Shoes are hard to recycle… they have a lot going on! Rubber, plastic, fabric… it’s A LOT! Our sweet friends at helped us collect athletic shoes that will be sent to Got Sneakers to be properly recycled and given a second life!

Did you miss the chance to donate your shoes last week? No stress! has offered to collect used athletic shoes for us to recycle! Drop off anytime at the downtown location and our amazing volunteers will swoop them up and ship them out!

As a reminder, recycling is never the solution, rather the LAST step after you’ve reused, repaired, and tried your best to make anything last ✨

Check out every Tuesday at 6pm for a sweet crew of folks who love running!

Not an iPad in sight! Our youth educators love getting outside and sharing the magic of Central Oregon with your kiddos 🌱🌎

Our 4th graders learn about geology, local plants, volcanic history, and always keep an eye out for wildlife!

3rd graders work on their inquiry skills! What do they notice and wonder about? What makes them curious about the natural world?
