Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Page 7 January 27? 201 0 Tribes emphasizing need for more grants Stalking awareness B y D a ve M cM ech an Spilyay Tymoo Management o f the Confed erated Tribes has put more em phasis on the need for depart m ents to seek grant funding. Toward that goal, chief opera tions officer Gerald Smith de veloped the grant writing coor dinator position. As grant writing coordinator, Jolene Atenc'io works with ¡a team o f individuals from vari ous department and enterprises o f the .tribes.1 The team is ex amining the essential informa tion o f successful grant appli cations. Some o f the team members have experience with the grant; process. Tribal Utilities manager Don Courtney, for instance, has years ,of such experience, as police chief and now as Utilities manager. The law enforcement grants can be quite large,, in the hun dred? o f thousands o f dpllars, Courtney said. When dealing with the large grants,, he said, it; is important tp spend the allocated funding within the allotted time. Other wise, the funding is.returned to the granting entity,.which creates a poor reflection on the party receiving the grant. More recently, Utilities re ceived a grant to study how to make tribal buildings more en ergy efficient, while ,the media center received grant funding to install solar energy panels. The total grant allocation for these projects was $130,000, Myra Johnson Orange, direc tor o f Culture and Heritage, works on language-preservation grants, which can be funded through the National Parks Ser vice./. S Corey .Clemdnts, director o,f the Workforce Education, and Development Department, has worked on adult and youth em- ployment and education grants. These are'through the Depart m ent H e alth , and Hum an Services. F am ily o f Jim m y W esley Sr. Interested in a health science career?

It is wonderful to be a part of this excellent staff. This is the last year of our Reading First Grant. The grant provided us with professional development, coaching and materials to improve our reading program. Through our training, we gained knowledge that we apply to our analysis of data related to student achievement, teaching and leadership so we can continue to refine our reading program. We are applying the knowledge from our Reading First Grant and Last day of 2nd quarter No School- Teachers work on report cards Ü February Math Facts in a Flash 15 No School— Presidents’ Day First and second grade students have been working on mastering their basic addition and subtraction facts. Using a computer-based program called Math Facts in a Flash, students practice their math facts and then take a test. Students start out at level 0,1 where they need MHS Drama Club presents: “ Snow Child” to correctly answer 40 problems adding 0 or 1 in two minutes. After mastering that level, they move on to the next. Students work their way up to adding 10 to a number before moving on to subtraction. Students are excited about their progress and think using the computer to learn is fun. “I like Math Facts in a Rash because I am timed and it makes me want to know my math facts even faster so I can go to the next level,” said second grader Kelsey Olivera. Shane Derowitsch said, “I like using the computer because it tells me right away if the answer is wrong, then I know for the next time." “ Reading class is fun!” Justin Smith, Second Grade Madras Elementary has been fortunate to have several different teaching materials for reading instruction. Teachers have all been through rigorous training for each program. Students are assessed on a regular basis and teachers use that information to find the tool that best suits each specific students academic needs. Teachers meet monthly to talk about student progress and new strategies to help each other professional development to our new math program. This is the first year of our new mathematics adoption and we are excited to see improvement in our students' understanding of math skills and concepts. I look forward to a student be a successful reader. Each student and reading class follows a pacing plan. Teachers are well aware of what standards their students need to master at each grade level. It is our goal to have each student reading at the appropriate great year of academic growth and achievement for our students. On behalf of the staff and myself, I want to thank you for the honor of teaching your children. My door is always open if you want to stop by or call (541 -475-3520). I look forward to visiting with you. January 28 29 Leadership Corner privilege to return to Madras Elementary. One of my first teaching Resort and Casino Saturday ■ M ay 1. 2 0 1 0 .
