Volunteer at the PTA Clothing Closet! Monday 12/8/25

Every year, each PPS school sends volunteers to staff the Clothing Closet at the Marshall Campus. This is a fun event where we staff the Clothing Closet as a group!
Monday, Dec. 8th is Woodstock's first day to send volunteers from 9:30am -1:30pm to the PPS PTA Clothing Center to help kids receive clothing and to help sort donations so there are lots of choices for kids to see. Volunteers can be parents, grandparents or community members. The PTA Clothing Closet is 100% volunteer-supported and served over 1,500 students last school year!

Upcoming Donut Bike Buses

Mark your calendars for two December Donut Bike Buses - Friday, December 5 and Friday, December 19! Take a look at the Woodstock Bike Bus route map to find a route near you. Bike Buses encourage biking by creating designated routes to school that children and their families can join along the way. For families who commute to Woodstock School, you can join a Bike Bus by parking at the start of the route or anywhere along the way.

Woodstock Park Playground Questionnaire

The Woodstock Neighborhood Association’s Land Use Committee is seeking feedback from the community about the current play area in Woodstock Park. The play area has received very limited upgrades over the last twenty years, and the City of Portland has no improvements planned for the next ten years due to budgetary concerns. The WNA is exploring possibilities for community-initiated play area upgrades and would appreciate your input via this brief questionnaire.

Take the Survey!

The Lane Middle School PTA would like to invite incoming 6th graders and their families to an early, informal informational meeting to learn more about Lane Middle School. We will have a panel of current students and parents available to share about their experiences at Lane and to answer your questions. Please join us on Wednesday, December 3 at 6 pm in the Lane Middle School Library! Please RSVP for the event and send in any questions you may already have.

RSVP
