Voting Students!

Thanks to Government teacher Caryn Connolly, the students at Roberts were able to participate in Oregon's Mock Election last week! Not only were students challenged to create information presentation boards based on candidates and ballot measures, but students also helped plan our successful Election Fair held on October 24th.

Students were able to cast their votes on Thursday, November 1st--just five days before the actual election day November 6th--and the Statesman Journal was there to catch the action!

Please check out the article, and especially the slide show of pictures! Way to go Spartans!!! Your continuation of receiving positive press and accolades from the public are inspirational! Keep up the good work!

Mrs. Mac (by: R. Johnson-Bennett)

 We have a new wonderful addition to our staff this year. Her name is Lisa McIntyre and she is the new vice principal. She came from West Salem High School and is really exited and enthusiastic about being here this year. To get to know her better, we asked her a couple questions. Mrs. McIntyre has always wanted to be a teacher. Her first job was making sandwiches at the OSU campus Subway were she learned that being on time hard work and that the customer is always right. She had thoughts about being a pediatrician and even a wedding planner but then found that she liked working in the teaching field. Her favorite color is purple and she loves salmon fishing on her boat in her spare time. 

 

So when u see Mrs. Mac don’t hesitate to say hello!

Patrick Gilliland (by A. Hudson)

-What did you want to be when you grew up?

            “I wanted to be a tight end for the Oakland Raiders; at one time I also wanted to be a Police Officer, Or a part of the military."

-What was your first job, and how did you get it?

            “Let’s see… my first real job with applications and everything was a bus boy at Carrows Restaurant. My mom ate there a bunch and she knew the manager pretty well. So she let me know when they had a job opening. Though I guess my very first real job was berry picking back in elementary school."

-What was your first boss like? What did you learn from him or her?

            “I never had any issues with my boss. He was fine with me working there as long as I did my job right, which I did. I don’t really remember much about it. I suppose it taught me that when other people are doing their job, it’s best to just get out of their way and let them do it.”

-What do you want others to know about you?

            "I do my best not to judge people. There are very few people that truly bug me. Also I got expelled in high school. Not for anything like drugs, I just didn’t really show up for any of the classes, the ones that I did I came in late. The only one I really showed up for was P.E."

-What was the first movie you ever saw in the movie theater?

            "I don’t remember the first movie I saw in a theater, but I do remember going to the drive in and watching Night of the Living Dead."
