Tickets are available online here as well as at the door before each performance.

School lunch offers a Chop Spot Station with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables every day.

To help promote choosing fruits and vegetables try these helpful tips at home:

Eat together. Let your child see you enjoying fruits and vegetables at meals and snacks.

Prepare together. Teach your child how to tear lettuce, add vegetable toppings to pizza, make blueberry pancakes, or banana in a blanket.

Make fruits and vegetables fun. Read about them in books. Plant a seed and watch it grow.

Share the adventure. Shop for fruits and vegetables together. Try a new one each week.

Make a rainbow. Encourage your child to try fruits and vegetables of all different colors. There are fruits and vegetables for every color of the rainbow.

The City of Lake Oswego has a program called "Youth Members on Advisory Boards." The City Council will be appointing one youth member to five advisory boards, including the Historic Resources Advisory Board, Library Advisory Board, Sustainability Advisory Board, Transportation Advisory Board, and Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources Advisory Board.

Positions are available to current Sophomores and Juniors who reside within the city limits of Lake Oswego. Terms of service are from July 2019 to June 30, 2020.

Interested students should submit an application and a letter of recommendation from a faculty member from their school.

Applications can be submitted from April 1 through May 31 on the city website, under Boards and Commissions.

Interviews will be held on Saturday, June 8, with appointments made on July 2.

The District is pleased to report it received an unqualified opinion on an "agreed upon procedures" audit examination of bond fund disbursements for the 6 month period that ended on September 30, 2018. A copy of our independent auditor's report can be accessed using the following link: https://www.losdschools.org/site/default.aspx?PageType=3&DomainID=1587&ModuleInstanceID=13491&ViewID=6446EE88-D30C-497E-9316-3F8874B3E108&RenderLoc=0&FlexDataID=22389&PageID=2198

While there is no legal or contractual requirement for this agreed upon procedures examination of bond fund spending, and the District's financial report is audited annually at the conclusion of each June 30 fiscal year end, this additional examination is being undertaken every 6 months as part of the District's efforts to ensure accountability and that bond funds are spent on approved projects that are in compliance with District and state purchasing regulations.

Registration is now open for bus transportation for the 2019-20 school year.

Please complete the registration form with as much detail as possible. This will help us create our routing schedule for the 2019-20 school year. Call the Transportation Department at 503-387-5078 with questions. Please note that this request does not guarantee transportation.

This year, the focus for Earth Day is Protect Our Species, and one of those species is bees.

Plants need bees to pollinate, and a honeybee can visit 50 to 100 plants in one trip!

So, one way to make a positive impact is by planting seeds. Any flowering plant, including fruits and vegetables, gives bees a place to be.

Fresh fruits and vegetables are served every day for lunch on our salad bars.

Check out this month's menu here.
