Preparation gets underway for
annual 4-H wagon train project
The first monthly meeting of
this year’s Washington County
4-H Wagon Train will be W ed
nesday, Feb. 27, in the Clover
leaf Building at the Washington
County Fair Complex in Hills
boro. Enrollm ent form s and
fees will be collected.
M onthly meetings provide
training for the 70 to 80 mile
trek during the week of July 5-
13. Like pioneers, travel will be
on foot, on horseback and in
covered w agons pulled by
team s of draft horses and
mules. The program involves
coping with the challenge of
outdoor living, working cooper
atively in groups and sharing
chores. It also involves making
new friends and having fun!
Families have been enjoying
the program since 1982.
Meetings will be held on the
fourth W ednesday of every
month beginning Feb. 27 from
7:00 to 9:00 p.m. The meetings
are mandatory. An overnight
Tune Up Trek is scheduled for
June 22 and 23. This gives pio
neers a chance to try out newly
learned skills and equipment
before the actual Wagon Train.
Tuition is $150 for adults and
$125 for youth, with a fee of
$30 for hay, if you bring a
horse. The fee covers food and
support for the entire week.
Some economic assistance is
available, upon application, for
youth who might otherwise be
unable to afford the full tuition.
For more information on the
2002 4-H Wagon Train, contact
the 4-H office at 503-725-2110.

anks board reviews schools’ goals
Banks School District Board
of Directors set priorities for
employee negotiations, at their
February 11 meeting. The Con
solidated District Improvement
Plan (CDIP) for the 2002-2004
biennium was also presented
to the board.
According to Superintendent
Marilyn McGlasson the board
wanted to emphasize positive
goals for students and employ
ees in spite of the difficult eco
nomic climate. The negotiation
goals adopted by the board in
clude treating employees fairly,
maintaining strong communica
tion and a high level of trust
with staff, and educating all
parties on the financial picture
early in the process. Negotia
tions with both certified and
classified employees will begin
in March. Board Chairman
Willis Meeuwsen will represent
the board in negotiating with
both groups. He will be joined
by Ann Station in classified ne
gotiation and by Doug Nord-
holm in negotiations with certi
fied staff.
Elementary Principal Marty
Vogel presented the CDIP,
which consolidates im prove
ment goals for each of the dis
trict’s three schools and pro-
vides a brief introduction to the
district.
The elementary school has
identified three goals. The first
two goals are to improve stu
dent performance on standard
ized tests by at least two per
cent in the areas of math and
reading. The third goal is to re
duce the number of problem
solving referrals by 10 percent
in each of the next two years.
The junior high school also
set im provem ent in student
perform ance in reading and
math as two of their goals. Ad
ditionally the junior high has set
goals to utilize technology in all
curricular areas, and to in-
crease the percentage of stu
dents who meet or exceed the
benchmark in the state writing
assessment.
At the high school level,
goals include increasing the
number of students achieving
C ertificate of Initial Mastery
(CIM) certification in Math and
Reading by three percent per
year, decreasing the dropout
rate by one percent per year,
and to increase the number of
students receiving their full CIM
to 100 students per year. The
board complimented the high
school administrative team on
their efforts to reduce the drop
out rate.
