is Barbara Poncho, who has been a
SMART reader for three years at
Warm Springs Elementary. She says,
"It's nice to form bonds with these
little kids, the excitement in their
faces when they see me, their faces
light up." Poncho enjoys working
with children and the reader program
just falls into place and seems natural
to her.
She goes on to say, "I was

my son was in the SMART Program.
The progress he made and he's
learned to enjoy and like reading.
That's why I got started. Watching
his reader with him and them forming
a friendship, his memories of her and
the fondness he had for her. The
reading she did with him was inviting.
Plus, I wanted to become more
involved with my son in school."

Special Notice
On February 26, 7:00 p.m., the
Jefferson County Middle School staff
will be here to provide an orientation
to interested 4th grade Warm Springs
Elementary students and their
families. Please plan to attend with
your 4th grader. The orientation will
be held in the WSE Gym.
WSE Book Store
The grand opening of the WSE
Student Book Store was February 3.
The store will be in Room 20 on
Tuesday and Thursday mornings
before school starts from 8:00 to 8:30
a.m. The cost of each book will be
$1.00. The purpose of the book store
is to encourage students of WSE to
create their own home library and
enjoy reading at home. The school
book store is non-profit. Funds from
books purchased will go toward the
purchase of more books for the store.
School immunization requirements
The Oregon Health Division has
announced new school immuniza
tion requirements, which will be
phased into the beginning with the
199899 school year. One of the vac
cines that will be required is the
Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine for
children previously unimmunized or
without a valid history of the disease.
Chicken pox is a disease few parents
consider vaccinating children
against. The disease is more serious
than people realize, and can cause
severe complications, such as sec
ondary infections. Physician docu
mentation of the disease will not be
necessary but parents will be asked
to sign a statement testifying their
child has had the disease in order to
be exempt from receiving the vacci
teacher's aide and eventually became
a head teacher. She is now the Infant
Outreach Coordinator. She has a
fondness of working with kids and
being around them.
Poncho has an Associates degree
in Early Childhood Education which
she received at Lane Community
College.
"Working with children is a love
of mine," says Poncho. She also
works with children at the Baptist
Church where she is a preschool
teacher and child caretaker. At the
church they do a lot of reading of
Bible verses and stories from the
Bible.
"A lot of my time is spent doing
things for the church, being
responsible to the church also means
being responsible to the community."
"My husband and I are both
employed and we try to show concern
for our family. It's real important for
us to do things together as a family,
understand each other and respect
each other as a family. We try to be
there and show each other respect
and support each other, taking interest
in each other's interests," says
Poncho. They have their son Brandon
and a foster child, Carlena.
Showing respect and
understanding each other is
something she likes to carry on to her
readers. She feels good about being
involved with the kids at the school.
Kids she has read to in the past
remember her and consider her a
friend.
"It's wonderful to see the young
men from the Salmon Corps reading.
I wish more people become involved.
It's a blessing for yourself and
growing experience for a child.
Reading is a part of everything that
people do and is a big part of one's
life and I encourage people to become
involved in the reading program or
to read at home." Poncho concludes.

District 509-J applies for Impact Aid Funds
Jefferson County School District 509-J recently submitted its 1999 (FY99) application for
Federal Impact Aid Funds under Section 8003 in Title VIII of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act of 1965. Funds received under this program are in lieu of local property taxes that
would be collected if the properties were not exempt for the Federal Government. These funds are
included in the District's general fund budget and are used for regular operating purposes. The law
does not designate any specific expenditures from the entitlement, however, some restrictions are
placed on funds generated by students with disabilities. The FY99 application count was based on
students eligible under four categories as displayed below.
