On Friday, Mr. Henderson started an email chain highlighting all the great things that happened last week at Dufur School. As staff added to the chain, so many great things were talked about, we wanted the community to see it, too! We are so proud of the students, staff, and community members who make Dufur School a great place to work and learn!
Thank you to OSP Officer Zuniga and his drug dog, Max, who visited the grade schoolers on Thursday afternoon. The students enjoyed learning about Max and his training.
