Self-satisfaction keeps Julie exercising
"Satisfaction with myself is my
primary motivator and keeps me
exercising," says Julie Mitchell,
January Exerciser of the Month,
who was recently selected for that
honor by the Wellness Office.
Julie, a mother of one, has very
little free time. As Early Childhood
director, Julie's schedule requires
that she be healthy and mentally
and physically fit for whatever the
job demands. On Mondays, Wed
nesdays and Fridays, Julie partici
pates in the noontime aerobics class
and spends time on the rowing
machine. On Tuesdays and Thurs
days, she plays volleyball or runs
and on the weekends, she cross
country skis or rides a stationary
bike. She averages eight hours a
week participating in various athle
tic activities.
Julie began regularly exercising
when she became pregnant. "1
wanted to have a healthy child and
an easy, enjoyable pregnancy. I
didn't want to carry or gain excess
weight."
The benefits of exercise include
"reduced stress levels and a healthy
attitude toward myself and oth
ers." She is also able "to enjoy
physical activity at most levels"
and can serve as a positive role
model for her daughter.
Julie says she exercises day by
day, then "reviews the week to
make sure I have had one day off
and six days of exercise." Her
primary goal is to "continue exer
cising on the same schedule and
not set unreachable goals."
As for stumbling blocks, Julie
finds that keeping her lunch hour
unscheduled is a challenge because
that's her only free time. "An invi
tation to eat lunch is difficult to
refuse, but I would rather exercise
than eat." Injuries are also stum
bling blocks for her. "They make
exercise painful and days have to
be missed."
To get around those stumbling
blocks, Julie refuses lunch meet
ings and to eat out. She also tries
not to push herself beyond her
physical limits "I dont like being
injured or ill."
Julie says that her husband Isaac
and her daughter Natalie dont
routinely exercise, but that she
would like to interest them in nor
dic skiing and walking. "But they
need to be self-motivated." They
do swim together at Kah-Nce-Ta,
but it's more "therapeutic than
exercise."
If there were no limitations, Julie
would devote more time to run
ning. "I would like to run in the
morning, but my schedule limits
workouts to lunch hours only. My
limits are time." Running has its
drawbacks getting chased by dogs.
"There are too many mean dogs in
the good running neighborhoods.
Julie stresses that "exercise is
something you do for yourself. No
one can make you do it and no one
can claim its benefits but you."
And Julie's positive mental health
is a result of her physical health.
"Exercise has a different meaning
for every individual."

form or another.
Wants
Families, Tribe, and school
work to improve attendance
Students know well how attend
ing school regularly helps them to
keep up with their studies. Absen
ces cause students to fall behind in
their studies and become discour
aged. For this reason families of
Warm Springs Elementary students
have put forth much effort to see
that their children arrive at school
as regularly as possible. Due to
their efforts, our students have an
attendance rate of 93 percent. A
special thanks from us to all of the
families who have been so diligent
in waking up their children and
getting off to catch the bus, walk,
or ride to school.
At school we have a program
designed to further encourage stu
dents to attend regularly. At the
end of each quarter students who
have had regular attendance receive
the "Feather Award"for good atten
dance. Students who have been
absent three or less days receive
this award. (A tardy counts as a
half day's absence). During the
first quarter of this school year we
presented 215 students with these
awards. The second auarter which
ended January 23rd, had 164 stu
dents who received the "Feather
Award"for regular attendance. Our
"Feather Award" was designed by
Carol Wewa, a parent of one of
our students.
Even with all the efforts of most
Mrs. Cottel is the ERC teacher.
She works with 35 students in

with spelling, language, reading,
math, and physical and occupa
tional therapy.

families, we have some children
who continue to have problems
attending school regularly. To assist
these children and their families to
solve this problem, our counselor,
Ed Roley, the classroom teachers,
and I review attendance records
each week. Students who have unex
plained or excessive absences become
a focus of our attention. The class
room teacher contacts the family
by phone or letter to alert the fam
ily of the concern. In most cases,
the parent or guardian is able to
work with the teacher and Ed to
find a way to improve their child's
attendance. When a solution to the
problems does not develop, we
pass on our concern to Daisy Ike,
Juvenile Coordinator for the Warm
Springs Confederated Tribes.
Through the cooperative efforts of
the Juvenile Coordinator's office
and the school it is hoped we can
find the means to assist the family
to better meet the childs need to
attend school regularly.

