ACMA’s thriving dance program sets it apart from all other secondary schools in Beaverton School District. As an option school that draws from all corners of the Beaverton School District, our students have the opportunity to study dance from grades 6-12. ACMA’s program allows students of all different backgrounds to come together and be educated and cultivated in classical ballet, jazz, historical modern, innovative hip hop, Broadway, concert tap and other genres of dance. Our program welcomes dancers of all levels from beginner to advanced.
Our goal was to raise funds to purchase dance shoes, including tap and character shoes for our students to use as loaner shoes while in class or after school programs. Kids who are in beginner classes can use the shoes without having to purchase expensive footwear needed to participate. Additionally, it is important for our kids to wear dance shoes as the shoes provide needed traction and support for the specific styles of dance they are learning.
With the help of our generous donors, ACMA was able to raise money to purchase 30 pairs of character shoes and 30 pairs of tap shoes. Thank you BSD community!!!

Westview ceramics students are ready to take their artistry to the next level, and we need your help to make it happen! We are raising funds for a high-quality printer that will bridge the gap between ancient tradition and modern innovation. With this technology, students won’t just be molding clay; they’ll be mastering digital image transfers and intricate surface designs that were previously out of reach.
A new printer will allow students to imprint personal photos and digital designs directly onto their ceramic masterpieces. This offers more professional- grade work to showcase creations in the hallways as well as community galleries. This project introduces career-connected learning by blending fine arts with modern digital production.
Every donation helps students see their digital vision come to life in 3D! Donate to “Clay Meets Technology” today!
At Mountainside High School, our student artists are ready to take their work from the classroom to the gallery! The Mountainside Clay Club, National Art Honor Society, and IB Art students are launching a hands-on project to build professional-grade pedestals. These are essential for properly showcasing 3D artworks at community shows and IB Art Exhibitions, providing students with real-world experience and increasing scholarship opportunities.
Your support makes a difference for approximately 60 students who will build and paint these pedestals, gaining construction and career-connected skills. These pedestals will remain a permanent resource for future Mountainside artists in the coming years. Donate to the Pedestals for Student Art project today!
Although Sunset has a smaller Latino population than our fellow BSD high schools, there is strength in our diversity. Sunset has students whose heritages range from Mexico to Venezuela, Brazil and Colombia to name a few. We have focused on sharing our stories and goals this year during our club time, and we have established some community-building activities that include families such as Loteria Night and Dia de la Madre luncheon. The César Chávez Conference is a well-established and historical experience that has been in existence for over 30 years, and it is renowned for providing a space for our future leaders to meet distinguished speakers and participate in work sessions with these amazing mentors. We hope to join nearly 2000 Oregon students that will attend this year, and we thank you for your support of our Apollos.
The Terra Linda Resource Room serves students who benefit from targeted instruction, adaptable learning options, and a space where their unique needs are recognized and supported. Our amazing learners are capable and motivated, but they often need specific tools to fully engage with instruction. By equipping our resource room with essential materials (like sensory fidgets and text-to-speech tools) to support social-emotional needs, academic gaps, and engaging activities, you can help support inclusive learning and student success.
Help us create a learning environment where our highest need students can take risks, build skills, and experience success. With your contribution, every student who enters our Resource Room will have access to the tools they need to thrive—without barriers and without compromise.
