When Beckham Weatherby picks up his tuba, the rest of the world falls away. 

“I don’t get that nervous and I don’t get stage fright at all,” he said. “I guess I got lucky with how my body reacts to performing in front of crowds.”

Which is something the McDaniel High School junior has done quite a bit of lately. Not only is he a member of the prestigious Portland Youth Philharmonic (PYP) and the PYP conservatory orchestra, but he recently earned first prize in the tuba solo performance category at the Oregon State Solo Music Championships.

The first things you notice when you walk into Ellie 詹森’s classroom at 博伊西-艾略特/洪堡小学 are peace and warmth. 然后你听到孩子们的笑声. Then you just might see two posters hanging on the walls that tell you a great deal about the kind of 老师 she has been for the past 50 years. The posters simply say, “Leave a little sparkle w在这里ver you go” and “Be a friend.”

詹森, known as “Miss Ellie” to the hundreds of students she has taught in her half a century as a Portland Public Schools educator, 忍不住要点亮房间. 她是所有孩子的朋友. 

We dare you to drive by the Mainspring Food Pantry on the corner of 82nd Avenue and Fremont and not do a double take. 或者三拍. 

Students from McDaniel High School’s art-focused Career Technical Education (CTE) class have spent the last four weeks turning the exterior walls of the pantry into one, 巨大的, joyful mural as part of the course’s exploration of climate justice and community engagement.

A little over 30 years ago, a Madison High School student named Joseph Janson had a simple wish. 他想去参加舞会. 但对约瑟来说，没有什么是简单的, who was born with Duchenne's Muscular Dystrophy and was confined to a wheelchair. 

他向托尼·尼兹吐露了他的愿望, who at that time was an educational assistant at Madison (now Leodis V. 麦克丹尼尔高中). Tony had been working one-on-one with Joseph for months and he immediately went about making the young man’s dream come true.

“The truth is, I would have done anything for Joseph,” Nitz said. “He was a unique person, and we had a very special bond.”
