Classroom raising party set for April 22

Sisters residents will gather with dignitaries from across the state on Wednesday, April 22, to celebrate the Sisters community's efforts in adding four new classrooms onto Sisters Elementary School.

Festivities kick off at 3 p.m. at Sisters Elementary School, and will include music, food, tours of the classrooms and the unveiling of the engraved dedicating bricks.

The formal dedication ceremony is set for 3:15 p.m., featuring poems and commentary by students and community members and staff and an appearance by Governor John Kitzhaber.

The event is an effort to thank and celebrate the many contributors who, through donations of cash, time and talent, made the $500,000 addition a reality.

For more information on the event, contact Principal Tim Comfort or Kathy Perry at Sisters Elementary School, 549-8981.
