Thank you for the support you give your kids teaching them about all the different places across our globe!

Second Chance Day is Thursday, June 6th. Did your child miss a few countries or cities during some of the check days this year? On June 6th we will be in the lobby for anyone who would like to come improve their scores.

We will have maps in the lobby that day, but you can also access each month’s maps at www.passportclubonline.com/maps.html. Password (case sensitive): HelloWorld

Sam Day 5K

Join us on Saturday, June 29th for the 2nd Annual Sam Day 5K! The 5K run/walk will begin and end at Sunset High School in Cedar Mill, Oregon. As you leave the Sunset High School campus and weave through Sam’s neighborhood, Terra Linda, you’ll be cheered on and encouraged by dozens of spectators, sounds, music and messages along the way. Kids with cancer want to live well and the Sam Day 5K is creating that opportunity and setting the example!

After the race you will enjoy a post run party with music, awards and of course, some treats! The 5K route is on pavement and weaves through closed neighborhood streets and pathways.

The Kids 1K Fun Run will be held entirely on the High School campus.

Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.
