Mid Valley STEM-CTE hub representative, Chris Springer, presented Bee-Bots to the Central Linn Elementary kindergarten through third-grade teachers and students. Bee-Bots are programmable robots designed for young children that offer a tool for teaching sequencing, estimation, and problem-solving; and are FUN!

Mr. Springer offered resources on how to integrate the use of Bee-Bots across curricula. Each class that participated got a set of six Bee-Bots to keep!

Legionnaires Jeff Brown, Sharon Banks, Allen Buzzard, and "Lottie" met with Dr. Pelt's Writing 121 class to discuss various local scholarship opportunities. Scholarships discussed:

May thanks to all eighteen groups of presenters who volunteered their time to help us make a successful 1st annual Central Linn Career Day!

Kids learned about several trades, military, careers, law enforcement, and college options. Also, seniors participated in mock interviews. One student even shared that his career “trajectory totally changed” today.

Thanks so much to Ms. Sue Harte, our hard-working counselor, for organizing everything today!

Freshmen representatives sold raffle tickets for a fundraiser. Tickets purchased gave students an opportunity to throw pies at their favorite staff members. Afterward, pies were sold to students and staff at lunchtime.

Thank you to our brave staff members for their participation:

Miranda Leatherman, Robert Cleary, Kyle Kivett, and Mike Day,

The Central Linn girls' basketball team made an unprecedented run through the Valley Coast Conference (16-0), won the conference tournament championship game against the Bandon Tigers, and advanced to the 2023 OSAA State tournament. In the round of 16, the Cobras battled against a tall, physical Weston McEwen team. After dismantling the Tigerscots 50-28, the team was headed to Pendleton. The first-round matchup pitted the Cobras against the Vikings from Colton. With the win, the Cobras advanced to the semifinals and faced off with the Stanfield Tigers. In a hard-fought battle, the Cobras came up short in their quest for a state championship. They lost 28-38. However, the Cobras still had something to play for-the 3rd place trophy. In their final game, the Cobras squared off and beat league rival Monroe 48-31. With an overall record of 28-2, this year's Cobras leave a legacy of hard work, determination, and teamwork.

This year our team is a relatively young team. They strive to improve with each competition. We have seen all of them set and achieve personal goals. We, as their coaches, thoroughly enjoy this group of athletes. This is a very physically demanding sport. We rise and are ready to go at 6 am each morning for four mornings. Sometimes we do not make it to bed until well after 10 pm after caring for animals. Moving equipment that exceeds our own weight by hundreds of pounds and walking miles and miles each day are just some of the things we endure. Each of our athletes pull their fair share. It is cold and it is wet. Our parents are doing an amazing job keeping all of us fed and hydrated at our competitions.

We depend on our parents for a lot and they are instrumental to our success. We can't thank them enough. As of right now, our athletes are looking really good to qualify for state competitions in May. We could not be more proud of them. Watch for the list of athletes who will be competing at the state level. We have our last meet/competition of the season coming up from April 21 to 23 at the Linn Co Fair and Expo. It is free to come and watch the Central Linn team compete with their equine partners. Many fun events to watch. A couple of the big events to watch is drill on Saturday night around 6 pm. This is an event where audience participation through cheering is highly encouraged. Sunday is game day with events like barrel racing and pole bending. We encourage anyone interested in seeing these courageous kids and horses compete to come and watch them. At the April 22nd meet there is a special flag ceremony to honor this year's senior athletes. It is a lot of fun to watch, followed directly by the drill team performances. We want to thank the Central Linn School District for their continued support.
