Three items:

1. Hammond removal graffiti project - May 30

2. Photos: Gubser students sing for May; and a bit of "Gubser Idol" at Iris Festival

3. Sports Physical Night - August 19

On Saturday, May 30th (10 a.m.) the entire community will be working together to paint the exterior fences along Kale and Bayne Street, as well as clean up the general area. We are working with the City of Salem Police Department, Marion County Sheriff's Department, and the City of Salem Graffiti Abatement Program to make this a success. We want anyone and everyone in the community to be a part of this project, to send a positive message about our neighborhood.

If you would like to volunteer, donate supplies, or help in any way, please contact Hammond School.
