Cookie Extravaganza & Hot Cocoa Bar
Join Us for the Annual Staff Cookie Extravaganza!
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 18th as we celebrate our dedicated staff with our beloved Cookie Extravaganza and Hot Chocolate Bar! We’re looking for 55 dozen cookies or treats to create a delightful spread, allowing each staff member to pick a dozen cookies as a heartfelt holiday thank you. We will also have a hot beverage station available.
We invite you to dust off your favorite recipe or grab some treats from your favorite local bakery—whatever works best for you! Let's show our incredible staff just how much we appreciate all they do.

Rowe Community Meet & Greet with Julianne Opperman
The PTO invites you to a Meet & Greet with Julianne Opperman, our District 3 Representative on Portland's School Board.
As the Superintendent's office and School Board work through this year's budget process and strategic plan, Julianne is interested in connecting directly with our community in order to hear our thoughts.
This is a great opportunity for our community to ask questions and provide feedback directly with Julianne in a small setting, with the focus mostly on our school. Please join us!
If you are unable to attend, or in addition to attending, Julianne invites you to complete the district's Strategic Plan Feedback Form, found here.
