I learned my limitations this year.” Making sure the educa- tion of school children runs smoothly — so that the stu- dents learn the lessons prop- erly, have their questions answered and leave thinking about their experience at Hay- stack Rock — takes a lot of work, said Maryann Sinkler, a former Friends of Haystack Rock board member. To separate the education part from the volunteer co- ordination part into two staff positions is “really ideal in my opinion,” Sinkler said. Ferber said that having the new stand-alone position can help the program evolve on the education front. “We should continue to ask ourselves, ‘Is this the best way that we should be teach- ing the kids? Is there another activity that may engage the kids more?’” CANNON BEACH GAZETTE The Cannon Beach Gazette is published every other week by EO Media Group. out of county. 1555 N.
