lone Community School students assist the Red Cross
Heppner High School held a Noise Parade, Thursday, Sept. 22, as part of Homecoming Week.
The parade began at HHS and traveled through town, stopping at the Shamrock to sing the
school song before heading for a finish at the football Held.
Pictured are lone Community School students along with their teacher, Lindsay Orem, and
Bank of Eastern Oregon employees from the lone branch.
Written by the lone
Journalism Club
L in d say O rem , a
teacher at lone Community
School was trying to decide
how she co u ld tie her
student’s concerns regarding
Hurricane Katrina victims to
the learning in her classroom
when she decided that a coin
drive would be the answer.
“I wanted my students to
know that they could make
a difference and not just feel
bad about what happened in
New O rleans,” comments
Orem.
As an incentive for
students to participate, a
pizza party was promised to
the two highest classroom
collections and popsicles for
all. However, as time went
by and the totals began to
climb, the teacher’s room
was buzzing with pride over
the s tu d e n ts ’ g en ero u s
contributions and a decision
was made to honor the entire
school with a pizza party
donated by Collier’s Market
in lone. “I ended up learning
more from the students and
am touched with the effort
students put out for this
cause,” Orem added as she
and her students carried cans
of coins into the bank.
For two weeks the
students at lone Community
School searched family cars,
couches and piggy banks for
a total of $3,031.25. The
lone High School Student
Council then contributed
$250, along with a $500
donation from the Bank of
Eastern Oregon to bring the
grand total to $3,831.25.
Money from the coin drive
is designated for the Red
Cross and Hurricane Katrina
victims.
S tu d en ts at lone
Community School are also
collecting school supplies
and backpacks to send to
sch o o ls w here stu d en ts
d isp laced by H u rrican e
Katrina are now attending.
Michelle Stone's 4,h and 5,h
grade class have also begun
writing pen pal letters to
students in hopes to brighten
th e ir day and create
friendships.
