HES site council discusses school report cards
Heppner Elementary School
Principal, Phyllis Danielson, at
the Site Council meeting
February 8, reported on the
school report card.
Heppner Elementary received
a "Satisfactory" rating. Copies of
the district and school report
cards have been sent home to
each parent. Ethnicity and school
participation areas were clarified
and a paper was distributed that
discussed "frequently asked
questions" about the school
report cards. A discussion
followed on the different ratings
for each of the schools.
Guest Speaker, Tania Wildbill,
special projects coordinator res.
development/marketing specialist
from the Umatilla-Morrow ESD,
discussed "grant writing" with
members of the council.
Wildbill explained the need to
have a concrete idea and then
build the grant around that idea.
She stated that a thorough budget
and accounting for every dollar
are vital. Major support for the
project is also necessary.
It was discussed that HES
might be interested in improving,
the school report card rating.
Visiting schools that received an
"Exceptional Rating" and seeing
what worked for those schools
would be important, the council
determined
Wildbill said she will read the
grant and help write it once a
specific idea and funding source
have been identified. The council
showed "a lot of enthusiasm" for
visiting "Exceptional" schools.
Danielson said she will attempt
arrangement of visitations.
Wildbill also shared
information on the Oregon
Reading Summit, March 10-11,
regarding reading programs put
on by the Oregon Department of
Education. This is a free
workshop.
The next meeting of the
Heppner
Elementary
Site
Council will be March 6, starting
at 6:30 p.m. at the HES Library.
The public is invited to attend.

The Heppner FFA club took a
field trip to Hermiston to visit the
District FFA Creed Speaking
Contest on Jan. 27.
The trip was a learning
experience for members. They
could see what the event was like
and how to do well in it in
following years.
The contest consisted of two
parts, the speaking of the FFA
Creed and then individual
presentations on an agricultural
issue.
Thirteen people gave the creed
and five gave presentations at the
competition this year.
The Heppner FFA also made
an appearance at the MCGG
Appreciation Day Breakfast.
Members Josh Hill, Tracy Baker,
Cory Miller and Dan Jepsen
showed up to help run the kids'
tricycle course. A couple
members even tried out the
course themselves, though they
didn't receive a free ice cream
cone certificate like everyone
else.
This past Wednesday the FFA
had its second bowling and pizza
party. Members had a good time,
even if none of their scores
exceeded 120.
The next event coming up is
the State FFA Convention in
Ontario to be held this spring.
Members
must
pass
qualifications to attend.
