SUMMARY:Finding the Magic in Middle School Talk and Book Signing by Chris Balme
DESCRIPTION:This evening community gathering is intended to support the wellbeing and growth of parents\, educators\, and mental health professionals. While this talk is geared toward the development of adolescence\, anyone who helps to raise our children -of any age- will benefit from the brain-body science that is presented. \nIn this talk\, author and acclaimed educator Chris Balme shows how to tap into the positive potential of middle school. It begins with understanding what’s going on inside the middle school brain. Balme introduces three key developmental needs for middle schoolers\, offering practical tips to support them at each step of the way. Drawing on his experience as a middle school founder and principal\, as well as the latest neuroscience\, he offers a fresh and uplifting take on the transformative years of middle school. \nThis talk is based on Balme’s book\, Finding the Magic in Middle School\, which was published in 2022 and quickly became an Amazon bestseller for adolescent psychology. Renowned adolescent psychologist and author Madeline Levine called it “a must-read for anyone who has a tween or works with tweens.” \nThis event is organized by the Interconnected Diversity team and is being supported financially by many individuals and organizations\, including each ticket purchased and donation at checkout. \nGenerous sponsorships have been provided by Cascades Academy and Seven Peaks Schools. Our list of in-kind donors and financial supporters continue to grow and include: Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon\, Insight Counseling\, Natalie Houston\, Amy Bahrman\, The Base at Franklin\, High Desert Makers\, Brightways Counseling Group\, Roundabout Bookstore\, Spencer Mitchell Photography\, \, Kap Seidel and Upstream Parenting\, Tim Burnett\, Carrie Hicks\, Samara Learning Center\, Andy Slavin and Amity Creek Elementary. A Heartfelt THANK YOU to all those contributing\, for making this event possible. \n  \nRegister here!

SUMMARY:2023 Lava Island Fish Rescue
DESCRIPTION:Sign Up for Your Time Slot HERE! \nEvery fall flows drop in the Upper Deschutes as water begins to be stored in Wickiup and Crane Prairie Reservoirs for irrigation use next summer. When this happens\, fish residing in the Lava Island side channel of the Deschutes become stranded from the main stem of the river. \nDRC is once again aiding irrigation district efforts to rescue fish by coordinating volunteers. Volunteers will collect fish from the Lava Island side channel and transport them in buckets to the mainstem of the Deschutes River. \nThe projected rescue dates this year will be October 14th-16th. There will be two time slots per day. The morning slots will be from 8 or 9 AM to 12 pm and the afternoon slot will be from 1 PM to 5 PM. \n***Please note\, dates are tentative and may change due to weather and dam operations. DRC will be in touch with all volunteers via text to provide updates*** \nThere will be three jobs throughout the day: \nNetting fish (must be experienced and bring waders and boots)\nCarrying bucketed fish to be counted (majority of the volunteers need)\nCounting/identifying fish (must be experienced identifying and handling fish)\nThe majority of volunteers will be helping run buckets from the capture site to the counting site. The buckets will weigh 35-40 pounds each. \nPlease bring a water bottle\, snacks\, hiking shoes\, hats\, sunscreen. We will provide coffee\, snacks\, pizza\, and water.
