Thank you for your generous support!

We reached our goal and will be able to bring the "This IS Kalapuyan Land" exhibit to the FLEX Online School learning community and will fund learning materials with a Q&A session with the curator of the Five Oaks Museum. Your support made these events possible - thank you!

High School Lit & Comp (Below):

The students chose one character that they connect with from the reading. Using a variety of symbols, colors, direct text, important takeaways, and their overall connections, the student will showcase what they have learned on one page, in turn they can share their knowledge with others.
