Thank you for your continued support of the arts in our schools. You have let me be creative with the kids and my program is flourishing because of it.
Our family wanted to create a scholarship that recognizes community service and volunteerism, but we didn’t know where to start. Thanks to the Education Foundation, we’re now supporting amazing students every year as they strive to improve the world around them.
The continuing education scholarship helped me complete my degree while working full-time. I'm now the first college graduate in my family.

2nd Grade Visists Oregon Zoo
The best part about taking Parkdale kids to Portland and the zoo is that for SO many students it's their first time seeing the city and going to the zoo. It is a trip that they talk about years later. … It's a great opportunity for students to learn about habitat, conservation, and up close learning with amazing animals.
