Armed with every ingredient for success, Samuel Langley set out, in the early 1900s, to be the first man to fly an airplane. Highly regarded, he was a senior officer at the Smithsonian Institution, a mathematical Professor, who also had worked at Harvard and his friends included some of the most powerful men in government and business; including Andrew Carnegie and Alexander Graham Bell. Langley was given $50,000 from the war department to fund his project. A tremendous amount of money for the time. He pulled together the best minds of the day, a veritable dream team of talent and know-how. Langley and his team used the finest materials and the press followed him everywhere. People all over the country were riveted to the story, waiting to read that he had achieved his goal. With the team he had gathered, and ample resources, his success was guaranteed. Or was it? A few hundred miles away, Wilbur and Orville Wright were working on their own flying machine. Their passion to fly was so intense that it inspired the enthusiasm and commitment of a dedicated group of people in their hometown of Dayton, Ohio.\u00a0 There was no funding for the venture, no government grants, and no high level connections.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, not a single member of the team had an advanced degree or even a college education, including Wilbur or Orville.\u00a0 But the team banded together in a humble bicycle shop and made their vision real. On December 17th, 1903, a small group witnessed a man take flight for the first time in history. How did the Wright brothers succeed where a better equipped, better funded, better educated team could not? It wasn&#8217;t luck. Both the Wright brothers and Langley were highly motivated, and both had a strong work ethic and keen scientific minds. They were pursuing exactly the same goal, but only the Wright brothers were able to inspire those around them and truly leave their team to develop a technology that would change the world. Only the Wright brothers started with why.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excerpt from Start with Why<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elkmeadow\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-04-at-10.17.05\u202fAM-1024x810.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-255\" style=\"width:532px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elkmeadow\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-04-at-10.17.05\u202fAM-1024x810.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elkmeadow\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-04-at-10.17.05\u202fAM-300x237.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elkmeadow\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-04-at-10.17.05\u202fAM-768x608.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elkmeadow\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-04-at-10.17.05\u202fAM-1536x1215.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/elkmeadow\/files\/2024\/03\/Screenshot-2024-03-04-at-10.17.05\u202fAM.png 1694w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Coming Week<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monday\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bike Safety 3\/4-3\/15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quick meeting about protected Minutes 2:30-?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tuesday\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Emma Keeton&#8217;s Birthday!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safety Meeting 7:00-7:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office Staff Meeting 10:00-10:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ICCL Team Meeting 2:30-3:15<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wednesday\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Read Across America<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Office Admin Meeting 9:00-9:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SIW &#8211; Collaborative Problem Solving Mary and Natalie 1:00-2:20<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thursday\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>PLC&#8217;s 2:30-3:15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>BAM Meeting 5:00-7:00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Friday\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SpEd Meeting 2:15-3:15<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>UPCOMING DATES:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>March 11 Staff Meeting 2:15-3:15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 12 Core Effectiveness Meeting with Lori (Grades 1, 5, 2)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 12 Office Staff Meeting 10:00-10:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 12 Care Team Meeting 2:30-3:15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 13 Office Admin Meeting 9:00-9:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 13 Art Workshop 9:30-10:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 13 SIW Art Training #3 1:00-2:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 14 Coaching Support with Lori<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 14 PLC&#8217;s 2:30-3:15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 14 Family Game Night 5:30-6:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 15 SpEd Meeting 2:15-3:15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 18 Core Effectiveness Meeting with Lori (Grades K, 4, 3)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 18 Carrie Shorthouse&#8217;s Birthday!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 19 Office Staff Meeting 10:00-10:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 19 Fire Drill 1:00<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 20 Jenn Kandra&#8217;s Birthday!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 20 Office Admin Meeting 9:00-9:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 20 Art Workshop 9:30-10:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 20 EA Meeting 1:00-1:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 20 SIW Teacher Prep<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 20 Admin PD Perseverance Hall<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 20 5th Grade Performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 21 PLC&#8217;s 2:30-3:15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 22 Kindergarten Forest Field Trip<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 22 SpEd Meeting 2:15-3:15<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 24-29 Spring Break!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" id=\"block-55a2c6f2-db26-4c5a-b096-63397b788505\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-64196e3a-0569-45bf-b585-c52258930367\">Updates from Downtown<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reminders:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-fb46d505-38ce-454f-a147-5a49afcc1b97\">\n<li><strong>Wonders Reading Materials<\/strong>&nbsp;At this time, we need to hold on to all TE\u2019s and Anthologies.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your school nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overdose Emergency Kits.&nbsp;BLS received several Overdose Emergency Kits through OHA\u2019s Save Lives Oregon Initiative. Each kit contains:&nbsp; Administration instructions, 4 boxes of naloxone, 2 CPR face shields, and 1 emergency box for storage.&nbsp;Each middle and high school received two kits and elementary schools received one kit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overdose Emergency Kit Location.&nbsp;Ideally, the Overdose Emergency Kit box should be mounted on a wall next to an AED cabinet so that it is easily accessible. However, this may not be feasible for your school site. Please consult with your school nurse about where the best location would be for these Overdose Emergency Kits.<em>&nbsp;AED cabinets still contain 2 doses of naloxone.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overdose Emergency Kit Location and Expiration Date Information.&nbsp;Once the location of the Overdose Emergency Kits have been identified, the school nurse will add the locations and the naloxone expiration dates to our district AED Master Spreadsheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bend.k12.or.us\/tammy.doty\/files\/2024\/02\/thumbnail_image001.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-840\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Tammy and Lisa:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Dates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\" id=\"block-fb46d505-38ce-454f-a147-5a49afcc1b97\">\n<li><strong>March 20:&nbsp;<\/strong>Admin PD at Perseverance Hall at Bend High 3:00-4:30<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>March 25-29:\u00a0<\/strong>Spring Break\u2014enter in UKG which days you will be taking as non-contract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And finally\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are you having a bad day?
