Wow! What a busy weekend here on May 21-23, with three days of junior high and high school rodeo. The Goldendale high school and junior high school rodeo club hosted the event and their parents put in a huge amount of work to make it a success. The rodeo grounds were packed with trucks and trailers, with contestants coming from every corner of the state.
Saturday night, the Goldendale club and their parents hosted a prom in the dance hall. These kids are on the road every weekend and have to miss their own high school proms, so this awesome evening made up for missing out at home. I don’t have event results for our Glenwood cowgirls at this time, so will share them when available.

The last day of school will be June 10. The kids have two weeks of swimming lessons at the Hood River pool to look forward to, starting June 14. The school was not able to have a swimming lessons program last year, so the kids are eagerly anticipating this year’s fun.
There has been progress in the Glenwood School superintendent search. The school board met with and interviewed the four candidates via Zoom on May 24. Following that session, the board narrowed the field to two candidates who will visit the school in person on June 9, have a tour of classrooms and all the facilities, meet students and staff, and have final, in-person interviews with the board. Stay tuned for an announcement regarding the superintendent selection.
Christina Kuhnhausen would like to remind anyone who would like to take part in the Glenwood Rodeo Parade to please contact her at 509-364-3326 to get signed up.
