"This was my second discovery flight lesson, and it was absolutely thrilling. Thanks to what I’ve learned in my ground flight class, I could follow everything my instructor showed me. Experiencing the plane up close and seeing the world from above made me even more passionate about chasing my dream of becoming a pilot.
Thank you, Spray School!!"

🔴🐍 Gear Up for the Rattlers! 🐍🔴

From game days to everyday wear, you can show your Rattler pride while giving back to the kids who make our school community so special. Every shirt and hoodie sold helps fund student activities, programs, and opportunities.

Stop by Spray School to check out the latest Rattler gear or email sprayswag@spray.k12.or.us. for more details.

Spray‘s Aviation students were fortunate enough to visit the Madras airport recently on a field trip, where they were greeted by the airport manager, who graciously took the students into the Erickson collection hangar, which houses many of the most famous warbirds, including three Boeing B-17 flying Fortresses, a P-38L Lightning, a Douglas SB Dauntless, among many others.

They were then taken to the hangar that converts MD-87 McDonald Douglas airliners into Erickson Aero tankers that fight fires. During this time, each student was also able to fly in a Cessna 172 and get a lesson from a CFI under the EAA Young Eagles program.

Needless to say, it was a wonderful Aviation day!

Regular School Board Meetings have been changed to the second Wednesday of each month. They will continue to be held at 7 PM unless otherwise specified.

"Earlier yesterday, we distributed an announcement regarding re-opening the bidding process for a surplus school bus. The announcement indicated we had not received any bids during the initial bid period. Upon further review, it has been determined that a bid was received before the bid period had expired; therefore, the Board of Directors is obligated to review that bid prior to making a determination about the surplus bus. The Board is scheduled to open and review the bid on Thursday, May 16th at 6:00 p.m. Any bids received as a result of the announcement of re-opening the bidding process will be returned to the individual/entity submitting the bid. We apologize for any confusion caused by our failure to identify the initial bid as having been received within the announced bid period."

Wheeler County Community School is looking for an after-school program site coordinator. Please call Debbie @ 541-420-4479 for more information.
