Ballot Measure 22-165, the proposed bond to address critical school repairs, overcrowding and growth and add vocational programs, will be on the May 16 ballot.

Vocational technical training, also known as Career Technical programs and applied learning, helps students learn about possible career paths and prepare for the workforce. These programs also increase the chance that a student will graduate.
The Oregon Department of Education has data that shows students are more likely to graduate if they participate in a vocational technical, or CTE, program:
According to the Oregon Department of Education, “The 2013-2014 four-year cohort graduation rate for CTE concentrators in Oregon was 85.7%; for all students (including CTE concentrators) it was 76.4%. An Oregon CTE concentrator is a student who has earned one or more credits in a technical skill course(s) within an Oregon state-approved CTE Program of Study.”
Projects in Ballot Measure 22-165 would include remodeling existing classrooms and building new instructional space to allow hands-on activities in high-demand career fields.
A recent work group identified current and planned vocational technical education programs that would be added to all middle and high schools if the bond passes in May.
On Friday, February 17, Waverly will be having a Jog-a-Thon. Students will be running and counting laps in the gym.
Students will go home with a pledge form and envelope that will have the number of laps that they ran. Students are encouraged to talk to their friends and family to collect donations.
Donations are due back (in the envelope) to their teacher on March 1.
The class that brings in the most money gets an ice cream party.
Below is the class schedule for the Jog-a-Thon:
8:10-8:40 Louk
8:40-9:10 Logerwell
