At the Community Club meeting it was learned the heat and air conditioning units should be in before Pumpkin Roll. It was announced that September 19, at 10 a.m. River Journey will hold a River Cleanup Day. David Voortman is trying to put together a movie night on October 2nd showing the movie “River Raft Nightmare” that was filmed in the Ferry with Michelle Patton, her daughter Kaeli Sturtevant and Kody Simons as stunt doubles. River Journey provided safety and the logistical aspects of the production. After a tasty dinner, the speaker was Dr. Skulina, Superintendent/Principal of Knights Ferry School. She started off by taking off her T-shirt. It was from her high school. Then she took off another T-shirt, a rafting one, then that left her with an Ice Cream Tee, all which had stories behind them. Dr. “J” got her BA in English Literature, Masters in Counseling Psychology and Doctorate in Education Administration. Dr. J and the staff are excited to start Place Based Education, using the community to learn. KFS students are unstoppable!
