January is School Board Recognition Month The District is grateful for the dedication and leadership of the Oregon Board of Education. In the month of January, three board members were sworn in for their new four year term. Carol Molnar, current Board President, will be starting her 17 year on the Board. Tracy Venia, a long time teacher in the District, and Jim Wolfe, 2005 Clay graduate, will start their first year on the Board. Current Board members Jeff Ziviski (18 years and current Vice President) and Jerry Eversman (2 years) remain on the Board. We also want to thank outgoing Board members Michael Csehi (14 years) and Dan Saevig (6 years) for their service to the District.

Oregon Schools Foundation continues to support our students through Arts, Academics and Athletics. Check out this awesome grant highlight!🌟 Thank you OSF! 💚🦅 #OCSsuccess #ocf4kidsExcited to share our first FOUNDATION FRIDAY Grant highlight this school year. 🇺🇸 Check out Clay Model UN's "Inflation Mitigation" 🇺🇸 🇫🇷 CHALLENGE: The snack machine in the staff lunchroom at Clay HS has been managed by the students of Clay's Model United Nations club for the last 10 years to fund their competitions. 🍿 🍫 The price of snacks/candy has increased over that timeframe. The existing machine could only process a $1 bill. Nothing higher or lower, and no coins. Reducing the snack/candy selection and participation. A new snack vending machine would be able to be programmed to accommodate inflationary snack pricing. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 REQUEST: A new snack machine that accommodates higher dollar amounts and is programmable. Managed by Clay Model UN as a fundraiser to offset registration fees and travel expenses. 🇨🇭 OUTCOME: The snack machine is a unique fundraiser that actually helps teach students about business. The students have to calculate the profit margins and decide what items to use to the most bang for their buck. Students must keep inventory, order supplies, restock and compute profit. The snack machine is a great tool to teach multiple other skills besides counting money. It's a WIN, WIN! 💥"Thank you to Oregon Schools Foundation for this Grant! This machine has made enough so far this year to pay the registration fees for a competition in January that 14 students are registered for," stated Ms. Weiker. 💥 🫶 Thank you to OSF DONORS! Without you, these Grants would not be possible. Every little bit helps. Please reach out if you'd like to provide classroom Grant support. www.oregonschoolsfoundation.org #FoundationFriday #osf4kids
