King School to Receive Grants

s_King%20picThe King PTA was awarded two grants so far this year. A grant from the Bureau of Planning and Sustainability for reusable flatware to replace the district standard disposable flatware is intended as a first step to make King a model of sustainability that reflects the values of the community.

The Portland Schools Foundation fully funded the PTA’s request for outreach and involvement for $7530. This money, combined with $1443 raised last year will fund a reader board sign at the school, Spanish translation, dinner, and childcare at meetings and flyers for door-to-door canvassing to connect the community to the school and increase parent involvement. To learn how you can get involved with the King PTA contact info@kingpta.org or come to the booth at the Good in the NeighborHood festival Saturday June 27th, Noon to 5pm at King School Park.
