8th grade families- on Friday, June 14th, we will visit Portland for our final 8th grade celebration.  Students need to be at school by 7:15am to jump on the bus.  We plan on returning to school by 9:30pm for you to pick up your students.  We will have an urban experience, visiting the zoo and OMSI.  We’ll also use the MAX line to travel in the city.  Students need to bring a water bottle and a sack lunch or a school sack lunch that we provide (no microwaveable food, please).

Also, we will stop at the Salem food carts for dinner on our way home.  Have your student bring $15-$20 to buy themselves dinner.  The school will cover the cost of the bus, zoo, and OMSI.  Permission slips are coming home today, or find it here.
