Oropeza is the oldest child of a migrant farm working family. She arrived at Mid Val- ley from Mexico and attended Hood River Valley schools, graduating in 2009. Oropeza attended Columbia Gorge Community College and grad- uated with her Masters in 2014 from Eastern Oregon Univer- sity before she returned to Hood River to work for the County Prevention Depart- ment. Oropeza said the Odell cel- ebration was the first major public event she had ever hosted. Many of the educators who received accolades are retir- ing this year, including Den- nis McCauley, principal of Mid Valley Elementary. The longtime principal took up the “chair throne,” as Yasui re- ferred to it, in the center of the honorees. McCauley has served as principal at Mid Valley for the last 11 years. His career in ed- ucation began in 1971, when he started as an elementary teacher for Reynolds School District in Portland. He went on to become principal of Reynolds’ Davis Elementary School in 1998 before moving to Hood River in 2004. Kim Yasui, HRSCD instruc- tional coach and AVID direc- tor, will take McCauley’s place next year. Though she was an event organizer, the celebra- tion also made note of her work at Mid Valley. Other educators on the hon- oree list were Peggy Dills Kel- ter, Art teacher at Mid Valley; Socci Galvez, Mid Valley Bilingual Preschool director; Erica Magana, Migrant Pro- gram Recruiter for HRCSD; Lorena Manzo, ELL Instruc- tor at HRVHS; Lourdes Elisea, Child Care Instructional As- sistant at HRVHS; and Sandy Salazar, Mid Valley’s dance in- structor, who lead students in a series of Latin dances near the end of the Odell ceremony. © 2015 by Vicki Whiting, Editor Jeff Schinkel, Graphics Vol. 31, No. 26 By Nellie Fly Do you love bugs?
