Hello Rangers!
We are ready to take an exciting turn in our bus barn project, and we need volunteers to help!
With a team of students and school construction professionals, Steve Murikami from OAC has redesigned the old bus barn and area between the high school and the old building. The plan is to have a volunteer team working over August weekends to transform the back area into an outdoor learning complex. Architects, Engineers, and construction trades folks will be bringing their expertise as well as sweat equity to join in the community building event.
See the attached flyer for more information and how to sign up. Or, just show up!
I am happy to answer questions you have about this - feel free to call, text, or email.
See you soon,
Frank

Jefferson County Public Health will offer COVID-19 vaccinations to children aged 6 months and older beginning the first week of July. Parents and guardians may make an appointment for their child by calling 360-385-9400.
Moderna vaccine will be available for children 6 months to 5 years old. Pfizer will be available to children 5-18 years old (first, second, or booster dose).
“We recommend children get vaccinated against COVID-19 because it reduces their risk of severe disease if they catch the virus,” said Dr. Allison Berry, Health Officer for Jefferson and Clallam counties. “Severe disease in children is not common, however it can happen, especially if a child is unvaccinated.”
Side effects of the vaccine are rare among young children, according to clinical trial research. Side effects, if they did occur, were commonly a sore arm or low-grade fever. Those effects tended to get better within two days, on their own. (Any fever of 104 degrees or higher should be treated according to a doctor’s recommendations).
