Read about the first school-wide volunteer event at Albany Options Schools in the Democrat-Herald, and in the following story published by school staff.

On Thursday, March 23, Albany Options School had its first AOS Day of Service. All of the students in the Innovative High School (IHS) Program participated in one of four
projects out in the community including planting native trees at LBCC, building a garden at South Shore Elementary School, and volunteering at Safe Haven Humane Society and Albany Carousel and Museum.

This event was inspired by AOS because has always been committed to providing the students with as many hands-on, Service Learning, and community involvement opportunities as possible. In addition, AOS is always being flooded with support from the local Albany community. The school wanted to demonstrate their appreciation to the community by giving back for a day.

This was a huge effort and took the involvement of many behind the scenes, including donors and partners. A special thanks to Ocean Blue Project, Parr Lumber, Pro Bark, McDonald’s, Republic Services, South Shore Elementary School, Linn-Benton Community College, Safe Haven Humane Society, and the Albany Carousel and Museum.

If the bond is approved, all schools are scheduled for improvements. See the list for your neighborhood school:
