Last Thursday, John Snively
took members of the Malheur
field trip class and the bird iden
tification class to the Malheur
Wildlife Refugee in Eastern Or
egon.
The 22 students went to
Malheur Wildlife Refugee which
is located 35 miles southeast of
Burns, Oregon. Malheur is the
one of the nation’s largest fresh
water wildlife refuges. They
stayed four days and three nights
at the old field station.
Snively has been leading the
trip for 24 years. Besides the
trips, .he also has experience with
the refuge because he has taught

classes on the refuge during the
summer for 12 years.
The cost of the trip was $77
per person which covered room
and board at the field station.
The trip started with snow
both going over the mountains
and once in Central and Eastern
Oregon. However, the snow
didn’t stick and the weather
turned nice once they got to the
refuge. The colder weather did
cause one problem in that many
of the birds were not there yet.
But, they did still see about 110
species of birds.
While there, they studied
some of the history of the refuge,
which is located on what was the
P Ranch. The P Ranch was head

National Bring Your Daugh
ter To Work Day is tomorrow. Ev
ery year, children are given a
chance to see what their parents,
neighbors, relatives and friends
do when they go off to work or
school each day.
This national day opens up
the workplace for children to get
a close-up view and experience
what life can be like after they fin
ish school. This is a great oppor
tunity for the kids to perhaps get
a grasp or a feeling of what kind
of a career they would like to pur
sue in their future.
Although this day is entitled
Bring Your Daughter To Work
Day, it does not mean that it is
reserved just for parents and their
daughters. It’s open to anyone
who is interested in bringing
someone to not just their work
place, but also into their class
room.
Fathers are welcome to bring
their sons as well as their daugh
ters. Students are encouraged to
bring their children, cousins,
neighbor’s kids or a child of any
age.

organizers of the day on campus,

stopped at the Wizard Fish

town of Sisters. They stopped

to break up the long trip home.
