CPMS to Power Beaverton Clothes Closet on Wed, 10/30

Each year, CPMS is assigned one Wednesday to manage and run the Beaverton Clothes Closet. This is a unique and gratifying experience to give back and serve our community.  This fall, Cedar Park will be operating the Clothes Closet on Wed., 10/30.  We need 4-5 people per shift to properly staff the store. Shift times are as follows: 

• 9:15-11:15 am

• 11:15-1:15 pm

• 1:15-3:15 pm

• 3:15-4:30pm

Sign up here to volunteer at the Clothes Closet.

The Beaverton Clothes Closet is a volunteer service organization that provides new and gently used clothing to BSD students (K-12). Beaverton School District parent groups and community volunteers staff the Clothes Closet every Wednesday throughout the year. Students can find necessities like jeans, shoes, t-shirts, sweatshirts, warm coats, new socks and underwear.  More info regarding this valuable BSD program can be found here.

When volunteering, community members assist families with their shopping needs and restock the store.  If ample support is available, some volunteers may also help in the donation sorting room.

The Clothes Closet is located at the Beaverton School District Administration Center, 16550 SW Merlo Road, Beaverton, OR 97006. 

Huge thanks to Cedar Park’s Clothes Closet coordinator, Dana Stark!

FIVE THINGS TO KNOW about the CPMS 5K Fundraiser

1. The 5K is the Cedar Park PTC’s only fundraiser.
Forget the extended magazine sales or monthly dining nights. Your parent-teacher club (PTC) is getting it done RIGHT NOW, so we can spend the rest of the year relaxing & watching our hard-earned donations being spent on our kids.

2. Donors have payment options.
Set-up an online fundraising page & solicit donors from family & friends across America. But if you’d rather just keep it old school & write us a check (or stuff a little cash in an envelope), we’ll take that too. Either way, it’s tax deductible!!

3. 5K information will be sent via email soon.
Be on the lookout for a 5K smore newsletter, headed straight to your inbox. We are DEDICATED to ensuring that you have everything you need to make an easy & confidant donation in your child’s school.

4. The 5K provides some pretty cool stuff that KEEPS CEDAR PARK AWESOME.
This 5K does it all– bulking up the library, supplementing our after-school clubs, providing transportation for educational field trips, and most importantly, filling in those gaps where the regular school budget just ain’t cutting it. Want nitty gritty? Head to www.cedarparkptc.org/business to poke through our financials.

5. We need parents to make the day LEGENDARY.
The 5K team has got some pretty awesome ideas in their back pocket, but we can’t pull it off without YOU. Be on the lookout for our volunteer sign-ups or just plan on joining us on Thursday, 10/3.
