N/NE History & Storytelling

Posted on by

From Groundwork Portland:

A remarkable group of individuals have come together over two meetings at Reflections Coffee and Talking Drum Bookstore to plan an inter-generational exchange between community elders and King School students. Students in the Schools Uniting Neighborhoods program on Tuesdays and Thursdays over the next 5 weeks will learn from community members about their experiences growing food, living in N/NE, neighborhood changes overtime, and what it means to have a community garden in King Neighborhood today.

Students will be taking the stories and lessons they learn and creating art that will then go at the Emerson Garden site.

Would you like to participate or help?

Coffee Chats with Principal Patterson, Parents

Posted on by

There are only three remaining coffee chats scheduled this year for incoming, current, and prospective parents of King School. Principal Patterson will host in the school library at 4906 NE 6th Avenue just south of Alberta Street. Those new to the school can visit, learn more about the upcoming partnership with OMSI, International Baccalaureate certification, afterschool and summer school programs and anything else that comes to mind.

This week, parents, including yours truly, will be on hand to talk about the parent experience and community. There is no substitute for seeing the school first-hand. The King School community is committed to taking the anxiety out of the transition to school for the little ones. The school entrance is at the intersection of Humboldt and NE 6th by the playground. I hope to see you there.

The remaining dates are the Fridays of April 22nd, May 13th, and May 27th at 9:00 am.
