Dear Garfield Families,

I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful Oregon weather!

Books and Breakfast

Join us tomorrow for Books and Breakfast! Saturday, March 16, 8:30-11:30. Drop in at any time!

It’s a fun opportunity to get together with other Garfield community members, enjoy some books with your child and enjoy some great food! Students can bring books from home to trade out or just pick up some free books to take home! We hope to see you there.
