Page A-2 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, June 22, 2016 Butterflies take center stage at nature and art festival A free, family-friendly event, the Nature & Art Festival at Rusk Ranch Nature Center (RRNC) will take place June 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Featured activities include a Bugs-R- Us presentation beginning at 11 a.m. and the Southern Oregon Guild’s “Red Tent” offering hands-on community art. In addition, a children’s craft project tent will be hosted by Illinois River Valley Arts Council and a “Salmon Run” eco-game will be offered. Admission to the Butterfly Pavilion will be half price at $3 during the festival. Other activities include a natural playground and food vendors. In response to the loss of summer school at Evergreen Elementary this year, RRNC is sponsoring SUN School July 12 through Aug. 4. The Tuesday and Thursday summer enrichment program will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is designed to prevent summer learning loss in reading, math and science. Certified K-12 instructor Kaci Elder and assistants will offer exploratory activities around the themes of dinosaurs, gardening and pollinators. Enrollment is sliding scale or free, based on need. For more information, call 541-287- 0172. RRNC Executive Director Patty Downing stated, “Rural students have fewer opportunities for learning during the summer, compared to student in urban areas. Summer programming is an important component of fostering academic success.” Downing explained that low income students lose approximately two months of reading achievement over summer, while higher income peers often gain ground. Summer learning loss is cumulative over time and can contribute significantly to what is termed the “achievement gap.” “Our kids deserve all the support we can give them,” Downing said. Rusk Ranch Nature Center is open Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with extended hours beginning in July. The Center is located at 27746 Redwood Hwy. across from Great Cats World Park.
