aged due to snow/ice.
One constant through
many years of wreath sales
has been the support of Paula
Lovegren, a parent of three
Black Butte School alumni.
Since 1988, Lovegren has
dedicated countless hours
to creating gorgeous bows
that adorn the wreaths. At
that time, Paula worked at
a floral shop specializing
in making bows for cor-
sages, and her mother-in-
law, Ruth Lovegren, a Black
Butte School Board member
encouraged her to join the
wreath effort. She has con-
tinued to share her unique
skill for the 31 years since
because the work connected
her to the Camp Sherman
community and gave needed
support to the school.
<Black Butte School is
special because no child can
slip through the cracks,= she
said.
In recent years, she made
over 600 bows, estimating

Parent Teacher Organization,
which is forever grateful for
all the time and effort she has
spent supporting Black Butte
School.

For decades, Black Butte
School families have been
selling holiday wreaths to
the Sisters Country commu-

during the coronavirus pan-
demic. Wreaths are only
available for online purchase
in two sizes (27-inch and
36-inch outside diameter) at
www.bbswreaths.com.
Hollie Foster, a Camp

The wreaths are beauti-
fully made, fragrant, and
long-lasting!=
