It was through your efforts that your children have become Outstanding Citizens. On Friday, January 12 a special celebration was held honoring 113 students who achieved perfect at tendance and were at school on time every day during the month of December. Congratulations to all involved. It was through your efforts, sup port and encouragement that your child is here every day and on time. Because you recognize and value the importance of education, your child will learn the value of this also. It is by being at school each and every day that children become successful and are able to achieve and advance beyond where they were the day before. We realize that each day in school is important in the life of a child.. During the past several months, some children have been bringing expensive toys, games, tape re corders and head phones to school. We would like to remind you, once again, that it is important for stu dents to leave these items at home. They can be broken, lost or stolen if they come to school and it causes much unhappiness for the child when this happens. If a child does bring an expensive item to school, it will be taken from the child and returned at the end of the day with a request to leave it at home. Occasionally a child will bring a large sum of money to school. We ask that large sums of money be left at home because once again, it is not safe to have this at school. When we become aware that a child has a large sum of money, we will either contact you by phone or send a note home about this. Your help in these matters is greatly appreciated. Although we have had some unseasonably warm weather this winter, we must keep in the bacic ot our minds the unpredictability of it and remind our children to be pre pared for the worst by dressing appropriately when the cold, wet stuff comes down. Sometimes they forget hats, gloves and even their coats resulting in cold bodies and sad faces. We appreciate your help in keeping your child comfortable.

Harmony in childhearing traditional concept We must not be silent any more. We must speak out. We must say: Enough is enough No more trouble No more crying No more frightened of the dark No more drinking to lose ourselves We are strong We have the power to say: Stop the abuse The concept of harmony has been an important one for most Indian groups. It refers to the bal ance and relationship between all things. In nature it refers to the balance and relationship between all things. In nature it refers to people living in a cooperative co- 4 1 If lit t ..

A Sioux man who was taught in the old way offered this exam ple: In his teaching, his grandmother took him out into a field and had him lie down in the grass with his ear to the ground. "What do you hear?" she would ask. "Nothing, Urandmother, " tie would say. "You're not listening," she would say, "Keep listening," Finally he heard something which he said sounded like "crunching." Grand mother was pleased and told him of the small things that have pur pose, that all things have a purpose and must be respected. This idea that all things large and small have purpose is also evi denced bv how people treated each other. Respect was the most im portant part of keeping harmony and the adults taught the children to respect people, but also showed respect for the child in many ways. In some tribes, the parent would not interrupt a child's play unne cessarily. In many tribes the choi ces and decisions of children were respected at a very young age. In the traditional home children were able to roam about freely because things that a child would get into were put out of reach. Children were given freedom to explore and figure out their own relationship with the world around them. Forexample.anlndianchild might be asked to observe some event in nature and then be asked. "What did you learn?" Seeing that the world fit together in a pattern of balance was an important lesson. Five days in Washington D.C. gave Madras High School senior Dorothy Kalama insight into the operation of the United States government. Selected as an Oregon represen tative to the National Young Lead er's Conference held November 7 1 2, Kalama was among 250 students from 41 states who were intro duced to the system of government in this nation from the three branches of administration to com mitees, lobbyists and the media. As a participant at the confer ence, Kalama was able to study the governmental process and actually take part in a mock Congress organized to show how a bill is amended. She became exposed to , the methods used in getting a bill passed, the conflicting attitudes of members of Congress and interest groups and the difficulty involved in writing a bill. Kalama also had the opprtunity to visit with Oregon senator Bob Packwood and representative Bob Smith. "Now I understand it (govern ment) more," says Kalama. She sees the thinking and planning necessary to lead the nation. She i:s I- 1 .
