This time is often spent going to community events, working Nancy Montecinos, a stu- dent at Sisters High School, is being featured this week as part of a statewide public education support campaign, “The Promise of Oregon.” The “Promise” campaign, which officially debuted in November 2014, aims to cre- ate public support for K-14 education, to help meet the state’s 40-40-20 goals and lift student achievement and graduation rates. The Promise campaign also showcases dis- tricts whose cutting-edge pro- grams are preparing students for careers and college. Montecinos is one of four students statewide who will be featured prominently this week on the campaign on homework, attending art programs, participating in sports, or simply hanging out and talking.

This six- hour class covers program pol- icies, how to establish a men- tor relationship, the impact incarceration has on families, and communication skills. There is no cost to attend.
