Ardenwald Elementary School

Today our students celebrated El Camino de Dolores (Dolores's Path)!

El Camino de Dolores is a walk and roll to school day where students and their families are able to celebrate Dolores Huerta’s dedication to social justice by walking to school.

It was a fun-filled Friday morning assembly full of music, singing, and clapping to the beat! A huge thank you to Andee Joyce from Rhythm and Autism for performing for our students.

Highlights of our final Bike Bus of the fall...we'll kick up the kickstands once again this spring! Huge thanks to Ardenwald PTO, Milwaukie Police, and Clackamas County, Oregon Safe Routes To School!

Sure, there are plenty of big yellow school buses that cruise through Ardenwald Elementary School's neighborhoods each morning…but how about a “Bike Bus?” Thanks to a partnership between the Ardenwald PTO and Milwaukie Police Department, this is the third pedal parade this fall allowing a huge group of Ardenwald students and families to safely bike to school. Big thanks to MPD for keeping our kids safe, and supplying the video footage! #ProudToBeNCSD

🚴 All aboard the Bike Bus! Students and their families rolled up to campus as a group this morning, along with some friends from the Milwaukie Police Department who joined in on the fun.

A big thank you to our PTO and parent volunteers helped organize the event and set up the route. There will be one more bike bus on October 17, before pausing until the Spring! 🚴

Ms. Sheible and Ms. Kerr's kindergarten classes had some new All-Stars join them this morning! Any first-day jitters were hard to notice as the students got right to it, filling their cubbies, coloring, tracing numbers, and making new friends.

New kindie parents were also welcomed to the Ardenwald community with a meet-and-greet hosted by Principal Hardy.
