This Saturday, May 18th, the Winnemucca Community Garden will host an Afternoon of Live Music in the Garden.    Every year the Community Garden has an annual “kick off” event – this year rather than having a dinner and silent auction, the Garden has decided to have an outdoor, family-friendly event with entertainment for everyone.

The first announcement, though, was the appointment of Janet Kennedy to replace Ray Garrison as principal of Winnemucca Jr. High School. Kennedy is currently the principal of McDermitt Combined School and Garrison is retiring.

Kelly Pinkston (McDermitt guidance counselor & GEARUP advisor) and Stacy Ramsey(GEARUP SPIF) teamed up with Trixie Byron (Ft McDermitt tribe education specialist) to plan and implement a career/college fair on May 7.

“It was a privilege,” said the Winnemucca physical therapist and owner of Rehab Services of Nevada. “You can’t imagine what a difference this program makes in people’s lives.”

The McDermitt 7th grade GEARUP class took their first college field trip on Wednesday (May8). Kelly Pinkston (counselor and GEARUP advisor) worked with Lisa Campbell(GBC Winnemucca campus director) to set a day to visit the campus.
