We gladly invite everyone to our annual Winter Choir Festival of 2019! This year is especially exciting because we are welcoming the Cleveland Youth Choir of Sellwood to the stage to perform with us for the first time! There will be alumni-invites to the stage to join us in singing, the organ will be playing before and during the concert, and the audience will be asked to join in caroling throughout the show! We hope you can join us at 7pm for an evening of singing and sharing music together out of the cold! 

 

 

 

 

Dear Parents and Cleveland Community Members,

 With parent conferences and Thanksgiving behind us the holiday season has truly kicked off! One of the personal benefits of moving back to the Portland area for my family are the great traditions we have in our city for all families to enjoy. Attending the Zoo lights and Peacock Lane are personal favorites of ours. I hope you have the opportunity to celebrate the season with your family in your own special ways, and create everlasting memories and traditions that bring you all joy and happiness.

 We have numerous upcoming music performances from our bands and choirs. Please check our webpage for dates, times, and locations. Our incoming 9^th grade visitation day, Bridging the Gap, will occur on 12-12-2019 from 7 PM to 9 PM. This event gives incoming and prospective students and their families the opportunity to visit our school and learn about the programs that make Cleveland special.

 Hopefully, you have heard about the district wide initiative to modernize Cleveland High School. As a final step in the conceptual master planning process the planning committee is inviting any and all community members interested in providing feedback on the conceptual designs the larger committee created. Please join us on 12-10-2019 from 5-7 PM. The location will be clearly advertised upon your arrival.

 I am proud to advertise a special way in which Cleveland is special. Our leadership program, managed by Mrs. Brighouse and Ms. Weesner, have initiated the annual “CHS Gives Back” program. In the spirit of giving back to our community we encourage everyone to donate funds or partnerships that benefit people in need. Last year funds raised helped support: Holiday food for needy families, the food pantry here on campus, rental and utility assistance, grocery items, and supporting victims of domestic abuse. The best way to support Cleveland Gives Back is through SchoolPay at: tinyurl.com/CHSGB2019.

 Lastly, with the school year almost at the halfway point I wanted to express my deepest gratitude for the support from the community for Cleveland High School on behalf of the staff and students. We are very fortunate to have such wonderful community members on our side.

Happy Holidays,

Leo Lawyer

Principal

 

It was. The promo was for “The Great American Baking Show,” an amateur competition on ABC, and Troeschel, who teaches drama at Kelly, is one of the contestants. The show’s new holiday-themed season begins airing Thursday at 9 p.m. (locally on KATU/2), and Troeschel, with the rest of the nation, will see the episodes for the first time.
