Please come and network with a volunteer team from the middle school to plan for our grant funded community greenhouse, to be built on the Sellwood Middle School campus. To raise awareness of the project, and to build community, we are now planning the first annual Sellwood Sustainability Fair for April 25th, 10 am- 2pm.
An enthusiastic team of middle schoolers from the Make a Difference Club, parents, school administrators, and Portland State University students have been hard at work on the fair. Please come the the meeting on wednesday to find out how you can share your skills and volunteer with parents and your neighbors in this SE Uplift grant funded fair.
Are you a gardener skilled at selecting waterwise drought tolerant plants? Are you an organic gardener knowledgeable about what vegies grow well in the sellwood neighborhood? Are you an amateur bicycle mechanic who could offer your expertise to middle schoolers for an hour, to help them learn how to tune up their bikes? Would you like to find out more about local solar, geothermal, educational projects happening right here in sellwood? Would you like to find out more about how to protect your family from plastics with toxic components? Do you have an excellent idea for a booth?
Please bring your ideas and energy and work with us to build community. Neighborhood residents will be invited to use the greenhouse once built. We will have a groundbreaking ceremony at the fair, and the Sellwood Playgroup Association is planning exciting age appropriate games for younger children as well!
