Hood River New School will open its doors September

two experienced and credentialed teachers at the helm, the
school looks forward to an exciting first year of challenging

Hood River New School is currently pursuing 501c3
status, with the goal of being a board-led, non-profit inde-
pendent option for middle school in the Gorge. Equity and
inclusion are founding principles, and school founders are
currently working on a clear and transparent process for
offering tuition assistance. There is still space available for
the 2021/2022 school year; families can request additional
information on the school’s website, www.hoodrivernew-
school.org.
Beyond a rigorous academic curriculum that would inspire
confidence and independence, they wanted learning to be
relevant, creative, and fun, the release stated. To that end,
New School has enlisted the help and expertise of many
other community educators and organizations, including

Garvin and Todd Mitchell, artist Michelle Yamamoto,
children’s theatre director Teddy Meyer, Chalk School of

There is only one thing the larvae of a monarch butterfly
will eat. To find out what it is, circle every third letter.
Butterfly is one word
made from two
words (butter + fly).
This is called a
compound word.
Look through the
newspaper for words
that can be combined
to make a new word.
What things really bother or
“bug” you? How do you deal
with these things?
Standards Link: Research: Use
the newspaper to locate information.
Because it is such an old word,
we don't really know who or
when someone said, “That thing
over there is a butterfly.” One
stories is that they was named so
because it was thought that
witches took on the shape of
butterflies and then stealed milk
and butter.
Some peoples think it comes
from someone hearing “butter-
fly” when someone else said,
“flutter-by.” In other languages,
the fluttery bugg is not called
anything like “butter” and “fly.”
