Last week, our kindergarten students participated in a hands-on experiment exploring how different liquids may affect their teeth. Using eggs to represent tooth enamel, students submerged them in coffee, soda, vinegar, and water, made predictions, and eagerly waited to see the results.

OSBA School Board Superheroes Recognition Month January Board Spotlight Steve Warr Board Member I have had the privilege of serving on our school board for 2 1/2 years. I am the "newbie" in our group. In that role, I greatly appreciate all the help and mentorship I have received from the entire board. Our community has served my family in many memorable ways, and my children proudly graduated from Umatilla. Prior to running for the chance to serve on our school board, I had become frustrated with the many tools of division that seemed to be promoted within society. As I looked for ways to possibly dispute that narrative, it made sense in my small mind to invest some of my time into the next generation. Over several months, after being elected, I became increasingly aware that the Umatilla School District was unique, and I mean that that in a very good way. Currently, my biggest concern is that I will be able to give back, as much as I have received from my association with this board, our superintendent, the entire staff, and students. As we continue to write our story, I appreciate your patience and understanding of a man that checks his fridge several times each day hoping that something new will magically appear.

OSBA School Board Superheroes Recognition Month January Board Spotlight Jon Lorence  I have served over 11 years. When my son started school I decided to become active in education and community service. I really enjoy the opportunities that our district provides to our students. Not many district and certainly very few districts our size offer the level of stem/trades and college credits. If a student is focused he or she can really be ahead of the game upon graduation. A fun fact about me is while I am not a graduate of Umatilla, my father was and my great Uncle was a Umatilla Board member back in the early 60s. I am also known to get a little misty eyed at sporting events. Umatilla School District logo

OSBA School Board Superheroes Recognition Month January Board Spotlight Jorge Meza Board Member I have served on the school board for 7 years, almost 8. What inspired me to serve on the board was my daughters. I wanted to be more involved and informed in their education. What I enjoy most about being on the board is being able serve my latino community and make positive decisions alongside my fellow district members for a better future for our students. A fun fact about me is that I'm shy, but if you hand me a microphone, I don't stop talking-I become a completely different person. Umatilla School District logo
