Classroom News The first week went really well and it was extremely busy. The kids are

very excited about school. We

received some new Social Studies

materials this year. The students

really enjoy the new United States

map and the new World map that are

hanging in the school. Arlene Sibly

has done three art classes with the

students. She and the students have

decorated a fence post that will be

put up by the Pinedale Library. It

looks really neat! Kindergartners

have been learning about the five

senses and seasons. They have also

been learning more about the

alphabet and shapes. First grade

students are learning about bugs,

harder addition, and sentence

structure. Fourth grade students are

learning more about Geometry and

Archeology. I am really looking

forward to this school year. I am

working with a great group of kids.

Local News In August we finally got the rain we desperately needed. It came almost all it once and saturated our canyon hillsides that led way to five mudslides. It took them about 5 hours to open the highway back up and nearly a week to clear away the debris. Luckily no one was hurt. Maureen “Mo” O’Leary and a local veterinarian recently tried to rescue a juvenile owl on her property in Bondurant. Unfortunately the owl did not make it but will be used as a “study skin”-a museum quality education tool for the scientific community. Layne and Norris Brown drove in the Caliente 250 off-road race in May. Layne finished fourth and also participated in America’s longest rally race from Las Vegas to Reno. We look forward to the snow cross they will host this winter in Bondurant. Joy Ufford of Bondurant is writing for the Sublette Examiner. Watch for her great articles. She is always a great voice for our local community and issues.

Thanks Thank you to all of those who helped with the BBQ, Heritage Days and all of the community functions. As a few of you especially know they take a lot of work, time and effort. We could not have these functions if it were not for a select few people who routinely get in there and do the dirty work. We urge everyone to join in and help with anything you can. This will help ensure that Bondurant will continue to thrive as a community.

Remember- Many hands make little work!
