Polari's Community Teacher Crew (CTC) is a group of Polaris families, community members, and staff teaming up to make our school even more awesome. We focus on organizing fun community-building events, raising money to support our school, and showing appreciation for our amazing teachers and staff.
Each year, we raise about $20,000, all of it going straight back to Polaris to support classrooms, student programs, and community-building efforts.
Your generous support allows us to help create a vibrant, inclusive school experience for all students and staff. Each year, thanks to the time, energy, and generosity of our community, we’re able to support things like:
Classroom Celebrations
Staff Appreciation Treats & Meals
Classroom & Club Supplies
Student Project Supplies
Supported Media & Music Room Updates
New Sports Equipment
Eco Week Fees & Transportation
Classroom Celebrations
New Mascot Costume

The Community Teacher Crew (CTC) is a group of families, community members, teachers, and staff working together to support students, families, and staff to enhance their Polaris experience. We coordinate fundraisers, events, teacher appreciation efforts, and more!
All Polaris parents, guardians, caregivers, teachers, staff, and students are encouraged to be part of the CTC! There are no commitments, just a shared desire to support our school.
We typically meet at 6:00 PM on the first Tuesday of the month at a locally owned business. You can find the date and location of our next meeting in the footer of this website. Meetings are open to all, come join us!
We always need extra hands for events, fundraisers, and teacher appreciation efforts. Check out our Get Involved page for current volunteer opportunities or sign up for our email list to stay updated on ways to help.
Every dollar raised goes toward initiatives that benefit Polaris students, teachers, and programs. View our Impact section above to see how CTC funding has been used to support our school.
