Ms. Bella Doll has been with Oregon as an Elementary Art Teacher for the past three years. She is currently in a masters program, but besides that she enjoys hiking and photography. She says that there have been a lot of firsts for her here at Oregon, and that she loves getting to grow as a teacher alongside her students. Oregon has been her first teaching experience and she is thankful for all the support that she has gotten on her journey here. She states, "Oregon has been a very welcoming place for me as a new teacher and I've really enjoyed my time here so far." Overall her experience of Oregon has been amazing, and she says that she really enjoys learning about how much of an impact she has had on students not just in her classroom, but throughout the day. She also says she really enjoys when Mr. Huels puts on his costumes and dresses up for the kiddos. Ms. Doll would like her students to know "that they can make mistakes because we are here to learn. The power to learn is awesome, and not every day is going to be perfect so don't take anything for granted." Ms. Doll has been an excellent addition to our staff and we are proud that she chose us.

This past Tuesday, the students from Mrs. Huels’ Kindergarten class at Oregon Elementary School had the opportunity to visit the residents of Allure of Pinecrest in Mount Morris. Through this special intergenerational program, students and seniors come together to build meaningful connections and share joyful experiences. It’s often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and the shining smiles captured during this visit say it all. Hearts were full, laughter was shared, and friendships were formed — proving that age is no barrier when it comes to kindness and connection. A heartfelt thank you to Gingersnapps Photography for volunteering her time and talent to capture these precious moments. Her photos beautifully reflect the spirit of Project Generations — where friendship truly knows no age.
