"I voted for it because I feel like kids' education is one of the most important things there is," said PPS parent Susannah Daniel.

HILLSBORO, Ore. — For as long as they can remember, twin brothers John and Ethan Sommers have loved swimming. The 16-year-olds have been competing with the Hillsboro Heat club team since they were 6. "I fell in love with this sport, with the training every day," said John Sommers. While swimming is such a big part of their lives, the Sommers brothers know that many kids don't know how to swim and that for some families, swimming lessons aren't in the budget.

WILSONVILLE, Ore. — True Williams figures it took her about 16 hours to create a sculpture of a human heart made of clay and cigarette butts that she picked off the ground at a concert. She didn't mind the effort, so long as her art inspired people to not smoke, a habit she said led to the deaths of her grandparents. "It's kind of like a (public service announcement) to people," said Williams, 17.
