We place newly found items on a bench in the main hallway for a couple of days and then move anything unclaimed into the back hallway. Please ask Karen, Vickie, Donna or Vanessa to help you if you'd like to check the lost and found. To help us reunite lost items with their owners, please mark items with your child's name.

Report from Outdoor School

Click to view this email in a browser

Dear Level 2 Families - A quick note to let you know that all is well with our students at Outdoor School at Cedar Ridge Camp near Vernonia. Amazingly, for mid-November, the sun was even shining on them this afternoon during their field studies of water, wildlife, plants and geology. We'll save the stories for them to tell you when they return on Friday, but rest assured that they are safe, happy and having a great time. They are scheduled to board buses back to school at about noon on Friday, so we expect to see them by the usual 1:05 p.m. dismissal time on Friday. If you have questions before then, please contact Karen Torry at k.torry@fgcschool.org or 503-359-4600.
