Project Graduation


District Representative Wayne Krieger, hands Coquille High School Co-senior class
presidents, Steffanie Jones and Leah Adams, checks totaling $1,350.00. The money
was contributed by Wayne and Colleen Krieger, State Representative Mike Schaufler
and Mr. Joseph Rohleder, after they heard of the plight of Project Graduation from
Coquille High students.

On a visit to Coquille  High School, Monday, April  6, State Rep Wayne Krieger  delivered contributions to  help recover funds stolen  from the senior class, earned  to cover costs of this years  graduation party.

Krieger scheduled a visit  to the High School after  receiving several letters  from students concerned  about school budget shortfalls.

“I was touched by the  sincere concern of the students  who took the time to  write to me....”  Krieger admitted Oregon  schools are falling far short  of meeting their budgets and  there is not an easy fix or an  end in sight.  “There are three priorities  for me, and schools are at  the top of the list.

The other  two are seniors and veterans.”  Krieger ended by saying  “thank you” to the students  for their questions and concerns.
