I hope you all had a lovely spring break. That sunshine was killer, wasn’t it?!

This is a reminder to make sure you and/or your kids get to the Lost & Found in the back of the cafeteria and grab those lost items. I tagged all of the items in L & F a month ago (the last time I posted photos) and any tagged items still there next week will be donated to the PPS Clothing Center. I will then tag all the remaining items and repeat the cycle next month.

🌺 If the weather is looking nice on Thursday (so far, it is) I will wheel the rack of goods out to the black top by the basketball court after school in hopes of reuniting treasured hoodies and jackets with their rightful owners. 🧥

Pending approval, I am working on finding an organization where I can donate the masses of left behind water bottles. If you know of a nonprofit that can put them to good use will you please share that info? I’m thinking something along the lines of Portland Homeless Family Solutions or Path Home, etc. but welcome ideas.

I want to note once again how helpful the custodial staff is with collecting with collecting the kids’ lost belongings and keeping things from getting too disastrous in our little corner of the cafeteria. They’re the best!

Thanks in advance for taking time to check for your belongings. Have a great week!
