The Bonny Slope Community Outreach committee is designed to excite, encourage and equip our young people to give back to the community – both locally and globally! Volunteer opportunities will range from on-going commitments to hour-long time slots to support a project.
Clothes Closet
The Clothes Closet serves identified families in need with the opportunity to select free clothing items. Bonny Slope is responsible for providing volunteers to staff the Clothes Closet on Wednesday, September 16. The Clothes Closet is located by the administration offices on Merlo Road. Volunteers either work in the “store” helping clients select clothing, or in the workroom sorting and hanging clothing.
Kids Care Club (after school enrichment class)
The Bonny Slope Kids Care Club offers an after-school class that is free of charge for students as part of the enrichment class offering. Each “class” will focus on a different charitable organization and project. Children will be educated on the charity and empowered to make a difference through hands-on service projects that support the organization. We will need volunteers to “lead” different projects.
Project Warm-Up
Tualatin Hills United Soccer Club and local schools collect gently used clothing and household items for families in need within the Beaverton school district. This charity was started by our very own first grade teacher, Mrs. Acosta, and has served over 2900 people in the last 7 years. We will need assistance collecting and sorting donations at Bonny Slope, as well as, working the event in November.
Sister School
Bonny Slope wants to identify a sister school located in a developing country. Ideally we will partner with the BSE staff to work teachings into the curriculum where appropriate. The purpose of this program will be to increase awareness of global issues, and raise funds for development projects overseas – we want to open minds and inspire our youth to find solutions to global challenges.
