“I was having my environmental science class do a debate about the spotted owl and logging as we were learning about the environment and the economy and how they tie together,” said Madden “My first hour environmental science students were very creative in their arguments in favor of saving the old growth forest for the owl as well as those who were in favor of using it for logging. One student even made it into my student quote book when he, in favor of logging, argued that “owls are propaganda”,”

“I have been seeing signs about the Fall Festival and it sounds really exciting! I am also looking forward to Community day,” Madden said
