WILSON STUDENTS KEEP BLOCK PRINTING ART ALIVE THANKS TO CHARLES F SURENDORF II ART FOUNDATION Marie Pearson, Wilson Art Teacher is thrilled to announce that Cindy Surendorf is doing a two-week block printing workshop in the Draw-Paint-Print classes at Wilson. Cindy is the Executive Director of the Charles F Surendorf II Art Foundation. Her father is Charles Surendorf, a WPA artist during the Great Depression and was among the top block print artists of the 20th century. Cindy uses her father's work to discuss societal issues (such as racism, poverty, and heath) that were present during the Great Depression and how many of these problems are still present today. Students choose a contemporary problem and create a block print that presents a solution. Her foundation provides all of the supplies for the workshop. There is no cost to the school. The workshop is scheduled for October 1 through October15 for the four sections of Draw-Paint-Print. Here is a link to the Charles F Surendorf II Art Foundation website: http://www.surendorf2artfoundation.org/. Thank you Ms. Surendorf!

IS YOUR SCHOOL UP TO THE CHALLENGE? The City of Portlandʼs Future Connect Challenge is raising the stakes with a prize for school that has the highest participation rate. Beginning October 5, Portland high school students will have a chance to get a head start on planning for college – and show off their school spirit at the same time. By participating in the Future Connect Challenge, students help their school win. The school with the highest participation rate will win an after school Movie and Pizza Party! All students who participated in the Challenge will watch a movie and be treated to pizza, courtesy of Dominos Pizza on NE Glisan and 69th Ave. Teachers and staff can help by encouraging students to complete each step, announcing the Challenge in assemblies and in class, or offering incentives like extra credit–whatever you know works to get your students motivated! The high school with the highest Future Connect Challenge participation rate will be awarded a pizza/movie party provided by the City of Portlandʼs Future Connect Initiative. Contest Rules and Details: (a) The winning school will be decided by averaging the participation rate from each week. (b) The participation rate is determined by dividing the amount of students who participate in each weekʼs steps by the total number of students who are enrolled into the school. (c) The average will be calculated by adding each weekly participation rate and dividing the total by the number of weeks the competition occurred. (d) Schools will have until winter break to redeem their party. (f) Schools will provide the space and will be responsible for encouraging students who participated to attend afterschool pizza/movie party. Future Connect will provide the pizza/movie supplies.
