Litter Pick This Saturday – Overlook Spring Cleanup Saturday April 13th from 10am-12pm at Beach Elementary!
Leading up to Earth Day, come out on Saturday April 13th from 10am-12pm to help do a little spring cleaning around the neighborhood. We’ll be meeting at the Beach Elementary School Parking Lot, near the field, and will disperse from there. Just like last year, we will have routes for litter picking across Overlook, and this year we’ll also be partnering with the Beach Community Union to help with cleaning and gardening on the school grounds.
This event is being sponsored by SOLVE, as part of this year’s Oregon Spring Cleanup series.  With that comes access to gloves, vests, pickers, bags and more for volunteers.
Click the link below to register. You don’t have to register ahead of time, but we recommend it.

We would love to see you out there for the cleanup, and to sweeten the deal a bit, we will likely have some local businesses offering rewards for participation like last year. Â Come out for the cleanup to learn more. Â Hope you can make it!
Dinner Plans on Monday the 15th?
Head over to Tamale Boy on 668 N Russell St to support Beach Elementary from 11am – 7pm! Be sure to mention Beach School so that a percentage of sales goes to the school!
