The skies over Sisters grew ominous on Saturday, as mammatus clouds portended big rain. Heavy winds and
lightning and thunder rocked the landscape. Areas to the east of Sisters experienced significant damage,
including crop losses on farms and ranches.
Big thunderstorm rocks region
Thunderstorms brought
abundant lightning and
rain to Central Oregon on
Saturday. While Sisters
Country mostly escaped the
severe damage experienced
in Culver, which saw a tor-
nado, the area did experience
some punishment 4 and
some fire starts.
Farms and ranches in the
Lower Bridge area experi-
enced serious impacts from
hail, wind and flooding,
which caused significant
crop loss for some outfits.
Lightning sparked at least
one fire on the butte above
Sisters Airport, and fire-
fighters responded to four
new incidents, including a
one-acre blaze at the Perry
South Campground near the
Metolius River.
While Saturday9s storms
brought between a quarter-
inch and a half-inch of rain
across the region, firefighters
expect to continue respond-
ing to new incidents in the
next couple of weeks as
weather heats up and <sleep-
ers= ignite.

<As a staff we pictured this
day as being a day that they
could at least drive through,
see people and wave and
say goodbye in some fash-
ion,= she said. <As a parent
I am really glad they got
this opportunity along
with the upcoming gradua-
tion ceremony at the rodeo
grounds.=
High school teacher
Kristy Rawls said, <Once
again it9s the amazing con-
tact and relationships that we
have with our students that
are so important,= she said.
<I think the seniors appre-
ciated it and it made me
equally happy.=
Senior Addiegrace
Schutte said, <It was cool to
see everyone and made me
realize how much we actu-
ally missed school.=
Science teacher Rima
Givot is mother to graduat-
ing senior George Chladek.
She said, <I think this
was an opportunity to make
a celebration out of get-
ting the kids their certifi-
cates and collecting their
items in a fun, informal way.
Just watching their faces it
looked like the kids were
25
really happy and excited to
see people and they seemed
pleasantly surprised. It was
so cool that the elemen-
tary and middle school staff
joined in as well.=
Due to Covid-19 restric-
tions the class of 2020 will
have a unique commence-
ment ceremony Friday, June
12 at the Sisters Rodeo
grounds. The one-of-a-kind
ceremony will take place at
the Sisters Rodeo grounds at
7 p.m.
We continue to do
what we can to honor
the class of 2020.
— Principal Joe Hosang
The plans for the drive-in
ceremony, in which gradu-
ates and their guests will
remain in their cars, are
being finalized, according
to Hosang. Unlike normal
years, the live event will
be limited to seniors and
their guests4just two cars
per graduate, but audio will
be broadcast on FM radio
104.7 and the event will be
posted online following the
ceremony.
<We continue to do what
we can to honor the class of
2020,= Hosang said.
