Hello!

 

My name is DC Re-Bloom.  I have the distinct honor of serving as principal at the Elizabeth Hayhurst School, located on the ancestral home of the Atfalati band of the Kalapuya people, in SW Portland. Our community works relentlessly to uphold the memory of our namesake: the first president of the Oregon Parent Teacher Association in the early 1900’s.  With her work as our guideposts, we put community at the center of everything we do.  We know, beyond a doubt, that when educators, students, families, and neighborhoods come together, true equitable and democratic societies flourish and all students achieve at high levels. 

 

Please take a moment to peruse our weekly newsletter, The Hayhurst Husky Howl, and our brand new website.  And, if there's ever anything you need, please reach out: 503-916-6300.  Or email me at drebloom@pps.net.

 

In service,

DC 

A little over 30 years ago, a Madison High School student named Joseph Janson had a simple wish. He wanted to go to a dance. But nothing was simple for Joseph, who was born with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy and was confined to a wheelchair. 

He confided his wish to Tony Nitz, who at that time was an educational assistant at Madison (now Leodis V. McDaniel High School). Tony had been working one-on-one with Joseph for months and he immediately went about making the young man’s dream come true.

“The truth is, I would have done anything for Joseph,” Nitz said. “He was a unique person, and we had a very special bond.”

Madi Bourdon’s first book practically wrote itself. 

According to the Glencoe Elementary School counselor and Gender Sexuality Alliance (GSA) coordinator, it only took them an hour and a half to finish A Kid’s Book About Chosen Family, which came out this March with A Kid’s Co. publishing.

For the past three years, Alondra Nieves Barajas has been both student and teacher.

Most days, the senior from Roosevelt High School attends class, does her homework, and spends time with her friends just like any other 18-year-old. But on Wednesday nights, you can find her at the front desk, teaching adults – often much older than herself – the ins and outs of the United States naturalization test.

When Aaron Presberg first got the email from the White House, he thought it was some sort of prank. 

Then he shared the message with a few colleagues who assured him that it was no joke, and the exciting reality that he had been invited to Washington, D.C. to present at the White House’s first-ever Summit for Sustainable and Healthy K–12 School Buildings and Grounds started to sink in.
