• What is the Buckman 基金会?

    The Buckman 基金会 is a parent volunteer-led organization that operates under the umbrella of the nonprofit 有趣的d for Portland Public Schools. Money raised through the Buckman 基金会 provides funds to fill the gap between the annual Portland Public Schools (PPS) budget and the funds needed to ensure Buckman is a welcoming and supportive place where all students learn, 成长, and express themselves to their fullest potential. 

    Buckman doesn’t receive any additional funding from the district to support our unique arts curriculum. 而, it’s thanks to the hard work of parent volunteers and the incredible generosity of 家庭, 企业, 老师, and community members who volunteer and donate to the Buckman 基金会 that we’ve been able to preserve Buckman’s arts team, keep the library fully staffed, and add staff to provide more support for individual students.

    参加活动
    有趣的, community-building events hosted by the Buckman 基金会 help raise critical funding for the school. Join us for monthly Dines Out, Bowl-A-Ween, and our annual 拍卖.

    Specifics on dates and times for Buckman events are listed Konstella and on the Buckman Elementary calendar. Save the date for these upcoming 基金会 events in the 2019-2020 school year:

    • 巴克曼外出就餐. Once a month, we partner with a local restaurant that donates a portion of their sales to Buckman. It’s a chance for 父母 to skip the cooking and for 家庭 to have a fun night out. The checks add up; Dines Out events raised $4,000 for Buckman last year!
    • 贝拉有机玉米迷宫. Purchase your corn maze tickets from us and Bella Organics will donate 50% of sales to Buckman! Tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for kids. The more tickets we sell, the more funds for arts and literacy at Buckman. Gather your friends, 家庭, and neighbors and make a day of it!
    • Bowl-A-Ween. 10月27日. Kids, 父母, and 老师 dress up in costumes and meet up to bowl at Grand Central Bowl. 100% of admission goes to the Buckman 基金会.
    • 与拍卖. 5月2日. The biggest Buckman 基金会 event of the year, the auction brings 父母 and 老师 out to celebrate Buckman while bidding on classroom art projects and items contributed by 父母 and local 企业.
    • 直接捐赠. Our annual direct ask campaign takes place during the month of December, but you can make a gift or set up a recurring gift anytime.
