On Friday. Jan. 26, lone Community School's Camp
5 guest instructor was Jannie Allen. Allen, a teacher at
Heppner Elementary School, took grades two through six
and shared her knowledge and skill with them making
decoratively painted rocks. “All the kids had fun and there
were no rocks thrown," in the words of Vicky Wagenblast,
coordinator of the extra-curricular program.
Wagenblast took the kindergarten through second
graders and painted wooden duck note holders. The bills
of the ducks were made of clothespins, which served as
the note holders.

grades 3-12. The exact date has not been set, but watch
the newspaper for details or check the school’s website at
