Dear Senator Community,

We are very happy to inform you that the gym building is now back in business. The one exception for the time being is the wrestling room. We’d like to thank the district for their quick response as well as the engineering and construction firms who did the careful work to ensure safe learning environments.

Best,

Petra

In this week's PPS Pulse: Benson principal wins Lifetime Achievement Award; nominations open for Oregon Teacher of the Year

For Benson High School principal Curtis Wilson Jr., receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award was exciting. To receive it at Portland’s annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave the honor added meaning.

Do you know a teacher who is making a huge difference in the lives of students? Nominations are being accepted for the 2020 Oregon Regional Teacher of the Year Awards.

The annual “We the People” Constitution state high school championship Saturday will feature the usual intrigue of one of the state’s great rivalries – Grant vs. Lincoln. But beyond that battle at the Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse, one other emotional subplot will play out:

The farewell competition for Franklin coach Portia Hall.
