All of the Forest Grove Elementary School students were invited to draw and/or write their own message to stop bullying on Pink Shirt Day on Feb. 26.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Doris E. Rufli and I am taking over from Shelly Carrera as correspondent for Forest Grove and surrounding areas.

I moved to the area about two years ago and into the village itself last June, and I simply love it here. I look forward to representing the Forest Grove area and to working with all members of the community.

Feb. 26 was Pink Shirt and Anti-Bullying Day. At the Forest Grove Elementary School, all the students gathered in the gym for a short video and extensive discussion to help them understand what bullying entailed and how to countermand it.

It’s a very important lesson we all need to take to heart and fight whenever we come across it. All it takes is to say, “Stop,” stand tall and mean it.

 

Legion news

4 Guys Doing a Jamming were a hoot at the well-attended Valentine’s Dance. The food was wonderful, the atmosphere even better and then the band called for the Chicken-dance.

Wednesday lunch time is when the 50+ Group meets at the Legion. A delicious soup and sandwich are usually offered, together with coffee and tea. A lot of laughter and catching up with old and new friends makes for a wonderful time.

On March 8, the Spaghetti Dinner & Silent Auction, sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary, is scheduled at the Legion. After the weekly meat draw, dinner (by donation) takes place at 6 p.m., with the silent auction closing at 7:30 p.m. If you would like to submit any auction items or find out more about the event, contact the Legion at 250-397-2455.
