Emily Avendano for being the only student to make donations on both Monday and Tuesday. Kiley Thompson for being the only 8 th grader to make a donation this week.

Air Petition to Governor Brown There are chemicals being dumped into the air by colored glass companies all around Portland that have been shown to give people cancer. ​ My brother (Llewellyn) and I (Matreya Barnett, 6th) have started a students petition to Governor Brown with help from Josie Chatkupt(6th) and Lily Burke(6th). The three of us will be in the courtyard before school tomorrow with signature pages and you can sign the petition in the office. PLEASE NOTE: It is VERY important that NO ONE signs more than once. The entire pages of signatures will be discarded. Also NO fake names. This starts tomorrow and ends on Friday. We need 400 signatures. Many people are at risk of these chemicals. We at Sellwood are not in the immediate danger zone, but we are still very close by. Please come see us before school or sign the petition in the office. Thank You!
