Activists

There's nothing like hearing your school's name on the chopping block for potential closure to get people riled up.  Unfortunately, Portland Public Schools (which has a long history of inequities, especially to schools in our neighborhood) put Vernon on the potential cut that list and my boys were not going to take it sitting down.  They love their school.  They made signs and attended the rally on Saturday.  They also think that they're famous now because they were on the news all weekend.
 Front and center.
 Family shot.  Can you find us in the crowd?
