I was never so proud to be a part of this school as I was at this time. The students worked to collect funds for the Brown family am happy with the replacement schedule for carpeting the 1 rooms and encourage that to continue. We are also working towards involving the parents more in the school. We appreciate the support of the school board," said Davis. The next item on the agenda was the request of David Bird, chorus teacher at CVJH to take the honor choir to Salt Lake City for a performance at Kearns High School on Jan. 2003. The board agreed to the proposed trip. TTie next item on the agenda was Reed Fehlberg, band instructor with a request from his department. He emphasized the importance of music education and how those students who play musical instruments score higher on tests. He pointed out that San Rafael Junior High helps fund the sixth grade band program at Ferron and CVJH helps fund the program for Cleveland and Huntington elementaries. The high school helps with the program for Castle Dale and Orangeville. He also mentioned the need for more practice instruments. Fehlberg explained how they have kept old instruments past their prime in working order to enable students to have practice instruments. He also requested a digital recording device to help the students with their recordings for both band and chorus. San Rafael has a similar need for instruments and they have turned in a proposal. There are 71 students enrolled in the band program at Canyon View. Huntington said in previous years they have funded the band programs in spurts. He thought it w'ould be an advantage to allocate a certain amount each year so the band instructors would know what to count on. The next item on the agenda was the discussion of the proposal for a second science lab at San Rafael Junior High. There is only one lab and two science teachers. The proposal 17-1- is to turn one of the vacant 8, also questioned sending inexperienced bus drivers over the hill He said it was his understanding that subs would be used on the home routes and the experienced drivers sent on the longer teachschool by two part-tim- e ers could be eliminated with the sharing of a classroom inside the building to eliminate the costs of the trailer which would free up funds for the lab. Yvonne Jensen who is the 9th per- formed experiments outside when the weather permitted at the beginning of the year. A certain amount of labs are recommended by the state science core. It was determined that a significant number of students are missing out on lab work and the school board will visit the school to look at the situation. The discussion of the meeting schedule for 2003 was next on the agenda. It was determined that they would rotate the schools they visit so they are not holding a meeting at the same school at the same time each year. The new rotation will begin with Canyon View Junior High on Jan. 8, 2003 at 7 p.m. Huntington reported that negotiations with the certified personnel went well. It was moved and approved that the negotiations be accepted. The next item for discussion was the field trips and excursions policy. Ware reported an incident which had taken place when he was following one of our buses and a student threw out a cup of ice and water from a bus window. It didnt break his windshield but it frightened his wife. Ware felt that the district would be involved in a lawsuit and in court at this time if this incident had involved another vehicle besides his. He felt that the chaperone policy needs to be looked at. The boy involved has written a letter of apology to the Wares. Ware was concerned that if the correct number of chaperones were not on the bus, then it should not leave. One suggestion of having backup chaperones available for trips if the chaperones do not show up on trip day was made. Or possibly arrang didnt really think about the side effects. There wont be anything that I cant overcome. I had already passed and completed the physical training at the police academy. We ran for a mile and a half and did pushups and situps and a lot of stretching. We tested three times for fitness throughout the training. The school said I had done enough by midterm so the operation didnt effect that. I really enjoyed the training at the police academy. We had to be up and ready by 7 a.m. It was just like the military We had to be clean shaven and have a trips. Superintendent Sitterud said at the present time they do not have a large pool of driv ers. Ware said if they dont have adequate drivers then the bus should be kept home. Superintendent Sitterud said the district has a good safety record and they will work to eliminate the problem. It was determined that no field trip should proceed without required chaperones. Ware made a motion that supervisors ap- short haircut every morning. We prove all field trips and excur- ev en marched. When we entered sions.

We have two lobes in our livers and it was d of my liver that about to they gave Sammy. Sometimes they have to leave the recipient open for a few days for the liver to grow to fit the space or to shrink to fit the space . . sometimes this could take up to a month, but in Sammys case my liver fit in her perfectly and they were able to sew her up right after the operation. I had 41 staples closing the incision in my stomach. I was in surgery for six and a half hours and went into surgery an hour before Sammy. They were worried about scar tissue being present from Sammys previous surgeries and her surgery started an hour later. The doctors were just amazed with how smoothly things went," said Shaun. Kris said, It was interesting during the surgeries to hear the one-thir- . updates. They would let us know how both Shaun and Sammy were doing throughout the operations. They said that they have a lot of success with living donors and the liver can go straight into the recipient. They hope to do a lot more with living donors in the future. Sammys family is so relieved. Tiffany is looking forward to having a normal little girl. Sammy has required 24 hour care and she has had to take tons of medicine. Its lucky that Sammy has been sick her whole life because she doesnt know any different kind of life. Everything is going smoothly now. Everything was a mateh....it was just meant to be. Family and friends have been really great to help out while Sammy has been in the hospital and Tiffany has been living at the hospital, said Kris.
