I see LIFEGATE in our Future!!

We're planning on having our 15 year old join LIFEGATE
JR./SR. HIGH SCHOOL
next school year. We've already taken a tour,
she's spent a day sampling classes, and my wife and i
went to a family/board meeting recently and ENJOYED
(AND I GENERALLY HATE BOARD MEETINGS)  it!
The staff, board and parents really love and want to
nurture every student. PLUS, it's encouraging to see
the Lifegate graduates/students are winning scholarships,
state and national academic contests and acing test scores!
I'm cheering for Lifegate Jr./Sr. High School and
my daughters not even enrolled yet!

Ice Shaped Oregon!!!

The kids and I went for a morning walk

ice...carefully picked it up AND...IT WAS
THE SHAPE OF OREGON!!!

TO PROVIDE THE VIEWER A CONVINCING ASSESSMENT!)
