What REALMS is about

What is REALMS

REALMS is a Hands On Learning Charter School in Central Oregon. We are very different from most schools because we normally do not believe in learning by textbooks and homework (though we do have some). Our purpose is to foster scholarship, strengthen community, and inspire stewardship through active learning.

Here we have a mission, a mission to challenge each other to investigate, understand, and become stewards of the human and natural world around us.

Our Mission

Our Mission

Our mission is to help the process of restoration for Tumalo Creek. Meaning what we did to help restore Tumalo after the Bridge Creek fire. Since the fire was so devastating loggers came and took all of the trees away including the trees that were in the banks. After that there was nothing left. People finally realized that what we are doing to the creek is wrong so they started to fix it. They thought that it would be nice for the schools to get involved and that’s where we come in.

The 8th grade classes started to get really involved. We replanted trees and most of the riparian vegetation along the side of the creek along with a couple other schools.

Tumalo Week 1 Maps


Tumalo Map Day
Stacia, Mariah, and Cole identifying what kind of map. 

During the map activity Mr. Beck our science teacher told us to try to figure out where we were located on the map we would be given. right after the instructions we broke into groups and tryed to locate our selves on the maps using only the knowledge we came with before that day. This seemed very hard to me sense I did not understand maps very well before this activity. Each group of 4 or 5 received different styles and types of maps. Eventually every group successfully found where our study site was on the map. Afterwards the groups presented  to our class how they came to understand and use the map they were given. By the end of the activity we all could recognize how to use and locate our self on different types of maps. -Sienna, Trevor, Isaiah, Noah
