There will soon be a cooperative instructional program for ice skaters of the North Big Horn area. The activities have been organized and is sponsored by the Lovell Jaycees and will involve ice skating lessons, a seminar on how to care for skates, how to have skates sharpened and why properly cared for skates work better than those skates which have been abused, along with instructions on skating maneuvers, which will also be taught.

The two teachers (Nancy Dillon and Minda Mabe) made a proposal for the looping program to the Big Horn County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees at Monday’s regular meeting. Looping is an education experience for students and a teacher to stay together for two years. Currently Dillon teaches second grade and Mabe third grade.
Under the program, approved by the board on a 5-1 vote, Dillon’s second grade class this year would follow her to the third grade, and Mabe would start with a new class in second grade for the 1999-2000 school year. That second grade class will then follow Mabe to third grade.

Three teams of book lovers competed for the honor of representing Lovell Middle School in a multi-school reading competition called the “Challenge of the Books” that was held at the school on Thursday, Dec. 5. Each student read two or three books, and then the team was challenged to identify a book and to name its author after a quote was read to them by contest organizers Gwen Walker and librarian Shelly Lohof. The winning team, led by Grace Edwards, consisted of Paige Bischoff, Andrea Monterde, Lily Jones, Hunter Steenbakkers and Emily Mangus.
