Class parties are beneficial
by Ed (DUSO) Roley
This school year includes three
classroom parties, usually in
volving a half hour to an hour'
of class time. Since I recently
overheard a comment to the
effect that there is little benefit
for students in school parties,
I'd like to take this opportunity
to present a different viewpoint.
School parties can become ex
cellent learning situations. Let
me tell you about one I attended
and you can make up your own
mind.
I can't speak for all school
parties since I don't attend them
all, but I do know about one

Alternatively, this money could
be used, after being properly
budgeted, for construction or
remodeling projects. Ross ex
plained. "The College's tax base
approved in November, 1982,
has served us well," President
Fred Boyle says. "At the time it
was approved, one advantage
we anticipated was the ability to
plan more efficiently. Unless
there is a deterioration of reve
nues from state reimbursement
or student tuition and provid
ing that inflation remains reason
ablethe College will be able
to operate through 1989 within
its tax base."

other adults at tables
selling a variety of goodies to
the kindergarten children who
had an equal number of play

purchases of the goodies of their
choice as their parents would
do in a shopping mall.
The party was very much a
learning situation for the child

were making decisions, as well
as budgeting their money, and

The students initially placed
first in their class in a contest
held at the elementary school.
The local entries were then sub
mitted to the area-wide contest ,
in further competition with stu
dents from Washington, Oregon
and Idaho. ,
Students placing in the area- ;
wide contest were awarded
monetarily, Jesse receiving $25 .00
and Mavis winning $10.00.

purchased their goodies. One
student would only buy a single
brownie, choosing to save his
money for another time or per
haps to show it to his parents,
even after reminders that he
couldn't spend it at Macy's. The
clerks were instructed to allow
the children to think for them
selves as they used the social
skills discussed before the party.
Creative teachers like Mrs.
Henry will turn school activities
into learning situations by creat
ing a learning environment, which
is exactly what she did with this
party.
Parents are always welcome
to come into the school and see
for themselves what is happen
ing to their children in the name
of education. If you do I think
you'll like what you see.

Students at Warm Springs
Elementary became acquainted
with three birds that share their
environment when Oregon High
Desert Museum volunteers
brought a Birds of Prey exhibit
to the school.
The portable Birds of Prey
exhibit enabled students to get
a close-up view of a great-honored
owl, long-eared owl and
sparrow hawk. An accompany
ing touch exhibit permitted the
students to actually touch wings
and bones of birds. Following
the presentation students were
given activity sheets which coor
dinate their studies with the
knowledge gained in the exhibit.
Over 9,000 students through
