The exhibit presents several of the well-known and idealized scenes of the railroad&#8217;s construction (1868-69) as photographed by Russell while under the commission of the Union Pacific Railroad. In addition to the well-known images, the exhibit presents examples of stereo-views taken by Russell and other photographers that offer a more complete and less sanitized version of the railroad&#8217;s history.

We invite you to make a difference by attending any or all of our Education Week events &#8211; like speed-dating (singles only ), movie night, an Aggie ice cream social, and a 5 on 5 basketball tournament, to name a few.  Help raise money for the Taylor Sauer Memorial Scholarship or contribute to the CAPSA Donation Drive. There will be lots of fun, food, games, prizes, and raffles throughout the week, so don&#8217;t miss out!

By fostering an educational philosophy that valued and promoted diversity, she transformed her students&#8217; lives. She encouraged them to re-think rigid beliefs about themselves and others, reconsider daily decisions, and ultimately re-chart their futures. With Erin&#8217;s support, they chose to forego teenage pregnancy, drugs, and violence to become aspiring college students, published writers, and citizens for change. Sponsored by CEHS Education Council.

Have you ever tried to coordinate a play to score while pulling around an equestrian? 
That's exactly what donkey basketball (www.donkeysports.com) offers: the chance to maneuver a donkey across a basketball court in order to score your bucket. Utah State University and associated high schools will all be a part of an event that will give approximately half of its proceeds to the Cache County Community Food Pantry (www.cachefoodpantry.com), which serves the Cache, Box Elder and Rich counties. 
Watch for drawings at the associated schools for an opportunity to play in the game! Four first rounds, two semifinals and a title game will take place. High school faculty, adults and students will all play. A large screen projecting the NCAA Men's Basketball National Championship and concessions will also be available.
