Ever year, Capitol Hill Elementary runs a giving program, to share cheer with our fellow students and their families. Beginning Monday, November 18th, there will be a display outside of the front office with wish tags. These are wishes from our school friends!

• Select a tag
• Purchase the desired gift
• Tape the tag to the unwrapped item
• Drop it in the donation box at school before December 9th 
• Melissa and the CHE team will ensure the gift makes it into the hands of the receiving family 

Do you have a friend or family member who loves a giving tree? They're welcome to donate as well! This is such a fun way to lovingly show up for our community and ensure that every family experiences the magic of the season. 

Keep an eye out for future communication from the administrative team, as there will be more opportunities to donate household items, goods, and food to community members in need! 

Questions? Contact Melissa Light in the front office at mlight@pps.net. 

Monday, November 25th is our second Dining Out Night of the year. Yalla in Multnomah Village has generously offered to donate 10% of the night's sales to Capitol Hill! That includes dining in, takeout (which will be limited), and gift card sales. Make a reservation now to enjoy a delicious night of no cooking with your friends and family!

4:00pm - 9:00pm 
7850 SW Capitol Hwy, Portland, OR 97219

Volunteer Coordinator - PTA Board

Have you been interested in joining the PTA? Our board has an open position for a Volunteer Coordinator. This role is responsible for rounding up awesome parents/caretakers and plugging them into volunteer openings! It's a good fit for an organized person who is a clear communicator, and can mostly be done outside of working hours. The best part? You get to work with Tabitha Ames - which means it's going to be an easy plug-and-play gig without a huge learning curve. Email volunteer@capitolhillelementary.com if you are interested or have questions.

Capitol Hill Auction

Every year, some of the most popular items at the CH auction are the grade-level art pieces. We are looking for creative adults to work with grades 1, 4, and 5 on their pieces. You come up with the concept (example pictured to the left), then partner with the teachers to come into the classroom and get the kids to do the dirty work! Click here to sign up. 

Not feeling creative? We still have a job for you. Sign up to assist with donation procurement - it's as simple as filling out donation request forms on company websites - we provide you the info, you copy and paste while you watch The Bear after the kids have gone to bed! Yes chef!
