Snow is on the way! Firemen’s Benefit=fun for all
Statement from the National Weather Service A significant change in the weather pattern is expected the latter part of the Thanksgiving weekend as a very cold weather system moves into the Pacific Northwest. This system will bring snow to the Cascade passes and possibly the coast range with plenty of rain expected for the lowlands. An air mass with origins in the Arctic is expected to follow this system and move into the region Sunday night and Monday lowering snow levels to a few hundred feet or even near the valley floor at this point in time.

SCSD Superintendent announces strategic planning forums Dear Santiam Canyon Community Members, I am pleased to announce that, in the next few months, the Santiam Canyon School District will be putting together a strategic plan to help us guide our direction and priorities these upcoming years. We invite the entire community to be part of this process. Please mark your calendar for: DATE TIME MEETING 12-2-2013 6:30 Strategic Planning Community Forum (in conjunction with Santiam Canyon PTO Meeting) 12-11-2013 6:30 December Board Meeting 1-8-2013 6:30 January Board Meeting 1-10-2013 TBD Strategic Planning Community Forum 6:30 February Board Meeting 2-12-2013 This process will be comprehensive and cover all areas of our school district. For planning purposes, the strategic plan will be organized into ‘buckets’. At this point I have outlined general buckets, but even they can be shaped and edited throughout this process. To help get our discussion started, we will be planning in the categories of: 1. Student Success 2. Staff Development & Recruitment 3. Program Options & Supports 4. Infrastructure (including facilities and technology) 5. Governance & Communication We welcome and encourage staff, parents, students and community members to attend these sessions and become a part of the process. The final document will become our guide for budgeting, planning, professional development and decision-making. We have a lot of work to do to put this plan together in the next few months, but it will be worth it. Your input is needed and valued! Todd A. Miller Superintendent/Elementary Principal Santiam Canyon School District
From the Editor: Our apologies for the late edition of The Canyon Weekly
this week. As we strive to continue to bring local news and events to our readers during this holiday season, challenges are occurring in day to day life. Our family is going through some significant changes. Karen’s mother health has taken a turn, requiring that she has care around the clock care. For now we will be caring for her in her home near the Oregon Coast to allow her to enjoy the beautiful home she created there. We will continue to cover the news and events of the canyon, however, and are deep in gratitude for all our readers, advertisers and contributors. May this Holiday Season bring love to you and your family.! Karen Widmer, Editor

Brothers Alex Mitchell (age 10 at left) and Brady Mitchell (age 12 at right) of Gates filled their wild turkey tags in southern Oregon, thanks to the tutelage of dad, Brad, seen here in the center. They plan to roast one up for Thanksgiving, and perhaps another one or two for Christmas day.
These volunteers helped keep the bingo games rolling along throughout the night at the MCRFPD Firemen’s Benefit last Saturday..
