About Our PTA
The Beverly Cleary School Parent Teacher Association is a non profit, volunteer organization made up of parents, teachers, administrators and community members. Our PTA strives to provide a sense of extended community and to support the school, teachers, parents and each individual child. The BCS PTA sponsors classroom projects and community events during the year and has many year-long projects including the PTA Reading Challenge, racial affinity groups, Oregon Battle of the Books, Teacher Appreciation Week, Principal Coffee Talks, a school-wide family directory and this website. The BCS PTA also provides volunteer support for room parents, garden support and special events.
The BCS PTA funds its programs through various school-based activities. This year, due to COVID-19, we have cancelled Spookarama and postponed our Fun Run. Our main fundraisers include year-long merchant programs. Periodically, we may have other fundraising events for specific purposes.
We hope that every parent with children at BCS will join our PTA. Each child benefits from the programs and services of our organization. It is through your memberships, volunteer hours, and overall participation in your student’s education that we achieve success together.
Our Mission
Create a community for BCS students, their families, faculty and staff that is inclusive and that provides opportunity, access and educational support.
Strategies:
- Engage BCS families to encourage sense of community, mutual understanding and cohesion
- Encourage parent volunteerism and promote family participation in BCS activities and school life
- Fundraise to support teachers, staff and community
- Improve our school’s safety for students, teachers and staff
How to Join
Membership is $25 per person and is open to all members of the community. PTA membership needs to be renewed annually.
