In any event, I am proud of our Outlaws and
how they handled themselves today. They were
orderly, respectful and a proud group. I know
it was a great lesson in civic responsibility.
Lastly, we have a great learning environment
that is built on strong relationships and our car-
ing for each other. At the end of the day my
most important request is that each of us treats
each other with dignity and respect, regardless
of differences of any kind.

To the Editor:
This past week our baseball team at Sisters
High School held its first game on the new
field, and I wanted to take the time to once
again thank the community for all the support
it gives Sisters High School Athletics.
The passing of the bond several years ago
has had a tremendous impact on the district in
multiple areas, and as athletic director I see it
daily for our student athletes. This spring we
have nearly 200 athletes out in nine different
spring sports, and the majority of them are get-
ting to use these recent upgrades.
Funding for our schools here in the state of
Oregon is always a challenge, but your con-
tinued support in the form of the bond, dona-
tions, and volunteer hours provides incredible
help and resources to build off of. We strongly
believe the experiences our athletes have are
part of their education they receive at Sisters
High School, and you are making this experi-
ence even greater.
Additionally, each year we have thousands
of visiting athletes and fans come on campus
for a variety of contests and tournaments, and
we receive constant compliments and praise for
31
our high school and athletic facilities. This is a
reflection of both your generosity and the hard
work of our facilities and grounds team, and
we are so blessed to have this kind of support.
Once again, from all of us at SHS, thank
you for all you do and GO OUTLAWS!

To the Editor:
I would like to express my support for the
Sisters School District levy in this letter. After
reading about the levy and how we enjoy the
lowest taxes in the region for school and edu-
cation, while having some of the highest qual-
ity schools, I will be voting yes on the levy. I
strongly believe that every child, teenager, and
young adult, regardless of gender, race, dis-
ability, or sexual orientation deserves a quality
education.
School was not easy for me. I live with a
case of autism. That makes things like learn-
ing harder for me, which is something that
other students may not find as hard. When I
was in school, I required things like a quiet
testing room, a calculator, and even my own
laptop because my handwriting was terrible.
I wanted to be in the general education class-
room because most of my friends and class-
mates were in general ed either for part or all
of the day, and I wanted to be with my friends
when in class. The only way I was successful
in the general education setting was in smaller
classes. I needed additional help from teachers
and staff. In a large class I could not have been
successful.
I feel the levy had a direct impact on me as
an autistic student. This levy fuels the operat-
ing budget, and allows for classroom impact,
