FEATURED EVENT:
Witch Hazel's Math and Science Night
Hundreds of parents and students attended Witch Hazel's annual Math and Science Family Night on Thursday, April 21. After a yummy pizza dinner, families and students had the chance to meet the Artosaur-a purple and green dinosaur created by local artist Christine Martell and Glencoe High School Robotics students, make "buzzy bugs" (their own mini light-up, moveable insects), create "grass heads" (think Chia Pets), view student science projects, participate in math activities, and much more.

Oregon's Deputy Superintendent Salaam Noor will be hosting a series of community forums around the state to engage people in conversations around what that accountability system should look like.
