The Vernonia School District
Board of Directors, at their De
cember 13 meeting, enjoyed a
first-hand look at how funds
raised in last spring’s “Run for
the Arts" provided a program
the district would not otherwise
have been able to provide.
Michelle Eagleson and stu
dents from her third grade class
at Washington Grade School,
displayed masks they were
able to make this year because
of funding provided by Run for

The Vernonia Loggers boys
varsity basketball team opened
their 2001-2002 season No
vember 27, with a 60-38 win
against Columbia Christian
High School.
The Loggers played well in
the second half, but struggled
in the early going, showing the
rust of the offseason.
Applying pressure through
out the game, VHS forced the
Knights into many turnovers that
allowed the Loggers to score.
“We played well in the sec
ond half, but we will need to
play a much better game from
start to finish, if we are going to
compete this year," said Head
Coach Jeff Cheney.
Leading the scoring for Ver
nonia was senior wing Kyle
Cota, who finished the game
with 17 points, followed by ju
niors Paul Orlando and David
Koch, each with 8 points.
All 12 varsity players got
time on the floor, with all but
one contributing points.

lum.), Eagleson explained that
Valerie Otani, an arts specialist
funded by Run for the Arts, vis
ited the third grade class four
times. Eagleson was the model
for the first visit, when Otani
demonstrated to a rapt audi
ence of third graders how to
make a plaster cast of Eagle-
son’s face. Working in teams, a
mask was made of each child’s
face. The masks were then
painted and decorated as ani
mals, to coincide with a science
unit the class was also study
ing. The entire process was
captured on slides by parent
volunteers working in the class
and developed into a presenta
tion by Eagleson and her stu
dents.
Three students attended the
meeting with Eagleson. Zak
Smith showed the board his
red, yellow and green duck. A
picture in a book inspired Sab
rina Sulloway to paint her mask
as a red, black and violet frog,
and Parker Roach produced a
feathered owl mask.
The board was pleased with
the presentation, which demon
strated how one project could
operate across the curriculum
(arts, science and reading) us
ing both technology and locally
raised funds.
