A tragic fire Tuesday at the historic Marysville Elementary in Southeast Portland has left 435 students without a school. You can help them by volunteering Saturday to prepare Rose City Park School as their new school. Marysville students will be transferred to Rose City Park Monday. The work party takes place from 8 am to noon Saturday at Rose City Park. Volunteers will help district officials by cleaning, moving furniture and otherwise sprucing up Rose City park School. Portland School District closed Rose City Park two years ago.

This project is open to volunteers of all ages. Anyone under 16 years old must attend with an adult guardian.

Volunteers must sign up to take part in Saturday’s project.

If you cannot attend Saturday’s project and would like to help Marysville students in another way, please contact Andre Jackson at 503-916-3078.
