Principal Angela Bacon says: Good Morning. My name is Angela Bacon and I am the principal at Toledo Elementary School in Toledo, WA. Toledo Elementary was designated a Priority School in 2013 and just 3 years later we have been recognized as being a School of Distinction, Washington State Recycling Association Public School Recycler of the Year, and now most recently we received a Washington Achievement Award for Closing the Achievement Gap for low income students. We are planning a celebration assembly for May 15th @ 10:30 AM in the Toledo Elementary School Gymnasium.
I recognize the responsibilities of the work you have before you, but we would love it is you could join us in celebrating our recent successes.
Thank You, Angela Bacon

Toledo Lioness Club says: Thank you to all who donated to white cane (last week @ Toledo Market Fresh). All your contribution goes to helping the blind.

Common Ground Toledo says: Thank you, Mayor Steve Dobosh for helping CGT with this project. And thank you to the many volunteers who came out to help. The project to improve the soil for the struggling trees in downtown Toledo was a success!
We ended up transplanting two of the Redbuds trees to the Kemp Olson Memorial Park as they were showing signs of stress. Getting their roots down in good soil at the park will help them recover. The two now open large round planters will receive new plantings. All five planters along Cowlitz Street are designed with structural plantings, colorful foliage and flowers to tempt all the seasons.
CGT is always working on the garden philosophy: "right plant - right place." For water wise and sturdy yet beautiful garden displays.
Watch the planters come alive in the next few weeks.
