Joseph students help buy swing set
By Steve Tool
Wallowa County Chieftain
“When the going gets tough,
the tough get going,” so the say-
ing goes, and when Joseph grade
school needed a new swing set
during a period of tight fund-
ing, the teachers and classes did
something about it. Grades K-4
held fund raisers to help pay for
the $4,000 swing set. The hard
work by the classes paid off with
the installation of the swing set
on the playground in May. Total
funds raised were approximate-
ly $4,150.
The second grade led the
charge with $1,310 raised
through a read-a-thon. The re-
maining grades collectively
raised approximately $800.

instructor, Marla Dotson, spear-
headed the fundraising project.

$800, the high school donated
$500, and $600 came from pri-
vate donors. The rest came from
various other fundraising events.
The leftover funds will be
used to create a plaque or sign
that recognizes everyone who
donated or raised money.
Dotson also wanted to thank
Tim Kiesecker, the school’s
maintenance supervisor, for do-
nating the time and use of his
personal excavating equipment
for digging holes for the con-
crete anchors for the swing set.
Dotson also said the elementary
teaching staff who helped orga-
nize the fundraising efforts of
their respective classes deserve
thanks as well.
“The classes all worked
hard for this and they’re very
excited about their new swing
set,” Dotson said.
