Weed and Feed Party for FLIP on Saturday, April 17, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. until Noon


FLIP (Franklin Lanscape Improvment Project) kicks off this year's work with a Weed and Feed Party on Saturday, April 17, 2010 from 9:00 a.m. to 12 Noon. They will work on the Woodward Street entrance, sprucing up the courtyard and preparing the Alumni Cherry Grove for pathways and planting in May. Students, families, alumni, teachers, staff, friends and neighbors are all welcome. Bring gloves, something to kneel on and a rake if you have one. For more information please email lisabudjohn@mac.com.

FLIP also received a grant from Southeast Uplift and the City of Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement's Neighborhood Small Grants Program to continue their hard work on improving the landscape around Franklin.

A very big thank you to FLIP from the Alumni Association for their continued efforts to make Franklin High School shine.
