The 1st Grade class would like to give a special THANKS to Ted and Ashley Brewster for making last Friday the "best day ever"! The Brewster family purchased the winning bid at the JWD Auction for our class to have pizza, cupcakes, and an extra recess. We appreciate their kindness and support!

Junior Ale Meza just broke the 26 year old Dufur 5000 meter xc record! The old time was 21:18 and she ran 21:05 on Saturey at Lents Park in Portland beating the old record by 13 seconds! Congrats Ale! Your Rangers are proud of you!

Today we celebrated our great attendance for September with popcorn for all! A big thanks goes to Lindsey Harvey, Nancy Wilson and the Dufur High School ASB for working to make this happen.

Keep up the great attendance Rangers.

Dear Families,

PortraitMasters will be here on October 23rd. Students may have their picture taken if they missed the first picture day, or have retakes done. We will start at 9:00 am, and we should be done by about 11 am.

If you are having a retake done, please have your student bring back their original package with a note of what you want to see different in the retake so our photographers can fix the issues from the first photo. This will also ensure that you will get your package reprinted.

Mrs. Gibson's Kindergarten class was lucky enough to have Jess Justensen visit our class today and teach us how to make flower bouquets. We loved getting to pick flowers, trim the stems and arrange our flowers! We had so much fun, thank you Mrs. Justensen!
