Happy September Grout Eagles! We've got a busy month of "back to school" festivities and activities. First up is our welcome back picnic and parent's meeting on Thursday, September 10th. Bring a blanket and your own meal to the playground then head inside to learn about all the exciting things we have planned for this year. It's a great evening to meet your classmates and create community. See you there!

PSA: It's fledgling season and the crows near our school are getting a little protective of their babies. Dive bombings and aggressive "Caw Caw Caws" have been reported along 32nd Ave. and Gladstone St. Be careful out there Grout walkers! It's not called a MURDER of crows for nothing.

A few raindrops and some gray skies couldn't put a damper on our excitement for Field Day!!!

Mr. Ferguson’s Funky-Fresh Fourth Grade Class took a field trip to the Oregon Historical Society today. Thank you to TriMet for getting them there and back! Thank you to Oregon Historical Society guides Darren and Chet for leading them through some of the incredible “Experience Oregon” exhibit!! And thank you to all the parents who chaperoned!!! Field trips like this are only possible with the help of our amazing parent volunteers.

Good News: Thanks to the passage of Measure 26-261, if any Grout kids (or their parents) want to come back and see more of the museum, it’s free for all Multnomah County residents! That's right, we can see the legendary Portland Penny for zero pennies.
