michelle. “She has done skits for the family at major holidays since she was a small girl, because she wanted to entertain us.” Throughout school years, Breckel’s only competitive sports interest was related to horses. She was a member of the Mountain View Oregon High School Equestrian Team. “Horses have always been her passion,” said Michelle. Her older sister, Montana, said Breckel was always the first to try anything, like get- ting on a scary horse or taking the toughest challenge, and has always been the life of the party. The rodeo queen contest is rated on speaking ability, responses to questions posed by judges, and mostly on horsemanship. Breckel will represent Sisters Rodeo at all the rodeos in the Columbia River Circuit and at special community events through- out Oregon and southern Washington. their goals they are awarded an additional $35,000 a year for the following two years; representing a total of $280,000 for arts program- ming in Sisters schools. “All of the sites are doing K-8 music and arts education, but each has a slightly dif- ferent focus and goals,” said Studio to Schools project lead Brad Tisdel. “All of these efforts are to identify the best practices in arts education from the state.” Tisdel is also the cre- ative director of Sisters Folk Festival, and manages their educational outreach programs. “There is great program- ming at the high school and middle school.

Grants like Studio to School can complement the work that is already being done within the school district with partners like SFF.” “The biggest thing that stuck out with me while working with Dale is recog- nizing the kids that have a hard time engaging in every- day music are very excited,” says Shelly Hicks. “These kids are contributing to class, asking questions, in a way that they may not normally contribute.” The residency culmi- nated last Friday with an all-school assembly where all students in class or grade groups played two minutes of rhythm. “All the students have been very caring and sup- portive of one another,” says Largent. “It’s really beautiful to watch the kids relate to one another. This school and com- munity is really special.” Use Your Home to Stay at Home WITH A REVERSE MORTGAGE Can’t Find Your Dream House? BUY LAND AND BUILD!
