Good evening,
Due to Dufur School's switch to distance learning this week, there will be a change to our calendar. This Thursday will be the end of the semester and Friday will become a teacher grading day (no school for students). This enables everyone to come back in person next Monday for a full week of on campus learning.
Dufur School will host a watch party of the 4-H Virtual Career Fair that is taking place on Thursday, February 10th from 4:00-5:30 p.m. The watch party will take place in the cafeteria. If you prefer to attend at home, there is a registration link included in the attached flier.

PSA: The Mid Columbia Umpires Association (MCUA) is preparing for the upcoming 2022 spring baseball and softball season. Not only does the MCUA need umpires for baseball and softball, it is really the high school teams that need you.
Plain and simple, without umpire’s games do not get played. Could you use some extra income? Do you like to be part of something special and make a difference? Because if so, we could use your help.
Join a group of dedicated individuals and provide a viable service to high school athletics. Plus you get the best seat in the house. The season is starting March 14th. Meetings will be starting in mid February.
Training is provided for new members. Assistance to purchase gear is available. You can reach out today for information by emailing myself at rjamack.mcua.mcfoa@gmail.com. You can send a message via Facebook as well. You can also show your interest by going to http://www.newofficials.org/.
