Sisters salutes...

• Sisters Elementary School student Cort Vantress was honored with a safety award last week. While at Madras speedway, Cort saw that a race car was about to back up into a little girl. He ran forward and pushed the girl out of the way. Cort's parents only found out from the girl's parents; Cort never mentioned it.

"He did the right thing and didn't brag about it," said School Resource Officer Dep. Don Pray.

• The Sisters All-Night Grad Party Committee is extremely grateful to the many people and businesses who contributed to a fantastic send-off for the Sisters High Class of 2014. So many of you stepped up, there are too many to list in Sisters Salutes! We and the senior class want you to know how much we appreciate your generosity, and thank you for making it possible for all students who wanted to attend to do so. Your donations of scholarship funds and items were extremely meaningful for the graduating seniors.
