Happy almost February Sunnyside Community,
I just read last night that starting today, we will have sunlight until 5:00 pm and then it just starts getting lighter and lighter. I know that winter in Oregon seems to last forever, but I was excited to read that there is light at the end of the proverbial Oregon rain tunnel! And, it's hard to remember that all this rain means a beautiful spring and summer for our gardens and outdoors.
Speaking of gardens, Nathan and his daily rotating crew of students have really started to get this garden growing. The winter sowing will bring many seedlings soon and in the garden office, there are many plants under a lamp with their starts getting ready for the garden. So excited for our gardens this year!
Middle school continues to get out there for field study and this week Mary Gage's class visited the Portland Art Museum and Michael's class went to Powell Butte to do some native planting. Today Eric, Corbin, Joseph, and Michell's class participated in their day of service. They cleaned around the school, organized the lost and found, helped in the office, picked up garbage, and just generally made the school look beautiful. Thanks to all our parent helpers and all for making this happen.
Today Northwest Noggin visited our 4th grade classes to look at and touch brains! During the visit they had a performance by our very own resident rock star Asa Gervich! I did not know Asa could rock out like that and we all enjoyed it so much. You should have seen the looks of delight on the student's faces.

The end of the semester is next week and we are excited to wrap up this semester and start the next one.
Thanks for all you do and have a wonderful weekend.
