Volunteers sought for PeaceHealth Peace Harbor services
The Peace Health Peace
Harbor Volunteers (PHV) are
looking for new members who
want a meaningful, fulfilling
volunteer experience.
Volunteers provide a multi-
tude of services to PeaceHealth
Peace Harbor Medical Center.
In the month of July, more than
2,109 hours of volunteer time
was provided to staff and
patients locally. In 2015, more
than 20,000 hours were given
by volunteers.
However, more volunteer
help is always needed.
PHV works in nearly every
area of the hospital. Visitors
can see the La Poloma golf cart
transporting documents around
the hospital campus daily. The
service in invaluable to the
hospital.
Volunteers also work in the
visiting physician clinics, hos-
pice, same day surgery, the hos-
pital gift shop, hospital lobby
and other areas on the campus.
For those who enjoy crafts,
the Tuesday Workshop makes
projects for the gift shop and
hospital, as well as baby blan-
kets and Healing Blankets for
patients.
Whatever your area of inter-
est, there is a gratifying volun-
teer experience waiting for
you.
Consider volunteering for
this vital organization.
PHV will be holding its
annual mandatory training/
in-service meetings on Sept.
15, and Oct. 20, at 11:30 a.m.,
at the Florence Events Center,
715 Quince St.
Lunch is provided and flu
shots will be available to vol-
unteers only. Volunteers must
attend one of these meetings.
To RSVP for this meeting or
for more information on volun-
teer opportunities, call Rosalie
Johnson at 541-902-1368 or
Monica Kosman at 541-903-
8308.
PTA holds Every Student Succeeds Act community forum
The public is invited to a
community forum hosted by
the Florence Community PTA
and sponsored by Oregon
State PTA, covering the topic
of ESSA (Every Student
Succeeds Act).
This relatively new legisla-
tion, signed into law on Dec.
10, 2015, reforms the 50-
year-old ESEA (Elementary
and Secondary Education
Act) and replaces the No
Child Left Behind Act of
2002.
ESSA focuses on a goal of
preparing
all
students
throughout K-12 grades for
success in college and careers.
What does ESSA mean in
Oregon? The forum will focus
on this question, with an
emphasis on assessments.
Focus will be on how
ESSA is to be implemented in
Oregon, and what it means for
local school districts.
Speakers include represen-
tatives from the Oregon
Department of Education, the
Oregon
Education
Association and Oregon
PTA’s President, Collin
Robinson.
A panel discussion is
planned, with time for ques-
tions from attendees.
Local PTA unit leaders
from around the region will
be attending a leadership
training during the morning
hours that day, including a
networking lunch at noon.
Afternoon forum attendees
are welcome to attend the
lunch as well.
Anyone interested in edu-
cation in Oregon will want to
attend: teachers, school
administrators and staff, par-
ents and community mem-
bers.
The event will be held at
Siuslaw Middle School, 2525
Oak St., on Saturday, Sept.
17, from 1 to 3 p.m.
For more information, con-
tact Florence PTA representa-
tive and Oregon PTA Region
6 director Diane McCalmont
at 541-999-9692.
The National PTA mission
“is to make every child’s
potential a reality by engag-
ing and empowering families
and communities to advocate
for all children.”
