More than 220 students and their teachers spent two hours picking up debris along South Main Street and Wilson Lane. The students filled 2 10 large trash bags, and picked up three couches and other items too large to fit in bags. This is the fifth year the school has participated in the clean-up. It is organized each year by Windy River staff and the City of Boardman’s code compliance offi cial. The city provides gloves, garbage bags and garbage disposal. The school provides the eager volunteers. “The clean up made a big difference in the ap pearance along Main Street, and the students all had fun” said John Russell, Boardman code compliance official.

On May 26, lone Schools Library Tech Cathy Hal vorsen and fifth-grade teacher Lea Mathieu had the pleasure of hosting a K-12 workshop by Oregon’s Poet Laureate, Paulann Petersen. Petersen met with lone elementary, middle and high school grades for 45-minute sessions. In the sessions, students learned to be creative in writing different types of poems. At the end of the day, each grade or indiv idual high school student read their poem in a final presentation to the public. Participants said they sincerely enjoyed Petersen’s presentation. One teacher felt it was one of the best presen tations given at the school in the past 20 years. “It was fun because of the easy going way it was presented and, also, it was rewarding to see all the kids stay on task and enjoy writ ing poetry.” The Oregon Poet Laureate is appointed by the gov ernor. The program is a collaborative project of the state’s five cultural partners, with funding from the Oregon Cultural Trust.
