Mission:
The Saxon Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to support academic engagement and achievement in the classroom and in extracurricular programs. Through advocacy and the raising and distribution of funds, the foundation enriches the academic environment at South Salem High School.
Objectives: To assist teaching staff in maintaining and enhancing the educational environment at South Salem High School by providing funds for projects or other specific needs that otherwise would not be available to staff or students through the regular school budget funding.
To encourage community involvement in South Salem High School's educational programs by providing ways for individuals and organizations to share resources with the school and by facilitating cooperative ventures between community groups and the school. To aid in finding grant and funding sources for specific needs. To advocate for stronger District and State policies to adequately support academic success. Each year, the Saxon Foundation encourages teachers to submit a grant application for needed items not covered by the School District's budget. Through teacher grants and wish lists, the Saxon Foundation supports the school by funding needed materials, equipment, and other academic opportunities. Who are we: Volunteer parents and community members who want to make a difference in our student's education. Come join us and make a difference.
The Saxon Foundation is a 501.C.3 non-profit, and an Oregon Cultural Trust partner
2009 - 2010 school year we will meet in the north library from 1145 to 1245; if you can't make the meeting give us your email address and we can keep you up to date. There are plenty of short term volunteer opportunities available and every little bit of help does make a difference! This is a fun way to support your student and their classmates!
