We are a Parent Support Organization (PSO), which consists of caregivers and staff members who work together to support the students at Charles F Tigard Elementary School. We host fundraisers and events to raise money that goes directly back to the school. See below for a breakdown of where these funds go.
Join us at our next meeting! It’s the best way to stay informed about what we’ve been doing and what we have planned next.
