Welcome to the Sauvie Island School Parent Teacher Club
The Sauvie Island School Parent Teacher Club (PTC) is a volunteer-led, nonprofit fundraising organization committed to raising funds to support essential enrichment programs and more for Sauvie Island School. Our mission is to provide opportunities and experiences for Sauvie Island School students that encourage them to grow a love of learning, a desire to protect the land and its resources, and a willingness to participate in their community.
Sauvie Island School is a local public charter school dedicated to providing students a unique and enriching educational experience through place-based learning.
As a Public Charter School, their state funding is more than 20% less than that of a traditional public school. Sauvie Island School frugally attempts to do more with less every year. The PTC works hard to raise the money needed to help bridge the gap in funding.
PTC fundraising pays for:
- Art and Music Education allows our students to explore their creative talents and express themselves through artistic mediums.
- Place-Based Field Trips Hands-on Learning! We regularly take our students on field trips to connect classroom concepts with real-world experiences.
- Professional Development providing ongoing training and development opportunities for our teachers and staff, ensuring that they can provide the best possible education for our students.
- Supports STEAM education bringing access to technology, hands-on science, and books in both the classroom and library.
- Funds Community Garden which provides hands on learning and understanding of natural food sources.
- Individual Teacher Classroom Fund which minimizes teacher personal funds spent on school supplies.
The PTC is always looking for more dedicated volunteers to share ideas, get involved, and assist with the workload. We have a lot of goals for supporting Sauvie Island School and more hands makes lighter work! All of us have something to offer in the way of support, and there are so many ways you can help Sauvie Island School with the PTC!
