Stanfield kicks off
Dino-Story program
By JADE MCDOWELL
NEWS EDITOR
Stanfield students have
an opportunity to learn
about dinosaurs this month
through a pilot program
from the Museum of Natural
and Cultural History at the
University of Oregon.
The Oregon Dino-Story
promises a “dino-mite
adventure” for students
looking to learn more about
what Oregon might have
looked like during the age
of the dinosaurs. It started
on Friday, April 9, when
Stanfield Public Library
Director Cecili Longhorn
and other library staff vis-
ited Stanfield classrooms in
dinosaur costumes to hand
out kits to each student to
participate.
Kits include activities
to learn about how fossils
form, measure how big dif-
ferent dinosaurs were, make
dinosaur crafts and play
memory games with cards
containing dinosaur facts.

Children and their par-
ents can also visit the Stan-
field Public Library to see
the dinosaur display, avail-
able until April 22.
“We have a display about
how to find dinosaurs, a
replica of the first dinosaur
bone found in Oregon, an
example of how big dino-
saur feet were, and other
things that you can walk
through,” she said.
Story time activities at the
library will also be focused
around dinosaurs this month,
and the StoryWalk display
under the water tower next
to the library is a book on
dinosaurs.
The Museum of Natural
and Cultural History at Uni-
versity of Oregon, located
in Eugene, has been closed
to the public during the
pandemic, but offers vir-
tual exhibits, family activ-
ity ideas and other “museum
at home” options. For more

Story and other outreach pro-
grams available to Oregon
