MESD Board Scholarship Announcement12/16/2016 ![]() The MESD Board met Tuesday, December 13 for its final meeting of 2016. The highlight of the meeting was the Board's announcement that it will award $5,000 in college scholarships in 2017 to outstanding students pursuing post-secondary education opportunities. Funding for the scholarships resulted from the Board's participation in the Oregon School Boards Association's Promise Scholarship Program. Boards that were Promise Scholarship selected to participate in the program and completed all the requirements earned scholarship money for their districts. The program required board members to devote an additional 10 hours of service to complete a board project, conduct board self-evaluations, and participate in the Promise of Oregon campaign. The board will receive the $5,000 check from OSBA for these scholarships and the completion of the program at the January board meeting. Details about the scholarships, including directions for applying, are available on the board webpage. Interested parties may also contact Board Secretary Heather Severns at [email protected] ![]() by Ovid Boyd, MESD Technology Services Oregon is a beautiful place to bike during the summer, but biking in the winter months is not as harrowing as many folks might imagine. For me, biking is my main way of staying healthy, so I’ve been a year round bike rider since I was a kid (even when I lived in the snows of Sweden and extreme cold of Northern China). If you can safely drive in it, you can safely ride in it. The key is to dress right. Most of us already have rainproof jackets, but you need rainproof pants and shoes too. Don’t go biking in the rain with just a jacket! I also have waterproof gloves, a hat, and socks, but you can get by without such extravagances. Lights and a handkerchief to dry your seat aren’t a bad idea either. You also want to be prepared for weather changes. I keep a set of rain gear at home, and leave another set at work. Most winter days I use my nicer set both morning and afternoon, but in case the morning starts sunny, but by the afternoon it turns rainy, I still can get home comfortably. For those wondering where to get rainy biking stuff, I purchased my gear from ShowersPass, a local Portland company, and am quite happy with it:https://www.showerspass.com/
