Every once in a while, one of our students takes a photo that blows us away. This was taken at a SUN School class during one of those freak Portland hail storms.

“I had a dream about Family Matters”

group 540x531 I had a dream about Family Matters

Last week was exciting and busy. We held a great spring break camp at New Columbia in North Portland. The Regence Boys and Girls Club hosted us (thanks you guys!). Eleven girls imagined their futures, shared their dreams and tried to keep out of the rain. It was a good time. On Wednesday, Alex and I were surrounded by doctors, lawyers and fashion designers to be. Our students’ enthusiasm is contagious, and their photos are inspiring. I love my job.
