Thanks to Our Community For A Better Winter Break
Friday, January 24th, 2025
With full hearts we express our appreciation for the 243 individuals, local business and community leaders who came together to make a difference in the lives of our students and families and helped us deliver the requested number of winter break food gift cards to all 54 of the Beaverton schools.
From long-time supporters to first-time donors, this campaign truly embodied the spirit of community. Every member of the Beaverton City Council and Beaverton School Board made a personal commitment to this effort. The entire board of directors of the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce made a donation. Numerous school PTOs contributed to the campaign, on top of their own fundraising efforts for their individual school communities. The Beaverton Education Association and individuals in BSD Central Administration donated to support students over winter break. Beaverton area auto dealers, the Beaverton Police Department, and leaders in the construction industry all rallied support. In the end, the collective effort meant that our students and families were impacted in a new and impactful way this winter break.
This giving season has reaffirmed that we are never alone in our mission to build a stronger, more compassionate Beaverton community. The needs of our students persist year-round, and this campaign demonstrated that together we can fill the gaps to support Beaverton students.
