This new program will be called HEROES (Heppner Elementary Reading Or ganization for Every Stu dent). Currently the orga nization is assisting in the funding of a new elementary reading program for Hep pner Elementary School. Prior to this time and for the past seven years, Hep pner Elementary School participated in SMART. The SMART program served 35 to 42 elementary school students in kindergarten through grade three. Each student was paired with a volunteer for a 30-minute session in which the child received one-on-one at tention to boost the child’s reading skills. The program not only increased reading test scores for Heppner El ementary students, it created a vested interest the students and their reading success in the community. SMART was a non profit group that supplied funding for one facilita tor for the school. The fa cilitator's job was to train volunteers and pair them with students. It was a great disappointment to learn in April of 2008 that SMART was canceling funding for the program at Heppner Elementary School. At that point the Morrow County School District was unable to supply funding to keep the program. Heppner Schools Adopt-A-Teacher was de signed for just such situ ations. It will contribute $4,000 toward to'keep the current facilitator employed during the 2008-09 school year. It will coordinate oth er fund raising efforts to raise an additional $1,000 to $3,000 needed to keep and even expand the current reading program. The new program will be called HE ROES, Heppner Elementary Reading Organization for Every Student. HEROES also plans on keeping the current SMART program facilitator, Barbara Moore. The H ep p n er Schools’ Adopt-A-Teacher is an Oregon non-profit corporation, which incor porated March 11,2003.

Addi tionally, the group sponsored a Buy-A-Brick fundraiser. For a donation, engraved bricks were purchased and inlaid in the sidewalk at the new Heppner Elementary gymnasium building. On the average, the group has organized four fundraisers a year. However; as with all new programs, fund- irig for this new program is desperately needed. We are currently researching grants and other money making ventures, but money and volunteers are needed. There will be a booth at the fair with handouts and pamphlets available to all who are interested in learn ing more. You can contact any of the Adopt-A-Teacher board members or HES staff if you have any more ques tions.

The members and Board of Directors recognize that educational funding in the State of Oregon has severely diminished creating a near crisis loss of programs. Adopt-A-Teacher was cre ated to help stem the loss of programs by raising funds and targeting staff and pro grams most in need of fund ing assistance. ' ’ The'Board ofDirec- tors is currently made up of three teachers, one school district board member and one parent. Attending the Adopt-A-Teacher Board meetings regularly are the Heppner school-building principals.
