dle schools.
In addition, Marohl has
served as the district’s STEAM
(Science, Technology,
Engineering, Arts and Math)
coordinator for the past three
years.
“Andy is so highly qualified
for this position,” Siuslaw
School District Superintendent
Ethel Angal said. “He was a
respected teacher at the middle
school and he has been a
leader in the district in a num-
ber of ways.”
Marohl also helped develop
the popular Outdoor
Adventures program for fifth
and seventh graders.
“He is solid instructionally
and this year he has served the
difficult role of being the
assistant principal for both the
elementary and middle
schools,” Angal said. “He has
shown good judgment and the
ability to work well with stu-
dents and families in that
role.”
According to Angal, Marohl
played a crucial leadership role
this past year in helping staff
with the laborious process of
converting the district’s com-
puter programming over to a
new software program called
Synergy.
“Our data conversion has
been very difficult,” Angal
said. “He has done an amazing
job with that.”
The school board decided to
select Grzeskowiak’s replace-
ment from current district
staff.
“I believe that in order to
build schools and build com-
munity relations it is good to
have people that are rooted in
our community whenever pos-
sible,” Angal said. “He is
going to be wonderful in the
role of middle school princi-
pal.”

field trip for three classes.
Students also took part in a

Florence.
During the ceremony, mem-

form a wreath-laying ceremo-
ny on the river.
At 1 p.m., the Veterans of
Foreign Wars will dedicate a
new flag pole as part of the

Henry, Greene and Preisler

current positions again.
“I plan to be at Kelli’s office
first thing on June 1,” Greene
said at the meeting.
In an email, Henry said,
“Absolutely I will run again. I
have enjoyed being mayor and
am very excited about the
things that are going on in our
city. I want to be there to see
them brought to completion.”

Cahoon was also chosen to
paint “Eco,” the Dancing with
Sea Lions entry for the
Siuslaw Public Library. It rep-
resents the ecosystems of
Oregon and is currently on
display outside the library.
Cards displaying his art-
work are available at the
Silver Sand Dollar in Old
Town.
Cahoon plans to study art in
college and eventually hopes
to become a college art pro-
fessor.
He has some advice for
other young artists.
“Don’t stop, ever. Even if
you are angry at a piece or
angry at something you have
done, just keep working,
whether it is on that same
piece or a different one. The
practice will train you to be
able to do better pieces,”
Cahoon said.
