    River Grove memorial pavers

    Attention families who purchased memorial pavers originally installed in the walkway outside the old River Grove building. You can now pick up your pavers and bring them home to enjoy in your yard. Contact Diana Kessler at diana.kessler@turntown.com in the LOSD Bond Office to retrieve your paver before March 29. Let’s ensure these tributes find their permanent place.

    If I Were Mayor contest submissions

    In partnership with the Oregon Mayors Association, Mayor Joe Buck is excited to announce the “If I Were Mayor...” contest for Lake Oswego students in grades 4-12. This contest encourages students to share their creative and inspiring ideas about what they would do as a mayor.

    The submission deadline is March 15, 2024, and you can find more information on the city of Lake Oswego website. The contest will have three categories: Posters (grades 4-5), Essays (grades 6-8), and Digital Media Presentations (grades 9-12).

    For each category, a first-, second-, and third-place winner will be selected. First-place winners from Lake Oswego in each category will receive a gift card worth $150 to a local business. Second-place winners will receive $100, and third-place winners will receive $50.

    This spring, winners will also be recognized at a joint Lake Oswego City Council and school district meeting. The three local winning entries will then be submitted to the statewide competition to win a grand prize of $500. The awards ceremony will occur during the OMA Annual Summer Conference at Running Y Ranch in Klamath Falls. A Lake Oswego student won the statewide contest last year.

    If you have any questions, contact Kim Vermillion at the city manager’s office at 503-675-3984.
