Chalk Talk
Chalk Talk is a monthly column of information about
Vernonia schools. It is written by various staff
members.
By Nate Underwood
Principal, 4-8 Grades
On Tuesday, April 6, the Lincoln and Washington pri-
mary students enjoyed an entertaining performance by the USA
Yoyo Extravaganza. While dazzling the crowd with his amazing
ability, Charley Lowery presented a positive message to our
young people:
— Never Give Up
— Encourage Others
— Do Your Best
This simple, yet effective message, will work wonders if fol-
lowed and supported at home. Many students have caught the
yoyo bug themselves, as Charley left some for purchase. Yoyos
were on sale for a week following the assembly with 10 percent of
proceeds going back to the schools.
Congratulations to Mackenzie Carr. Mackenzie, an 8th grader
at Washington Grade School, received a special award for pass-
ing all areas of her 10th grade Math CIM. Great job!
Congratulations, too, to all of our Jr. High Honor Roll students
for the 3rd Quarter. Their names are in an accompanying article.
Mark your calendar. The end of the year is near and there are
