Does your youngster dream of political greatness? They can get a headstart with the City of Tigard's poster/essay/video contest "If I Were Mayor" going on now through May 28th. Check the City's page for the full set of rules and how-to's. Tigard students (including homeschoolers) in grades 4th-12th can enter!
Also, the City is sponsoring a sidewalk art contest to decorate the new Burnham Street/Ash Street sidewalks. Students in 6th-8th can try their hand at creating a design for a concrete stamp depicting either the Western Pond Turtle or the Northern Red-Legged Frog. Check the City's page if you, like me, have no idea what either of those look like (and for more information!).
In a final note, the City has had to make some service and program reductions to support the budget. As of June 1st, the library will open three hours later on Thursday mornings, opening at 1 p.m instead of 10 a.m. Because of this and staff reductions, the Youth Services staff are making some small programming changes. Book Babies, starting in June, will move to Monday mornings at 10:30 a.m. The Monday morning Preschool Story Time will be cancelled, although the Thursday afternoon Preschool Story Time will continue at 1:15 p.m. instead of 1 p.m. Also starting this summer, two Weekend Adventures a month will be offered instead of four. More information will follow with the new program brochure at the end of May and on the library's page of Kids Events.
