"Safe School
Hotline" for 509-J
In order to assist in providing a
safe learning environment for stu
dents attending the school in Jefferson
County School District, we have
created a "Safe School HOTLINE".
We are encouraging the publica
tion of the phone number to parents,
students and community members.
Following is information about the
HOTLINE.
Purpose: To allow students and
the community the opportunity to
control, monitor and report activities
within and around the school that
may put themselves and others in
danger.
How does it work: When students,
parents or community members ob
serve, witness or hear of a potential
danger occurring in the school setting,
they report it to the HOTLINE phone.
A phone has been designated to
record the calls from the students
that an administrator will screen and
act upon accordingly.
The caller can leave a name if
they wish to have feedback or they
can remain anonymous.
Phone number: 475-0390
If you have any questions re
garding this new procedure to assist
in making a safer environment for
the students of Jefferson County
Schools, please contact me at
475-7265.
Thank you for your help

a home
Since their wedding in 1985
Sam and Alicia Hess have
dreamed of owning a log
home. Their dream is now a
reality since they purchased
Charley's Market to become
their home.
They were on a day trip to
Mount Hood with their church
youth group. Sam doesn't
know how to ski so he went to
Kah-Nee-Ta Resort instead. On
his way there he saw the for
sale sign on Charley's Market.
He told Alicia about it and they
came back to get a closer look
and entered their bid in the
silent auction.
Alicia says, "It was
constructed the same year we
were married, the same year
we dreamed of owning a log
' home."

Travis Wells "It's been a long
summer and I hope they're anxious
to go back to school. My oldest boy
is looking forward to going back to
school now and to participating in
sports at the middle school. He wasn't
able to last year as a fifth grader. My
youngest one will be starting
kindergarten. It will be a new
experience for him coming out of

been so short. I'm not really too
happy about school. I like
participating in sports and stuff."
Iris Smith, "I think it's fine for them
to return back to school. They should
be going back to school! A lot of
them are having hard times at home,
and school is an escape for them. I
feel bad because a lot of the parents
don't help them. They have to help
themselves by running around trying
to get money for school clothes or
other needs."

Janet Bagley, "I think it's good for
them to be learning. It also gives the
child and the parent a break from
each other."
Harold Pennington, "I feel as if
classes are starting early. It's been a
short summer and I havn't been able
to see my kids as much as I wanted
to. Because of this nice warm weather
we are having, it's been nice spending
time with them before they return to
school. Too bad classes start next
week instead of after Pendelton
Round-Up." .