December Class of the Month
The Outstanding Class of the
Month for December was awarded
to Ms. Rodgers' first grade class.
Ms. Rodgers'class has really shown
a great deal of improvement since
the beginning of school. They have
shown this in many different areas.
One area in which they have
shown such an improvement is in
the way they have begun to work
together as a class. The children
have learned that when they work
well together they can help each
other to learn more and to learn
faster. Their cooperation means
the class has better discussions and
creates even more interesting
projects.
Anyone who visits their class
room can see how they work dili
gently and quietly on what they are
doing. For example, when they
have finished their individual seat
work they were able to move to free
time activities, without any disrup
tions. They could choose any activ
ity they wished as long as they
could do it quietly by themselves or
with a friend.
Congratulations to Ms. Rodgers'
class for the great job they have
been doing in their classrooms.
Keep up the good work.

One of our school goals this year
has been to work to heb the child
ren learn to be more supportive of
each other. Mary Soliz's second
grade class has been selected as
Outstanding Class for the month
of January because of their pro
gress in this area. Miss Soliz reports
that her students have always been
polite to the many family members
that visit her classroom. Through
the school year they have been
learning to extend this same polite
ness to each other. They are giving
each other more compliments, at
the same time they are trying to be
less critical of their classmates.
Beginning last year, Mary Soliz
began grouping students together
into teams of four students. These
teams work together during certain
instructional activities to help each
other to master the lessons. During
social studies lessons, the students
listen to a presentation from their
teacher or read a selection together
from the textbook. After this pres
entation, they then work together
in their teams to complete an assign
ment on the material they have
been studying. The students have
learned to ask each other for
assistance, before they ask Miss
Soliz for help. When the assign
ment has been discussed and cor
rected, each student takes a quiz
over the material. It is hoped that
as the students learn to help each
other, they will be able to effec
tively pool their skills and under-
Denyer Sensibaugh, WSE Math
Specialist, held our second annual
Math Fair on February 3rd and
4th. During these two days, each
student had a chance to visit the
fair with hisher classroom. While
at the fair, each student went through
a series of math activities. At each
math station, students were chal
lenged to use their critical thinking
ability to solve math problems. For
example, students estimated the
distance they could throw a cotton
ball, the number of marbles they
could pick up in one hand, the
number of scoops of popcorn it
would take to fill a jar, and other
estimating activities. In some other
activities, students had to recon
struct patterns of colored shapes,
puzzles, construct graphs, and deter
mine how patterns were alike and
different.
Students in the third through
fifth grades asssited Mr. Sensibaugh
with the Math Fair. These students
worked at each station demonstrat
ing for the participants what was to
be done. All who attended were
impressed with the skill these stu
dents had at smoothly and effec
tively carrying out their duties.
Both teachers and students appre
ciated the large number of family
members who visitd the Math Fair
during the time their children were
participating in the activities. School
activities take on additional impor
tance to the children when their
families show interest in what they
are doing. Thank you for your
support.
January and February are
Legend Months at Warm
Springs Elementary
During these two months, stu
dents are reading and listening to a
variety of legends. The major source
of the legends is through "The
Indian Reading Series" which
was written and developed through
the Northwest Regional Labratory
in Portland. Several Warm Springs
residents were involved in this pro
ject as writers and illustrators. Other
means for studying legends has
been to listen to the legends that
are broadcast daily on KWSO,
reading legends from our collec
tions of books in our school library ,
listening to legends told by parents
of our students, and listening to a
come to attend our assemblies
Classroom Newsbits
Laurie Sensibaugh's third grade
classroom has been working all
year to improve their writing abil-
lesends. Thev draw oictures show
ing what happened in the legend.
They have listened to legends about
a hare and an otter, a sea witch, a
women that turned into a bear, and
more.

Godzilla welcomed children back to school from Christmas vucation in
Russell Kaiser's first grade classroom at Warm Springs elementary. The
students wrote about the impending figure. "Godzilla has sharp teeth. He
has a long tail. He has green arms and skin. He has sharp spikes on his
back. Godzilla is big. He is mean. He has two big feet. He eats meat and
plants. S ometimes he is funny. He is cute. He is dangerous. He could step
on people and crush them. He is fun to play with. Our Godzilla b not
real he is fake. He can eat dragons if they are mean to him. He can
squish buildings. Our Godzilla is just a balloon to took at and he is funny
when he sits on a chair. 1 ou are welcome to come and see our Godzilla"
