With funding from the Oregon Youth Development Council’s “Youth & Gangs Grants”, the City of Gresham is sponsoring a late-night basketball program every Friday from 6 to 10 p.m. at H.B. Lee Middle School.

Boys & Girls, Grades 6-12

The program, which started last fall, offers skill-building and supervised games for youth in grades 6 through 12. The program is part of a larger citywide effort to connect more at-risk youth with positive adults and activities, and so far it’s working well. Last year an average of 50 youth participated every Friday night without incident. Following the success of year one, the school happily agreed to continue its partnership with the City, and the state renewed the grant fund-ing for the next biennium.

Reynolds School District seeks $125M bond for improved security, school replacements, upgrades

By Valerie Tewksbury
Citizens for Safe Reynolds Schools

Measure 26-143 asks Reynolds School District voters to approve a capital bond authorizing $125 million in construction on the May 19, 2015 ballot. This bond is projected to cost $1.56 per $1000, the same tax rate as our patrons’ 2014 Property Tax Bill.

The completion of these projects would improve the learning environment for thousands of our students. Modern spaces cost less to operate and the savings can be used to make additional improvements throughout the district.

The organization currently serves over 425 youth, half of whom live east of I-205. According to Friends of the Children’s COO, Mark Young, the organization anticipates enrolling many of each year’s new class of kindergartners from East County elementary schools. The program focuses on enrolling youth whose life challenges put them most at-risk of school failure, juvenile delinquency and early parenting.
