Grout Garden Work Party: And speaking of cleanups…save the date for Saturday, November 7th. - Grow Portland and the Grout Garden Club are hosting a garden work day from 10-noon  Tools will be provided but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gloves and clippers if possible. This is a kid friendly garden work party and students are invited to attend. 

Community Grants: Do you have a project idea to improve Grout Elementary? The PTA may have funds available to make your dreams a reality! Learn more about our Community Grants program and view the application here. Grant proposals due by November 6, 2026. PTA members will vote to approve proposals at the November 19 General PTA meeting.

Garden Volunteers: Did you know our beautiful school garden is also a classroom? Students visit the garden once a month, usually on a Wednesday, and learn from our Grow Portland garden educator. We're hoping to find a few more volunteers to support this program.You do not need to commit to coming every month -- whenever you have availability is great! You must complete your PPS background check before joining the garden classroom. Please reach out to Sophia Smith- Garden Educator, sophia@growportland.org for more information. Curious about your student’s garden schedule? Visit Konstella and view their classroom calendar or look for the flyer that came home last week.
