Mrs. Welk and Mrs. Huffman's class spent their last Friday of the school year splashing around at the Boardman Aquatic Center.
The Ranger TECH Construction class hammered out a trailer re-decking project for a local contractor this week. The existing wood deck was nasty. These young men demonstrated exemplary work ethic, problem solving skills and attention to detail while on this project. As their construction teacher, I could not be more proud. - Leona Egeland

Mrs. Gratiot's 4th grade class is ending the year focusing on integrating information from two texts on the same topic. They read two articles about space and then completed a graphic organizer about the similarities and differences between the texts. Next, we wrote about the similarities using a cooperative strip paragraph in a pocket chart as a class. Finally, students are collaborating to write a paragraph in their own small pocket charts about the differences between the two articles. What a great amount of collaboration at the end of the school year!
The seniors arrived for their last day of school in style with a parade through town in anything but a car. Congratulations to the Class of 2024!

The saying goes that "Rome wasn't built in a day", but the 3rd Graders decided to give it a try anyway! To wrap up a unit about ancient Roman civilization, students recreated famous architecture! They explained why the structure was important to ancient Romans, listed specific elements of the architecture that kept it from becoming ruins, and then sketched a plan. Their models are made from packing peanuts and represent the Colosseum, Pantheon, and an aqueduct!

DHS global studies and US history classes are learning about the Flight of 1877 when the Nez Perce were driven from their homeland of the Wallowa Mountains in Oregon. Led by Chief Joseph, 800 Nez Perce sought to find a new home. Students were visited by Celeste Whitewolf who shares a common ancestor with Chief Joseph. Ms. Whitewolf shared the story of her people and their legacy. Her presentation was not only informative, but very entertaining and we thank her for visiting Dufur High School!
