The Beaverton Education Foundation is excited to announce summer and after school learning awards of $177,000 that will reach an estimated 3,500 students this summer and during the 2024-2025 school year.
Kids Count grants provide important and engaging opportunities for students at all levels throughout our Beaverton Schools. Only through the support of our donor community are these funds available to reinvest in improving and diversifying student learning.
- Returning this summer, three student favorites: Summer Middle School Band Camp, Middle School Trade Explorations and Summer Boost. New this year, funding to expand and improve:
- Return of Science Fairs (after 15 years) at Mountain View and Five Oaks
- Health Careers Education at BASE
- Real-world business skills for special education students at Aloha High School by launching a start-up coffee cart that will be open to all AHS students
- Access to art, diversity, and reading at Ridgewood Elementary when students participate in a student-designed and informed mural
- After-school reading and math enrichment programs for at-risk students at Montclair and Raleigh Hills
In response to the 2024-2025 school schedule change, the BEF Board voted to approve an additional round of funding, available in August 2024, for new requests focused on addressing impacts from school schedules that meet student educational needs.
