In partnership with and , the Willamette Heritage Center will host a community history walk through downtown Salem on the Juneteenth holiday that will bring to life the stories of longtime Salem residents Albert and Mary Ann Bayless and their family and friends.

Safe Routes to School is comprised of six E’s: Engagement, Engineering, Education, Equity, Encouragement, and Evaluation. It is my pleasure to grow the Salem-Keizer Safe Routes to School program through engagement within our community. Engagement is, “connecting directly with students, parents, teachers, and community members to hear their needs and to work together on designing programs that will authentically benefit their schools and build connections with local resources.”

Safe Routes to School will welcome Salem Police Department as we walk to school with Washington Elementary School and Community Members.

Entries to our third annual Safe Routes to School art contest are due today by 5 p.m. All K–5 students at Salem-Keizer Public Schools are eligible to participate. Visit our 2023 Art Contest page for rules and guidelines.
