Stories

As part of Sips, Sweets, and Stories celebration, students from Make it Happen- Portland Public Schools’ academic readiness program for multilingual students- will take the stage to share their stories. Through moving stories, poems, and reflections, they’ll offer meaningful firsthand accounts of their journeys, challenges, and aspirations for the future. These performances are more than just heartfelt- they’re a testament to the confidence, leadership, and strength these pupils have cultivated through Make it Happen. Listen to some of our Make It Happen students participating in Sips, Sweets, and Stories below to see the deep impact the program has had on them.
