West Portal Elementary School

Support West Portal School

What makes us so special?  We have talented and dedicated teachers and staff, wonderful children, and involved parents.  West Portal’s excellence also springs from the extensive educational enrichment programs funded by the Parents Club.

What We Support

The West Portal Parents Club provides music instruction, physical education, perceptual motor classes, library services, and environmental and outdoor science instruction.  In addition to these amazing school-wide programs, the Parents Club provides the funding for our award-winning Chinese Performing Arts Program, the incredible Spring Musical, the inspirational S.F. Opera program, fun community-building events, school and office supplies, field trip transportation, playground equipment, and much, much more.

What We Need

For the 2011-12 school year, the West Portal Parents Club has a goal to raise $178,750. We must have the support and commitment from every family to meet our goal.  We will focus on 3 main fundraisers this year – the Education Fund, our annual Read-a-thon and the Spring Arts Festival and Auction. The remainder of fundraising should come from our Merchant Programs (eScrip, SHARES, Sports Basement, Box Tops).
