Participants are invited to take a refreshing splash in the Willamette River in order to raise donations of warm winter coats, scarves, and gloves for those in need. Donations will go toward the District's Family Empowerment Center, where they will be distributed to students and families who need them most.

The Polar Plunge will include a warm fire, complimentary sweet treats, and a costume contest. Pre-register, or learn more, by visiting the City's Website.

The Portland-Metro area continues to experience a sharp increase in respiratory illnesses in children and adults. These illnesses include the Flu, Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections (RSV), and COVID-19.

Flu cases have climbed to record levels nationwide compared to the same time period in the past years with hospitalizations also reaching record levels. Clackamas County Public Health and Oregon Health Authority encourage all families to take every-day precautions, including getting vaccinated, handwashing, covering coughs and sneezes, wearing masks or face coverings, and staying home if you are sick.

Learn more by visiting the Oregon Health Authority website. Thank you for your help in keeping our students and staff safe.

The West Linn-Wilsonville Family Empowerment Center and Clackamas Community College Community Education are collaborating to bring computer literacy, English, Spanish and Chinese learning to interested WLWV parent-guardians, families and members of the community at NO COST to you.

Winter classes begin in early January. Find the full list of course offerings, as well as enrollment information, by visiting the Family Empowerment Center webpage. We hope to see you there!

Additional funds will enable MAP to fill more grant requests from teachers as well as increase student scholarship award levels.

The Lynne Detrick Memorial Instrument Fund helps purchase, repair, and replace instruments from their programs. Learn more at the MAP website.
