PAGE 8 OCTOBER 6, 1978 Students Enjoy Warm Weather At Outdoor School The sixth graders of School District 509-J were blessed with perfect weather as they attended Outdoor School at Camp Tama rack in two four-day sessions in the past two weeks. Apparently, Camp Tama rack is known to have wet weather and always during Out door School it seems. Using the natural elements of the surrounding area of Camp Tamarack, the outdoor school offers classes in art, wildlife, water and weather, soil and geo logy; plants, and maps and the compass. But camp isn’t all studying. The campers also have recrea tion time and. time to clean cabins for clean cabin awards. And at night a campfire pro gram, which is looked forward to with much anticipation, is plan ned and conducted by high school counselors with assistance by district teachers. Counselors at Camp Tama rack are from Madras High School and are hand-picked by the principals. Counselors were often campers themselves when they were in the sixth grade and said when they reached high school they were going to come back and be a counselor.

He said that it’s important for every student to take the battery of tests because the re sults are used in determining where a student stands and where his areas of weakness are. The tests will also be used in counseling situations, he said. With these tests, we can tell if a student is starting to slip, if poor grades are related to poor attendance, or whether or not a student needs help in a parti cular area,1 Pinkham notes. 509-J Budget Committee Has Five Openings Any registered school dis trict voter is eligible to submit their name for nomination to the five positions open on the 509-J budgeting committee.

(Roger Stwyer photo) ) From the High School Counselor: by Ron Pinkham The fifth week of school has about come and gone. I ’ve had many crises occur of which are both personal and-or school- oriented. It is hoped by myself that such crises are handled with much care and understanding by all. Identifying a need by a student and counselor would be a prime goal with the end result of resolving that need. At this time the need for tutoring is quite evident, so your cooperation is needed. I will set up a room during the noon hour where I will assist the student to the best of my abilities.

Currently, tutors are not being hired and use of the Adult Learning Center may be one source of assistance. I have sent progress reports to the parents last week and if you did not receive any letter then feel assured that your son-daughter is doing fine thus far. It is hoped that those who did receive notices of students fail ures to this point are not solely due to lack of attendance. I hope the community will assist the fund-raising activities of the Indian Club. Such an activity has been the bottle drive. Any other activity which will raise money will be greatly appreciated. Furthermore, the Homecoming Parade of the 28th is an important event, where the Indian Club could put in a parade float. Your ideas and assistance are needed for the Homecoming Parade. —I cannot stress enough con cerning my role as a counselor. Please call when you need my services. Parent or Student!
