“Sco Ducks!”

After our visit we grabbed lunch at PNW Market. Shout out to their staff who took the time to stop by and ask us where we were from and if the food and service was satisfactory. Little moments like this make these trips so much more memorable. @uoregon

You can support a Willamette Academy student this year, by choosing to make a gift. Incredible, generous, heart-warming - that's all we think when we find out about a gift to a student - we hope you'll be a part of that today.
