We are having an Open House to share our amazing new building and celebrate the next big step for our school.

If you've visited the school before, you're in for a great surprise. Our new space is in a graceful old elementary school with big windows, a huge commercial kitchen and a real stage downstairs! If you or someone you know is interested in Democratic Education, Unschooling, or Free Schools--or just looking for an exciting educational option for your child, please join us. A little bit about our school and the details of the open house follow.

Take care and enjoy the last weeks of summer,

Student placement/training coordinator needed for a hospitality student exchange program bringing students from China.  Students need a U.S.-based work experience, coupled with an educational institution featuring a hospitality program. For the educational component,the student program is now connected with Mount Hood Community College. The next step is to hire someone in Oregon to place students in hotels for 1-year paid internships and also be the educational company’s representative in Oregon to manage those student placements during that time.

This is a great opportunity to work from home with some in-state travel managing the placements.

Tryon Life Community Farm, a sustainability education and demonstration center in S.W. Portland, launched ReCode Portland to identify and remove regulatory barriers to sustainable building and land use through grassroots organizing, education, and legislation.

Since December 2007, over 50 volunteers and several organizations have been actively involved in ReCode, and we have already enjoyed significant success as the catalyst of a statewide campaign to legalize the re-use of graywater.  

New OMSI Podcast: Plastics!

Sound Science: Providing Illuminating Answers to Wonder-Filled Questions

Tune into OMSI’s podcast, Sound Science, providing illuminating answers to wonder-filled questions. This week's question:

Do all plastics come from petroleum oil?

A new edition of Sound Science is posted every Friday. The podcast is like a radio show, with host Anders Liljeholm asking OMSI educators to respond to questions from people from around the world. The interviews are approximately 5-10 minutes in length.

You can also check out past episodes for more illuminating answers to more wonder-filled questions, including:

Why shouldn't we put nuclear waste in a volcano?

What would happen if Jupiter exploded?

The Children's Book Bank in Portland recently received a large book grant from First Book. The 2600+ new children's books (packaged in 115 boxes) awarded to us will be available for pick-up in Auburn, WA on August 13th at 9:00 AM.

Would you or your organization be willing to lend us your 10 ft truck to help us get books into the hands of children who really need them?

We would need the truck on the afternoon of Tuesday, August 12th, as we plan to drive to Auburn the night before pick-up. The truck could be returned late on Wednesday, August 13th or on the morning of August 14th.

The round trip mileage is approximately 300 miles.

Please e-mail me if you have a truck to lend.
