IFCC Parking Lot

The IFCC and Portland Parks and Recreation has asked Trillium parents, students and staff to no longer cut through the IFCC parking lot by foot or by car.

Even when going from the Trillium front doors to Patton Park, we are going to start using the sidewalks which are on Interstate Ave. and Maryland.

Let's be good neighbors, keep the kids safe and be sure that Trillium can always use Patton Park.

Food Forms

Hi! Just a heads up that there are food allergy/issue forms in each of your folders located outside of our classroom. We would love to have these back ASAP so we can plan for food for the Sleep Under. Thanks!

Next Thursday SLEEP UNDER!
6-8:30 - play, eat pizza, talent show, big parachute. Not for parents or siblings - just the students. Next morning (Friday) when you come to school we will make waffles and have breakfast together.

Friday's sharing is "Something from Nature"

Birthdays - Jackson's is the day after tomorrow. If you want to bring something a treat to share with the whole class to celebrate your birthday, it is really important that you talk to Whitney at least a couple days before hand.
