COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL APRIL 26, 2017 3C Happenings at Latham Tuesday Clubs Our April Afterschool Clubs were a hit this month!! Classes include Chess, Rag Rugs, Gar- den Club, Birdhouses, and a Preschool Storytime with Mrs. McMichael, our Kindergarten teacher. The preschool story time allowed future kinder- garten students to get a taste for what they will see and do in kindergarten next year. A BIG thank you goes to all of our volunteers! Lion’s Pride Pageant/Penny War Fundraiser This is the third year that Latham students, com- munity, and staff have participated in a Penny War to raise money to give to the Lion’s Pride Pageant which in turn donates it to the Children’s Mira- cle Network. The Children’s Miracle Network provides money for the Springfi eld Riverbend Sacred Heart Hospital’s neonatal and pediatric units. The students listened to a presentation in which the high school participants in the pageant explained what their “pennies” would be used for. The staff and students look forward to the Penny War each year; pennies are the positive points and silver/currency take away from the penny totals. Each year we have raised more money than the previous year. This year Latham raised $604.59! Awesome job!!! Latham’s Garden Many hands are coming together to get our gar- den ready for some new plants. Kids can visit the garden during their recesses and one of our Tues- day Clubs had a gardening theme. We were also fortunate to get a new fence this spring thanks to a grant. If you are interested in being a part of this gar- den adventure, please give us a call at (541) 942- 0147. We just purchased a nice greenhouse using our Farm to School grant and are excited that we will be able to extend our gardening time. 4th and 5th grade caught a break and were able to go to Mt. Pisgah on the most beautiful day of the spring. Dorena Panthers just fi nished this year’s Spirit Week and we haven’t added up the points, but everyone had a great time. We dressed up in past decade clothes and as story book characters, wore all the colors in the rainbow (plus a few) and of course wore our school colors to school. We had our fi rst Dorena Art Show and Sale this month and we found out we had some real artist among us. Artist Teri Robertson from the Lane County, Artist in Residence program, spent a week with students teaching them how about lines, shapes and how they work together to form cartoons. The art show was a great success and many students sold their art to staff and parents. Some of the art will be framed and put in the cafeteria, the library, the front offi ce and the principal’s offi ce. Changes in Flex time yields results for Lincoln Update from Dorena Lincoln Middle School has seen its referrals drop after instituting the Tiger Pride room, a place where students can talk out their struggles. The school also made changes to the daily schedule which allows students to choose a wider variety of electives and gives teachers more time, effectively lowering failing grades.
