Duniway Spring Showcase and Concerts are TOMORROW NIGHT – May 23rd!

Wednesday, May 3^rd is our Spring Showcase from 6-8 pm.  The Spring Showcase (formally known as the Duniway Art Show) is a celebration of the hard work that has taken place this year across many disciplines.  Depending on the classroom(s) you visit, you will see artwork, writing, and examples of other projects that students have been working on over the course of the last weeks and months.  Remember, this is an open house, so even if you have just a few minutes, we hope you can stop by school between 6-8 PM.  

We have 3 wonderful Concerts as part of the evening activities as well!  Please come to see our Kindergartener’s perform in the cafeteria at 6:00.  Our 4^th graders will perform in the auditorium at 6:30 and the Duniway Choir will perform in the cafeteria at 7:15.

Come celebrate the Art at Duniway!

Athletes from the Portland Interscholastic League won Class 6A state championships in track and field and golf last week, led by a Benson High School sophomore who took two titles with record performances. 

Ockley Green Middle School showed off some teamwork at the 56^th Annual St. John’s Parade. Ockley Green was one of seven PPS schools that had an entry in the parade (joining Bridlemile Elementary, Faubion K-8, George Middle, Franklin and Lincoln highs and Metropolitan Learning Center), but was the only school to feature its band and dance team performing together. The two teams combined on “Celebration” and the James Bond theme song.

Last week, 31 students who are about to graduate from PPS high schools were honored in the Golden Minds ceremony, which honors the district’s top Asian and Pacific Islander seniors. The ceremony, held at the district office, recognized students for academic achievement, community service and overcoming daily challenges.

Approximately 350 Special Education students from across the district, ranging from kindergarten to eighth grade, attended the first annual Superhero Field Day on May 17 at the Jefferson High School track. Students had a blast circulating through 16 stations, such as the Aquaman Relay and Hulk Smash!
