MLK Elementary lifejacket distribution event

  • Martin Luther King Jr Elementary School Portland, OR USA (map)

This is a major highlight for the year. We have been invited to deliver 350 lifejackets and safety whistles to every student in this Northeast Portland elementary school, pre-K through 5th grade. Here’s what the principal wrote in her weekly newsletter: I remember in high school, one of my friends lost her younger brother due to an inner-tubing accident where no one was wearing life jackets. Along with many of you, we all know someone, or have maybe even had a close call ourselves, with water danger. Thank you so much to Michelle for organizing the lifejacket distribution yesterday. Even if those jackets don’t get used, the water safety information will help keep kids at our school safe. During our next DREAM assembly, students will hear more from this partner organization, WaterStrong.
