Support PVS
There are many ways that you can help support Portland Village School!
Volunteerism is the cornerstone of Waldorf and charter school education and the higher our family engagement, the stronger our community and school becomes. While volunteering is fundamental to the success of our school and your child’s education, PVS must also stay financially viable. Therefore, fundraising is a crucial to our schools ability to help students thrive!
Oregon Public Charter Schools receive 48 cents for every 1 state dollar that district run schools receive - see ORC3S study. In addition to the lower public funds Portland Village School receives, we are responsible for expenses neighborhood schools are not, such as our building mortgage (bond) payments, maintenance, instructional materials, and more. We must work together as a community to reach our annual fundraising goals so that the children in our Portland Village are able to experience the joyous, child centered, Waldorf inspired education they deserve.
