A century and a quarter in Sellwood and Westmoreland can be traced by following one family
Westmoreland in the 1950s and 1960s found young people spending their Saturday afternoons at the Moreland Theater, while mom and dad played cards with their next-door neighbors, and when teenagers went dancing in sock hops at the local high school. And everyone went to church on Sunday.
For a ten-year-old girl like Marcia Singer, that was a time to appreciate the burst of colorful flowers and wonderful smells that came from Crantford s Flower Shop on the corner of S.E. Milwaukie Avenue and Bybee Boulevard…a time to ride bikes with neighborhood girlfriends to summer concerts at Sellwood Park…and to rise early in the morning for ballet and tap dance classes at the Sellwood Community Center at Spokane and S.E. 15th.
Noozhawk.com delivers local breaking news, local sports, schools, nonprofits, obituaries, business, arts and entertainment, calendar, local opinions and more.
Welcome to Noozhawk Asks, a new feature in which you ask the questions, you help decide what Noozhawk investigates, and you work with us to find the answers.
Here’s how it works: You share your questions with us in the nearby box. In some cases, we may work with you to find the answers. In others, we may ask you to vote on your top choices to help us narrow the scope. And we’ll be regularly asking you for your feedback on a specific issue or topic.
We also expect to work together with the reader who asked the winning questions to find the answer together. Noozhawk’s objective is to come at questions from a place of curiosity and openness, and we believe a transparent collaboration is the key to achieve it.
If a family chooses to pivot their pre-K through second grade student to the hybrid learning model, he or she will have two days per week of in-person instruction and three days per week of online learning.
The new schedule would take effect the week of April 5 after all pre-K through second grade students who are already enrolled in the hybrid learning model have successfully begun some in-person instruction.
If a family does not respond to the survey, their student will continue with all-remote learning. Families are also permitted to remain all-virtual or revert back to online-only instruction after originally choosing to partake in the hybrid learning model.
