Lake County School District 7

Class of 2027 parents: There will be a senior parent meeting tonight, Wednesday, June 10, at 6p.m. in the LHS cafeteria. Expect discussion about things your senior can do this summer to be successful next year. See you all there.

Our 5th–7th grade class at Union Elementary spent the day getting our greenhouse planted and ready for summer! Students worked hard to plant a variety of fruits, vegetables, and flowers with the goal of creating a thriving garden while school is out. We are excited to see how much it grows over the summer and hope to return in the fall to a lush garden that can help supply fresh produce for our school cafeteria. A big thank you to Black Cap 4H Club and Junior Leader, Ashlynn Shullanberger for their partnership and leadership in helping to keep our greenhouse going each summer. In addition a thank you to Teresa Lucas for the many plant starts and Mrs. Whitman who took a whole day with our 7th graders getting the greenhouse cleaned out and ready for planting! We can't wait to see the results of all our hard work!

Thank you to our Engineering Fair judges: the new County Surveyor, Zane Fernlund, and Kati and Kasey Clemens from Hall Motor. They had the extremely difficult challenge of choosing winners for our Union Elementary Engineering Fair. 🥇 First Place: Garrett Crawford for his creation of the Spinblade, a multi-tool designed to solve everyday problems. 🥈 Second Place: Darin Smith for his adjustable seat and lumbar support pillows, designed to address the problem of uncomfortable school chairs. 🥉 Third Place: Mikeal Slay for his refinement of hydroponic systems for use in vertical gardens. Congratulations to all of our student engineers for their creativity, innovation, and hard work!

Huge shout-out to the new 2026 Lakeview Town Pool crew! They took on a grueling two-day training and absolutely rocked it. We couldn’t be more proud of their hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment. Bring on an amazing season!
I’d also like to recognize the incredible community members and volunteers whose overwhelming support made a big difference throughout the training! They were constantly checking in on the crew, making sure we had everything we needed, and offering encouragement along the way. We are so grateful to be part of such an amazing community!

Graduation week is here! Please see the below calendar with the events of the week!

Students in our Forestry/Natural Resources class had the opportunity to not only hear from one of our very own, Parker Johnson, but also learn firsthand how to tie fishing flies! Parker taught students the process of tying one of the most popular flies used in fly fishing — the wooly bugger. Students gained hands-on experience while learning the patience, precision, and creativity that go into fly tying. Fun Facts About the Wooly Bugger: • One of the most popular and versatile fishing flies ever created • Can imitate leeches, baitfish, crayfish, and aquatic insects • Commonly used to catch trout, bass, and other fish species • Known for its movement in the water because of the marabou tail • A favorite fly pattern for both beginner and experienced anglers alike! Thank you, Parker, for sharing your knowledge and skills with our students!

Our Forestry & Natural Resources students had a field trip learning about wildfire risk, forest health, and sustainable land management. Students learned about the history of wildfire and fuels in our forests and how today’s forests are often more dense and contain heavier fuel loads, increasing wildfire risk. Most importantly, they discussed how we can be good stewards of the land and sustainably manage forests for future generations. Students also had the opportunity to visit a post prescribed burn to see the burn scars, where they saw firsthand how fire can be beneficial to ecosystems by promoting new grass growth and improving grazing opportunities. Another highlight of the day was learning the difference between wetlands and riparian areas. With Brandi Neider from Lake County Umbrella Watershed, students explored beaver dam analogues and learned how these structures improve riparian health, help retain water on the landscape, provide water sources for firefighting efforts, and can even help slow the spread of wildfire. What a great day of hands-on learning! Thank you to Ben van Heerden from Collins Pine, Jason Pettigrew from ODF, Brandi Neider with Lake County Umbrella Watershed, and John Shine for allowing us to explore and learn on your property. A special thank you to Chris Marks with ODF for organizing this amazing opportunity for our students!

Introducing EPIC (Every Person in our Community)
A new modified soccer league designed to help accommodate those who may not be able to participate in our regular core program in the fall. EPIC is for players with disabilities ages 3-99 years old.

Sign up at AYSO146.org

EPIC will be hosting a field day at AD Hay on June 5th from 4:30-6:30 where players and parents can ask questions and have a little fun.

If you have any questions before then, contact Mariah Adams at mariahadams@ayso1426.org

Join us on Monday, June 2nd, from 2:00–3:00 PM at the Union Gym for an exciting showcase of student creativity and problem-solving! This isn't your traditional science fair. Students have followed the Engineering Design Process to identify everyday problems, develop innovative solutions, build prototypes, and test their ideas. From improving daily tasks to helping people and the environment, our young engineers have put their imagination and critical-thinking skills to work. The community is invited to come explore these creative innovations, meet the student designers, and celebrate their hard work and ingenuity. We hope to see you there!

AD Hay 5th graders had an exciting 3-day adventure on the Oregon Coast during their recent outdoor school field trip! Students explored marine science by dissecting squid, enjoyed time at the beach searching for tide pools and ocean creatures, and wrapped up the trip with fun and adventure at a local adventure park.

This hands-on learning experience gave students the opportunity to connect science, nature, and teamwork while creating lasting memories together. Thank you to everyone who helped make this trip possible!
