Dufur Community,
This is the third year I have been providing books for students! Over 200+ have gone to new homes!
However, I need your help again to sponsor a Kindergartener. Here’s the idea:
▪️Scholastic has books every month that are $2. I would like for each of my students to be able to bring home one new book each month during the school year (September to June).
>>Would anyone be interested in “sponsoring” a child in my class? <<
▪️You could mail a check to the SCHOOL for $18 made out to Scholastic Book Club, and that child would get a new book to take home each month!

▪️If you’re interested in helping out with this project let me know! These books are a fantastic gift for them and they get to grow their own libraries at home!
You are all amazing!! ♥️📚👍🏻
Thank you so much!

We are so excited to be teaching kindergarten this upcoming school year! We can't wait to set our Kinders up for success. There are many EXTRA things that would be helpful to reach all our learner's needs. We have created an Amazon Wishlist if you would like to help contribute to our classroom. Thank you! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/AV0FJEBIHVJA?ref_=wl_share

Attention middle school parents,
Google is sponsoring a 2-day introductory robotics workshop for kids on the weekend of September 16-17, 2023 at The Dalles, OR. This workshop is for any middle school student in grades 6-8 who is interested in robotics and learning more about science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Openings fill up quickly so register soon to reserve your spot!
This is best suited to any student in grades 6-8 who is a beginner or has limited experience with robotics.
The focus of these workshops is to give kids a chance to experience STEM and work with a group to build a robot over the course of the 2-day weekend in a fun and inclusive environment. Robotics instructors will support students through the robot building process, with everyone having a chance to have a friendly competition with their robots on day 2. Google will provide breakfast, lunch, snacks, all robotics supplies, and a full two days of inspiration and STEM curriculum.
Check out this video of a similar workshop from 2022 that was focused on girls in STEM.
