They will have several classes o f students who may need ad ditional help or tutoring at both Jefferson County Middle School and Madras High School.

Dawn Hendrix has taught at JCMS for several years, but her eighth grade language arts teach ing position was cut due to bud get constraints. Now she will be the Title V II/JO M teacher at JCMS. “I thought that this job would be a really good fit for me,” Hendrix said o f her new posi tion. Hendrix has ties to the Warm Springs community already af ter teaching summer classés in “I ’m trying to design it to kind o f be a safe place to come and hang o u t,” H en d rix ex plained. She added, “I welcome the community to come and talk to me if they had any ideas.” JCMS Principal K en Clark said students can benefit from the classes in a variety o f areas depending on w here they are struggling. “T hat’s the key to it— giving the kids the additional help where they need it,” Clark explained.

This year she will be finish ing a few second year language courses for students already in volved in the French and Ital ian programs as well as teaching the Title V II/JO M study skills classes.

Because the students in these classes have often been told something is wrong with them, she added, she hopes to help them believe they are capable o f anything. For some, Knoy added, it just takes a d iffere n t m an n er o f learning. “I want to find a way to say, ‘Wow, I can see you’re smart,”’ Knoy explained. “That way they know they have a chance.” According to Knoy, “Its such a cool thing when you get to see kids start to see when they’re smart and what they’re capable of.” “As much as I miss my French and Italian classes, this feels much more productive,” Knoy added. Still, it’s a daunting task to have to figure out how to help each individual student, Knoy said. For that reason, she said, she realizes that it could take awhile to help some o f them. “I give myself permission to say it takes as long as it takes,” Knoy said.
