The Mica Event Hall began in 1890 as a Grange Hall for our community. Last night, thanks to Lane Mathews, a junior at FHS, and community members the hall returned to its roots as a Grange.

The definition of Grange is a social organization that encourages families to band together to promote the economic and political well-being of the community and agriculture.

We listened to each other, and the students as they lifted their voices in advocacy for a yes vote for the levy. Some will graduate before the effects of this vote come to fruition, but they were there, lifting their voices and asking adults to vote for them and the next generation.

There is a tribe in Africa called Masai whose traditional greeting to each other is “Casserian Engeri.” It means, “And how are the children?” They do not ask each other, “How are you?” or “How's your day?” but rather they ask about the next generation.

According to data from the Office Of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) our children are graduating at a higher rate than the state average, our students who attend 90% or more of school days well exceeds the state average, our classroom sizes are smaller than the state average, our teachers have greater years of experience than the state average, and that leads me to say our children are well. I want to keep this as a goal for our community to be able to continue to say our children are well. We may differ on the actions that lead to that answer. For that reason, I again lift up the purpose of the Grange, to promote political well- being, so I ask our community to please vote.

Every event is special for us. This old building was made with the purpose of bringing families and our community together. We have made it our purpose to bring it back to life. We worked a bit extra this week as we are excited for our cousin's wedding this weekend. We have been counting down the days and it’s finally here. I can’t wait to dance and celebrate!

The hall was packed to celebrate an amazing couples 50th anniversary. We heard stories from couples talking about how their own wedding reception was held here 40 and 50 years ago. It feels good to be able to help recreate special moments for families in our community.
