In its spring newsletter,

covered the cost of emer-
gency freezer repairs. Also,
Ella Vore and members of
Victory Baptist Church pro-
vided family items and toys
and sponsored a room at
Martha’s House.
The Hermiston nonprofit
organization also received
word from the Good Shep-
herd Community Health
Foundation that its grant
request to install a fence
at Martha’s House was
approved. The addition will
provide kids at the house a
safe place to play.

More than two dozen
lucky students are pedal-
ing into the summer on
new bicycles thanks to the
Bikes for Books Program of
Hermiston Masonic Lodge
No. 138.
Because of COVID-
19, the Masons adapted
the program, which still
allowed them to award five
bikes to students at each of
Hermiston’s five elemen-
tary schools. During the
month of May, anytime a
student in second through
fifth grades got 100% on an
Accelerated Reader quiz,
their name was put into a
drawing for a brand new
bike. In June, the winners
were announced.
Miranda Hunt said Bikes
for Books has been going
for many years, and the
school district is grateful
for the willingness of the
Masons to continue the pro-
gram during the unusual
school year. Smiles, shouts
of joy, and surprised faces
were plentiful as each stu-
dent was presented with
their bike, and a helmet that
was donated by the Hermis-
ton Police Department.
