While César Chávez School is a part of Portland Public Schools (PPS) and is funded by tax dollars, there are some valuable and worthwhile programs that are not in our school’s budget and in order to have them at César Chávez, we must raise the money to pay for them.
The PTA supports community building events such as monthly Movie Nights, Game Nights, new family meet-ups and monthly parent coffees. Other items that are in César Chávez PTA’s budget include student support such as Kindergarten and 8th-grade promotions, school dances, field day, and Oregon Battle of the Books. The PTA also supports teachers through grants to teachers.
