Walk And Bike To School Month

Hello Trillium Community,
Trillium school is celebrating walking and biking to school during the month of May, starting this Monday, May 2. We hope that you will join us by walking or biking to school with family or neighbors as many days as you can during the five weeks of May.
Win Raffle Prizes!
For every trip to school by foot or bike you will be entered into a raffle for prizes, including a brand new bicycle!!
Join a Bike Train
There will also be four “Bike Trains” – groups of parents and kids riding to school together - on the five Mondays in May, coming from North, Northeast, East and Southeast of the school. Look at the large color map we will soon have posted next to the MLK poster in the circulation area inside the school for routes and times for the Monday Bike Train closest to you, and join us!
Or Walk With Us From Peninsula Park
Live too far to walk or bike to school with your kids? Park your car at Peninsula Park’s southwest corner (Ainsworth and Albina), and join a Walking School Bus or Bike Train to school leaving at 8:15am!
For more information, including morning and afternoon start times, or to sign up for a Bike Train or Walking School Bus, email Robert Ping at: walknbike@gmail.com

We will have a class meeting tomorrow. Please check in with your student to see if they need to prepare anything.

On Friday after school we will celebrate May Day with a Maypole dance, starting at 12:15 and ending at 12:30. Here are some details:

Informal instruction and practice will start at noon during pickup. Instruction for students will be given by Brian Porter in the morning.
You may write a message or thought on your ribbon with a marker that will be provided.
Ribbons will be provided but you may bring your own (~25 feet long please).

Let's take the energy of Spring and direct it into our school and community, with hope for growth and stability. We will create a colorful woven windsock that can fly on our roof garden.
