Ardenwald PTO

Thank you, Ardenwald families, for all your classroom snack, school supply, and everyday staples donations so far! We’re extending the drive through next Friday!

We’ve also heard from the school that they need donations of spare clothes — especially pants — for kiddos in grades K-5.

Every donation like this makes a real difference for a Title 1 school like ours, especially as budget cuts and funding losses continue to squeeze what the school can provide directly.

Bring your donations to the front desk anytime during school hours next week, or order online and have it delivered. Amazing job, all stars! 👏👏⭐️

🍖 DINE OUT FOR ARDENWALD Reverend’s BBQ ! 🍖

Mark your calendars for Thursday, Sept 17th, 12-9PM! 🚌📚

Grab lunch, dinner, or both! Reverend’s BBQ is generously donating 10% of all dine-in and dine-out sales to Ardenwald Elementary! 🎉

✨ Just dine in or order takeout directly from the restaurant (delivery apps like DoorDash/Uber Eats don’t count toward the donation, so skip the app this time!)
✨ No flyer or code needed, just show up and eat!

Bring the family, invite your neighbors, and help us kick off the school year with some seriously good BBQ 🍽️💙

Did you know? Ardenwald Volunteers need to fill out a volunteer application and background check on North Clackamas Schools website.

Once cleared, these are good for 3 years and allow you to volunteer at your student’s school, in the classroom, for field trips, programming, events, and more.

If you filled out an application when your student was in Kindergarten and they just started 3rd grade, it’s time to do so again!

Quick heads up on what “staples” means for the supply drive! 🧴

We’re talking travel-size everyday essentials:

• Toothpaste & mouthwash
• Laundry detergent (packets or mini bottles)
• Shampoo & conditioner
• Soap / body wash
• Deodorant

Basically anything small (1–4 oz) that covers hygiene and cleaning basics.

Thanks for helping out! Our Stock the Snacks, Supplies & Staples closet runs Sept. 8th - 18th. You can have donations dropped off at the Front Desk or delivered during school hours.

🌞 We’re back! 🌞

After a little summer break, Ardenwald PTO is getting ready for another great school year! We hope our Ardenwald families are having an amazing summer and soaking up all those last few weeks of sunshine, adventures, and family time. 💛

We want to hear from you! 👇 What have you and your kiddos been up to this summer? A big trip? Lots of camping? Backyard adventures? Maybe just enjoying some slower days at home? Tell us in the comments!

Behind the scenes, our incoming PTO Board will be getting together next week to clean out and organize the PTO room, reflect on last year, and start planning and prepping for the 2026–2027 school year. We have lots of ideas and are excited to get things rolling.

Here’s to a wonderful final stretch of summer and an amazing year ahead!

It’s the last week of school, and our amazing Ardenwald staff are celebrating with students during Camp-Learned-a-Lot! The day kicked off with fun camp-themed songs, and we’ll gather for our Annual Family Picnic at 11 a.m. Cheers to a great year and an incredible community! ⛺️💙🎉
