The Portland Police Bureau and Bureau of Transportation are partnering to keep Portland’s students
safe as they return to school this week.
Back to School Safety Urged
Portland Public School students are scheduled to
go back to school on Wednesday this week while
other local school districts, as well as private and
charter schools, have already or will begin classes
during the next two weeks.
To ensure student safety and increase awareness
of the start of the school year, the Portland Police
Bureau will be conducting high visibility patrols
around all schools as part of its annual “Back to
Hugo Gonzalez
Venegas
Moninque Clayton
School” safety campaign.
Officers, including Photo Radar Units, will be
enforcing traffic laws in these zones to reduce the
number of crashes in school zones and to create a
safe environment for students returning to school.
There will be emphasis placed on traffic safety and
traffic education during the morning hours when
students arrive at their schools and in the afternoon
hours when the schools dismiss their students.

Good in the Hood Scholars
Multicultural fest
supports college dreams
Five local scholarship winners were announced
last week from donations received through the annu-
al nonprofit Good in the Hood multicultural festival
that promotes unity in the community.
Each student will receive $1,000 toward their ac-
ademic studies. A ceremony to present the awards,
sponsored by Jordan Wing Initiative, will be held
Friday, Sept. 8 at Legacy Emanuel Hospital’s Loren-
zen Conference Center Auditorium, 2801 N. Gan-
tenbein Ave.
The honorees are Hugo Gonzalez Venegas, Mon-
inque Clayton, Enoch Fleming, Alisha Carter and
Elona Wilson.
Venegas is a third year student at Lewis & Clark
Law School who immigrated to the U.S. with his
undocumented family in search of a better life when
he was just 5 years old. He hopes to become a social
justice attorney.
Clayton is a 31-year-old mother who returned to
school to achieve her dream of becoming a nurse
practitioner. She is enrolled at Portland Community
College and plans to pursue a bachelor’s degree.
Fleming was born in northeast Portland to a fami-
ly of 11 brothers and sisters. His dream is to become
a plastic surgeon and he is studying pre-medicine at
Portland State University while working on a bach-
elor’s degree in biology.
Carter is an aspiring educator with a passion for
promoting community growth as an active change
agent. Pursuing her dream in education is a way to
uplift, encourage and give back to those she encoun-
ters.
Wilson made it out of a cycle of addition that
trapped her biological mother and members of her
family for generations to become a student at Pacific
University. She will graduate with a degree in early
education and plans to pursue a master’s degree in
business administration.
