Keizertimes Newsletter

Good morning, Keizer.

Summer-like weather will continue over the next few days as we look forward to Memorial Day weekend.

Students are eagerly waiting for summer to begin as members of the Class of 2023 prepare for graduation in June. 

The city will be rooting as Kiele Jarnagin becomes the second  Keizer woman to compete in the national Distinguished Young Women program in Mobile, Ala. in June. It has been 21 years since Keizer’s Amy Kerr brought the national title home.

Here are some of our latest reports. You can find more on our website.

If you have a news tip, contact the Keizertimes at 503-390-1051.

Have great weekend…
