Check out the Alpine Lakes collaborative collage mural created by our 3rd- and 5th-grade classes under the tutelage of Amber Zimmerman! The mural is inspired by Oregon artist Jennifer Lake Miller’s folk art painting of Leavenworth. The mural features schools, a ball field, a business district, wildlife, and neighborhoods. It is also interactive—one student added a “Find Waldo” element—and yes, Bigfoot makes an appearance as well. While the mural isn’t geographically accurate, it captures the heart of Leavenworth beautifully!
CSD just learned that the Chumstick has a 3+ mile closure starting this morning and lasting for at least the next 3 days. Routes 1,2,3 and 12 will likely be running 10-30 minutes late this morning.
