Enrichment Program-Call for Volunteers!
We have just wrapped up a fun and successful first-session of enrichment programming for this year. Thank you to everyone who helped make these before and after school clubs so special! We have two more 6-week sessions planned for later in the school year.
As we start planning for future clubs, we are reaching out to our Rowe community to see if any family volunteers might be interested in helping to facilitate future clubs. A few clubs we’d love to be able to offer include:
Chess club
Oragami
Sewing
Jewelry Making
But we are not limited to those! We’d love to connect with you if you have any hobbies you’d like to share with our students. Please reach out to Jill at enrichment@roweschoolpto.org or fill out our Rowe Enrichment interest survey to discuss the possibilities!
Walking school bus
In an effort to ensure kids are getting to school safely and on time, Rowe is looking for volunteers to restart the Walking School bus program in the Sagamore Village neighborhood. While Sagamore Village is the priority, if you are a parent and are interested in starting a walking school bus from your neighborhood to Rowe, please email Principal Trivisonno and Kerrie Dowdy if you are interested, Joe -trivij@portlandschools.org and Kerrie -president@portlandea.com.
