Join our Board of Directors

Our board of directors is a dedicated group of individuals who serve three-year terms, and are passionate about improving the public education system in Central Oregon. They attend monthly meetings with an annual retreat. It is both a “working” and “governing” entity.

Trivia Night 2026

Join us for an evening of friendly competition, tasty food, signature drinks, a raffle with amazing prizes and community support! This year marks our 18th annual event. Teams of 3, sponsored by local businesses, will compete testing their brain power and random trivia knowledge. Throw in a costume and best team name contest and you have a guaranteed good time about to happen. Who will bring home the trophy this year? Proceeds from the event go to support our Classroom Enrichment Program (classroom grants) which benefits the 17,000+ students throughout Bend, La Pine and Sunriver who attend the 33 schools in our school . These grants bring innovative educator-led, hands on projects to our students that take learning to the next level. The funding gap is huge and we need support from community partners like you to help bridge that gap.
