A message from the President: On Tuesday, March 30th, the president of Springdale School Community Association met with Mr. Bob Dunton, Superintendent of Corbett School District and other administrators.  At that time, Mr. Dunton explained he was informed by Multnomah County’s Compliance Officer that the use of the Springdale School is illegal.  Mr. Dunton said he was told to either present a plan to bring Springdale School up to code or fines would be levied if the facility remains in use.  To meet the current county code improvements it will be very expensive and difficult given the county’s short time frame.
 
The task of finding out how to make the Springdale School compliant has been a project of  SSCA.

In honor of EARTH DAY this month, our club is collecting block styrofoam and rigid plastics to take into the City of Gresham for their Earth Day Celebration and Recycling Event on April 24th. We wanted to encourage others to take a look at the other items they are collecting and some of the other fun to be had and make a day of it!

Our club is also planning on creating a permanent collection area for some of these hard to recycle items at the Springdale School Community Center in the next month or so. This will allow more people in our community to divert these things from our landfills. Our club will be responsible for delivering these items to the appropriate recycling centers too.

Select here to learn more about our club and to visit our Earth Day page with a link to a great video ( the best I have seen ) on how to have the important conversation of climate change with your friends and family. No matter what your position on this subject - this video is for you.

May 15th and 16th, 10 am to 5 pm held at the Corbett School Building
Sponsored by the Corbett Education Foundation

A mobile, half-scale sculpture of the head of the Statue of Liberty made from wire and rebar, covered in fiberglass, and mounted on a wheeled platform will be pulled or pushed down the main street as part of our Corbett Fourth of July parade.  Children and community members will make and decorate lines of “Liberty Flags” to fly from a fiberglass tower growing from the sculpture.  Read all about this wonderful project here.

"I took my four year old out for a special 'mommy and son' lunch recently to Big Bear's Deli.  He enjoyed a cheeseburger, chocolate shake and fries. He also said, rather loudly, that " We should eat here every day!" I don't know about that... but I do know that we had a very nice lunch with very friendly and attentive service, it was extremely affordable and you just can't beat 2 minutes from home! - M. Schmidt
