Boardman
students choose
Friday school
Morrow County School
District students do not
attend school on Fridays,
since the district has a four-
day school week. But some
Sam Boardman and Windy
River elementary students
are choosing to go to school
on Fridays anyway. These
students are enrolled in
the Beyond the Bell pro-
gram, which is open to all
first- through sixth-grade
students. This is the sec-
ond year of the program,
although last year it was an
after-school model.
According to Brandon
Hammond, principal at Sam
Boardman, the program
currently has 162 students
enrolled, which is about a
quarter of the total student
population at both schools.

The program runs from
8 a.m. to noon, a total of
64 hours in the 2019-20
school year and includes
full breakfast and lunch.
Classes offered are
Reading, STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering
and Math), Creative Art,
Language and Culture, Li-
brary (stop-motion anima-
tion), P.E., Sewing, Word
Play, Social Studies, Ge-
nealogy and 1 st Grade Skill
Building.
Community members
and community organiza-
tions participate and help
teach, which include Or-
egon Trail Library Dis-
trict, the Sage Center and
Paula Hansen, a commu-
nity member who teaches
sewing.
“With the state stan-
dards we must meet, it’s
difficult to fit enrichment
classes into the regular
school day,” Hammond
said. “Beyond the Bell of-
fers students a wonderful
chance to explore other
interests and pursue new
things.”
The After the Bell pro-
gram is connected to the
schools’ Talented and Gift-
ed (TAG) program, whose
coordinators oversee it.
