School supplies needed all year Ione student receives SELCO scholarship Payton Miller, Ione High School, received a scholarship of $2,500 from SELCO Community Credit Union. Miller was one of 20 Oregon high school seniors and one of only two eastern Oregon seniors awarded the scholarship. The other eastern Oregon recipient is Zachary Schwin, Baker City. Each scholarship recip- ient received $2,500 — up from $1,500 per scholarship in previous years — to use toward college-related expenses. The scholarships are part of SELCO’s mis- sion to aid member-owners in achieving their goals. SELCO’s Scholarship Committee chose the re- cipients from applicants representing all 27 Ore- gon counties that SELCO serves. Recipients were selected based on criteria that included both academ- ic performance and com- munity involvement. To qualify, recipients had to be graduating from a four-year accredited high school in Oregon, have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5 and plan to attend an accredited two- or four-year college or university. In addition, every applicant was asked to submit an essay that an- swers the question: “What advice would you give your future self on your college graduation day?” IMESD receives grants for oral health program The InterMountain Ed- ucation Service District recently received several grants for its Oral Health Program that serves stu- dents in eastern Oregon. The Oregon Commu- nity Foundation granted $60,000 for the 2019-2020 school year, which will be the final year for this funding. The IMESD received $6,115 from the Good Shepherd Community Health Foundation, $4,488 from Wildhorse Founda- tion, $1,630 from Pendle- ton Trust Foundation and $1,000 from Hermiston Kiwanis to provide dental health education materi- als to elementary schools in Morrow and Umatilla Counties. Each elementary school will receive their own mini dental educa- tion lab with lessons on tooth brushing, flossing, the importance of fluoride varnish, nutrition and teeth and sealants. Another part of the Oral Health Program involves expanded practice dental hygienists from Advantage Dental from DentaQuest who provide screenings, Willow Creek Farmers Market will begin its 2019 summer season next Friday, June 21. There will be no farmers market June 28 due to an event conflict at the city park. Otherwise, the market will be held 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Friday through September at Hep- pner City Park. The vendor fee, which is used to pay vendor insur- ance, is $25 for the sum- mer for adults and $10 for school-age children. Registration and payment can be made the first time a vendor attends the market, and vendors are advised to bring their own tables. The vendors already lined up for this summer will bring to the market produce, baked goods, plants, jams and jellies and a variety of hand-made and artisan items.

JVB Dairy, owned and operated by John and Janna Vanden Brink, gave a large financial donation which was used throughout the school year to help students. With the support of the businesses and community members, the program is able to relieve the burden to families and help students have a successful school year. The Heppner Ele- mentary staff appreciates everyone who donates to the school supplies drive. No market June 28 Payton Miller Students learn to play tennis The students at Hep- pner Elementary and Hep- pner Jr Sr High need school supplies not only at the beginning of the year, but all year round.

The ladies, along with Mary Haguewood, taught the group to play tennis during their reading and recess time for three days. According to a spokesper- son, there were only a few tennis balls hit over the fence into the road where Melanie Smith picked them up and threw them back over the fence. At the end of the les- sons, Mrs. Elguezabal gave each student a tennis racket and some balls to allow fluoride treatment, sealants, dental kits and referrals for students ages pre-kin- dergarten through twelfth grade. From July 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, the program served more than 8,000 children. “We are excited to have continued funding through the Oregon Community Foundation and local sup- port from so many founda- tions and Advantage Dental from DentaQuest in order to ensure the sustainability of our program through the 2019-20 school year and beyond,” said Cathy Wamsley, coordinator of IMESD’s school-based Oral Health Program. “It’s not just what I do, it’s who I choose to be.” Passionate, Energetic, Attentive, Focused A Healthier Morrow County is Within Me.
