Hello parents, teachers and students! Happy Friday!
History was made this week as Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States on Wednesday and Kamala Harris was sworn in as the first female vice president, making her the highest-ranking female elected official in U.S. history. She is now the first African American and first Asian American vice president ever, so no matter your party affiliation, it was a big deal for both parents and children alike.

Collecting and preserving history
Hannah Haney comes to Crook County from Texas as the new collections specialist
The Bowman Museum recently hired a collections specialist, and Hannah Haney is proud to call Prineville home. I am very happy to be here, and I love getting to know the community, said Haney in a recent interview. Everyone has been very welcoming and very nice to me, which, as a transplant I moved on my own and that has made the move so much easier. I am here to serve the community, that is my primary goal. I serve you all by making sure these things are around in 50, 100 and 200 years. I am very excited to be here.
