Moving Forward Together

The power of community

Carole Smith PPS Superintendent November 16, 2009: From the start of the Marysville fire last Tuesday to the resumption of classes Monday in the transformed Rose City Park School, I have felt touched, inspired and renewed by the power of our community. 

I know the tragedy of the fire and the transformation of Rose City Park won’t soon be forgotten, and I believe that there are lessons in this experience that can pull us more tightly together going forward. [ More ]
