April 26 was the last day for PE
teacher Janna Culler at the Warm
Springs Elementary. Miss Culler is
Canadian and her Visa expired, she
is returning to British Columbia,
Canada. During the government
strike her paperwork was not
processed so her visa was not
renewed.
Culler was honored as one of the
many teachers who pulled together
to sec that children made it home
safe during the flood in February. All
the teachers rode buses with the
children to their homes. They wanted
to be sure their parents or someone
was there waiting for them.
For many teachers this is the first
time ever leaving the Campus area
and going into the community.
Teachers are now beginning to
participate in community gatherings
and activities to learn w hat the Warm
Springs people are about. By doing
this they feel they are getting a better
understanding of where the children
come from and what their
environment is outside of school.
The children's cultural upbringing
makes a difference in their behavior
at school. The community
involvement helps the teachers
understand that in the children.
Not only have the teachers come
together during the flood but during
the illness of Dawn Smith.
At the end of the year each teacher
will be recognized for their
commitment to the school and
children. A parent representative The school will also have a fun
from each classroom is organizing day with races and oilier events lor

Second annual Spring Program held at Warm Springs Elementary School gym May 1.
May 3, 1996 will always be remembered by all fourth graders of the Warm Springs Elementary School,
because on this day they witnessed a tree planted in their memory of their last year in the Warm
Springs school. School Principal Dawn Smith was also at hand to assist and be with the kids on this
memorable day. The Lund tree was donated by Kah-Nee-Ta Resort and will be an annual event for all
4th grade students here at Warm Springs Elementary. According to Tom Hopper, Kah-Nee-ta Resort
grounds employee, the tree was donated to them by PGE and will grow about 10 to 12 inches a year
and will provide plenty of shade in years to come. A big thank you goes out to Francisco and Mark
who helped dig the hole and also another huge thank you to PGE and Kah-Nee-Ta Resort for the
donation of the tree from all the 1996 Warm Springs fourth graders.

Continued on page 9
On Saturday, April 27 Fuji Films
and crew were on location (Shitike
Creek road and Highway 26 north
grade) to shoot the continuing saga
of "From Oregon With
Love. "According to interpreter
Teresa Nakajima, the series began
13 years ago and parts of the series
have been filmed in five other
locations on the Warm Springs
Reservation. The producer Mr.
Kamata, really likes this area and
would like to continue to come back
ind film in the future for parts in the
series. Mr. Kamata and the entire
film crew have enjoyed coming to
Warm Spring in the past because of
the warm welcome they've gotten.
In the scene shot near Shitike
Creek, two young boys (Haruhiko
Kato and Ryu Nakamura) are seen
on horse back coming down a hill
delivering two horses to a ranch.
The two boys and another man (Ikko
Furuya) are the main actors. The
two boys are on a journey to find
their real father (Ikko Furuya) who
they have not seen since they were
very young.
From Warm Springs, the Fuji
Film crew will head to Bend, John
Day, Portland and back to Japan.
It's uncertain of when, if ever this
part of the series will appear in the
United States.
