Our spring garden work party is this coming Saturday, April 24th from 10 AM to 12 PM. We invite all families to attend this special event. Our partners Depave will be leading a spring cleaning of the rain garden. As part of this event they will be teaching families about the types of plants in the rain gardens and how they function. They will also lead an activity on how to weave baskets out of reeds. Please come and join us in helping to clean out our stormwater facilities while your kids learn and play. The event will take place on the blacktop by the main doors. We will have garden gloves and tools. Please wear a mask. We are asking that people RSVP so we can bring enough supplies.

We will also be continuing work on the back garden weeding beds and prepping for our vegetable garden. If you are interested in these tasks, please come to the back gate on SE Cooper St. We will provide tools and hopefully a little bit of sunshine. 

Grab lunch, dinner or drinks from The Portland Bottle Shop this Sunday 4/25!  You’ll be supporting a local business and the Lewis PTA! They are open for patio dining, take out, curbside pick up and delivery. All menu items, bottle sales and tap sales are included. 

Happy Earth Day! In recognition of this annual tradition, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge all of the incredible work that students, staff, and partners are doing across the district to further our commitment to Climate Justice.

The PPS Youth Transition Program, in collaboration with Community Services Network, DePaul Industries, Meadowlark and Easter Seals of Oregon, is pleased to host a Virtual Special Education & Transition Resource Fair on April 27 and 28 from 6-8 p.m. Participants will receive information and valuable resources from a variety of local community agencies that provide support and services for students while in high school and beyond. 

Portland Public Schools is thrilled to announce the availability of $10 million to support partners who provide summer safety and enrichment programming for students this summer. 

Dear PPS Community,

As we continue welcoming our students to hybrid in-person learning, today we want to share a new resource that is available to you. For this project, we ReImagine a Digital Experience – an experience that is easy to navigate, multilingual, user-friendly and welcoming for ALL.
