The new gym bleachers
will be installed this week. I think you
will like them. The old bleachers will
remain in the gym through the completion
of the drama performance April 23- 25.
We are all looking forward to another
wonderful play. Please come and join us!
Our enrollment here at
Adrian School is up slightly over last
year. Overall, that is indicative of our
school climate. Students here generally
like the school and many do a great job
in the classroom, as well as in our
extra – curricular activities.
The girl’s varsity
basketball team not only won the High
Desert District Championship, but also
finished 10th of 80 in overall
grade point average among Oregon IA
girls teams. Their g.p.a., a wonderful
3.75 combined.
I can’t resist including
a part of a letter that I received from
the Baker City Kiwanis Club:
"Yesterday, the Adrian
girl’s basketball team came through the
front doors with an adult supervisor
looking for the coach who had their
passes and who was already in the
building. While the adult supervisor
went looking for the coach, we took the
opportunity to ask the girls on the team
if they could recite the preamble to the
constitution, they did so in unison and
without hesitation. Wow, not one girl
but the whole group. Admittedly, we were
somewhat surprised given our history
with this little exercise (which has
always been in fun) but immediately
applauded their effort. Quite frankly,
it made my day and I have been calling
and telling my friends about it ever
since. Aside from the fact that the team
is playing in the state tournament which
is an accomplishment in itself, I think
the Adrian community, the parents of
these girls, the school district, and
their fellow high school students can
take great pride in these young ladies,
for the fact that they have memorized
and can recite something which is an
important part of our American history.
I am certainly proud of them and I know
my fellow Kiwanians who were there with
me felt the same way.
Please extend our best
wishes to the girl’s team…we hope their
futures will be filled with the very
best life has to offer them."
I certainly am proud of
these girls – as well as all of our
Adrian kids. They all leave a lasting
‘great’ impression.
Thanks,
Gene Mills
