CREATING LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

Staff Appreciation

We join our community in recognizing with appreciation the countless contributions and hard work that school staff members - secretaries, custodians, food service, teachers, administrators, and many others - make everyday.

Consider a donation to the Foundation as an Appreciation Gift in honor of a school staff member! They will receive a note of acknowledgement for your generosity.

Tee Up Registration is now open!

Golfers in our annual "Tee Up Fore Schools Tournament" have been key supporters in giving our students the tools to engage and succeed in school. Let’s continue that tradition!

Join us on Friday, July 21 for golfing at Langdon Farms, one of Oregon’s premier golf courses. Catch up with friends and clients, and meet other community members that value public schools and education. Golfers of all skill levels are welcome!

Help make "Art in the Burbs" Happen

Do you enjoy art and believe our schools could always use more art programs for students? We have volunteer opportunities of all shapes and sizes to help make our "Art in the Burbs" show possible. From volunteer coordinator to artist liaison, social media to site manager, we need your gifts and talents to make this fall's art show the best one yet!

Email chair@artintheburbs.org for more information or visit our "Art in the Burbs" website.

We'd love to join with local businesses and business owners in a mutually beneficial partnership. You'll get excellent marketing while also helping schools receive robust arts grants.

Email chair@artintheburbs.org to partner with us today!

Accepting Artist Applications

Our annual "Art in the Burbs" art show and sale features a cross section of high-quality hand-made goods from over 80 juried local artists. Artists donate 20% of their profits to fund Foundation arts grants that support arts education in all 17 district schools. Last year's event raised $35,300!
