    Hello Skyline! 
     
    This is Alli and Jenny, this year's garden and grounds stewards. 
     
    Did you know that our beautiful school grounds are maintained primarily through parent and community volunteers? This is both a difficulty (we have a large space) and a blessing (we all benefit from the gardens and can choose what we plant and care for). 
     
    One of our jobs as stewards is to help spearhead garden work sessions (we like to call them Garden Parties), where families and friends of Skyline join us for a couple of hours of work weeding, trimming and cleaning our school grounds. Kids sometimes help, or have a blast playing with friends on the playground while parents work. Chai and snacks are offered after the work is done. It is a lovely way to meet other parents, get some outside play time, and to feel good about making the school a more beautiful place!
     
    This year we are setting our garden party dates in advance so that those of us who are planners can mark their calendars. We are also trying out something new by making the garden parties focused on different classes each month. Though, anyone who wants to come can come to any of the parties!
     
    Here are the dates:
     
    October: Sunday the 6th 1:00-3:00 pm (3rd-5th graders)
    November: Saturday the 9th 10:00-12:00 (K-2nd graders)
    December: Sunday the 8th 10:00-12:00 (6th-8th graders)
    January: Saturday the 11th 1:00- 3:00pm (3rd-5th graders)
    February: Sunday the 9th 1:00- 3:00pm (K-2nd graders)
    March: Saturday the 8th 10:00-12:00 (6th-8th graders)
    April: Sunday the 13th 10:00-12:00 (EVERYONE)
    May: Saturday the 17th 1:00-3:00 (EVERYONE)
     
    What to bring? Bring yourselves, and any gardening tools you like to use.
    No tools? No problem!
    We have a selection of hand tools at Skyline for our gardening volunteers.
    Bringing a weed whacking device (like a brush hog) has been a great help in tackling the ever growing blackberry bushes that like to sneak into the playground, track field etc.
     
    The skyline gardens belong to all of us and we welcome everyone’s ideas and enthusiasm on ways to make it even better for our kids! 
     
    Special requests: 
    • We are looking for folks who have irrigation knowledge to help revive our current (non-functioning) system. 
    • We are also interested in finding a rototiller that can work on the steep slope between the field and the playground so that we can till up the blackberries and repopulate that area with native plants and wildflowers. 
    • We are always looking for volunteers with trucks/trailers that can help haul compost or wood chips in, and brush and debris out, on garden party days. 
     
    Please reach out to us (Alli: allisoleil@protonmail.com, Jenny: jennyhuntsf@gmail.com) if you have any questions or ideas! 
     
    Thank you!!
    Alli and Jenny

  • Jefferson High School Students Hit the Red Carpet for Student-Made Safety Film

    9/24/2024

    The Dr. Matthew Prophet Education Center, the rather staid home to Portland Public Schools administrative staff, had a very different look on Monday evening when it hosted the world premiere of “The Return of Emergetron.”

    The red carpet event was in celebration of a new film starring students – and for students – about the many emergency scenarios they might encounter in a typical school year.

    Portland Public Schools’ Comprehensive School Psychology program was recently named the recipient of a prestigious $5.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education for its proven track record of improving student well-being and academic performance. 

    The renewable, school-based mental health grant will be used to provide comprehensive school psychology services to 18 Title I schools across the district for the 2024-25 school year. This is up from 11 schools served in the previous year. Through the duration of the grant, 25 schools designated as Title I at the time of the grant award will receive comprehensive school psychology services.

  • McDaniel Junior Takes Top Honors in State Solo Music Contest

    6/14/2024

    When Beckham Weatherby picks up his tuba, the rest of the world falls away. 

    “I don’t get that nervous and I don’t get stage fright at all,” he said. “I guess I got lucky with how my body reacts to performing in front of crowds.”

    Which is something the McDaniel High School junior has done quite a bit of lately. Not only is he a member of the prestigious Portland Youth Philharmonic (PYP) and the PYP conservatory orchestra, but he recently earned first prize in the tuba solo performance category at the Oregon State Solo Music Championships.
