Ione student honored in state- Heppner Little League receives
grant
wide art contest
Madison Orem, a sixth
grader from lone Commu-
nity School, was honored
by Oregon Agriculture in
the Classroom Foundation
(AITC) during a reception
held at the Oregon State
Fair on Sunday, Aug. 27.
Orem’s artwork was
chosen from artwork sub-
mitted by 2,163 students
from 32 counties featuring
Oregon agriculture and
natural resources. The win-
ning art is published in a
school-year calendar and
distributed statewide. The
contest is open to all Or-
egon public, private, charter
and homeschool students
in kindergarten through
sixth grade. Since Oregon
produces over 220 different
commodities, students have
a wide variety of subjects
from which to choose.
Orem said, “My art-
work is of a John Deere
combine cutting wheat at
sunset. I chose to draw
this because I grew up on
a wheat farm. I wanted
to draw something I was
involved with and show

people a part of my life.”
“The calendar contest
is a great project for teach-
ers and students. It gives
them an opportunity to
teach about and discuss
the bounty and beauty of
Oregon agriculture and
incorporate art into their
classrooms,” said Jessica
Jansen, AITC Executive
Director and coordinator
for the calendar contest.
Each month of the calendar
features artwork by one of
the winning students and
each day of the year has a
fact about agriculture.
Besides having their
artwork published in the
calendar, each winning stu-
dent received a $50 award
and certificate. The artwork
of all 13 winners was dis-
played at the Oregon State
Fair.

the Classroom Foundation

nization dedicated to help-
ing students grow in their
knowledge of Oregon’s
agriculture, environment
and natural resources. AITC
provides free educational
lessons, activities and re-

4:30 p.m. on Sept. 10. Par-
ents or guardians must to be
present with their children
to complete the necessary
paperwork and pay dues,
which are $10/year per stu-
dent. The AWANA program
is the combined effort of
five local churches to teach
children about the Bible.
Games, songs, a Bible les-
son and prizes are included
during a typical club meet-
ing.

mander Dale Bates at 541-
