Winlock Elementary School is starting a new program called FLASH. The recent scores for math show our school is below the state standard. Winlock Miller Elementary is determined to get the scores up and they need the community's help to do so.

"The school is starting the FLASH Card Math volunteer program with an orientation for volunteers on Monday, October 7 at 2:00 p.m.," said Meg Matheson. "This is the day that volunteers will learn about expectations of the program, tips for working with students, and have an opportunity to meet the students and teachers with whom they will be working. The program will start with our fourth grade classrooms. Each volunteer will have 5 students that they will work with once a week. Multiplication flash cards will be the basis of the learning, with students memorizing facts that will help them with mathematical problem solving. Having the facts memorized will give students the skills to apply this knowledge, when needed, in algebra, geometry and calculus."

The Forks Creek Hatchery is presently under a large construction project, and local fishers and retailers are concerned about whether or not it will be collecting fish this year. Losing a spawning season would result in lower future salmon returns which, in turn, would affect the local commercial fishing industry, sports fishing, and the local retail economy. The effects on the local retailers would be losses in the sales of fuel, gear, groceries, restaurants, and such.
