Grout PTA

Mr. Ferguson’s Funky-Fresh Fourth Grade Class took a field trip to the Oregon Historical Society today. Thank you to TriMet for getting them there and back! Thank you to Oregon Historical Society guides Darren and Chet for leading them through some of the incredible “Experience Oregon” exhibit!! And thank you to all the parents who chaperoned!!! Field trips like this are only possible with the help of our amazing parent volunteers.

Good News: Thanks to the passage of Measure 26-261, if any Grout kids (or their parents) want to come back and see more of the museum, it’s free for all Multnomah County residents! That's right, we can see the legendary Portland Penny for zero pennies.

I scream! You scream! We all scream (with joy and excitement) for the 3rd Annual Ice Cream Bike Bus to Fifty Licks on Wednesday, June 3rd. We're so excited to join Glencoe, Abernethy, Richmond, Sunnyside, Atkinson, Creston, and Winterhaven for a fun, family friendly ride to Fifty Licks. Ice cream will be free for Grout students but donations are encouraged.

🚲🚲🚲We'll gather in the back plaza near the playground, departing at 2:45 after school. Helmets are required. Parents/Teachers/Staff/Imaginary Friends all welcome!

A huge “Thank you!” to everyone who has helped the Grout PTA with fundraising this year. Your financial support made our mural possible!!! Your financial support makes ALL of our projects possible!

🎨🎨Our new mural was paid for with grants AND PTA funds. 🎨🎨
🎈🍕Our community events are paid for with PTA funds. 🎈🍕
✏📎Our classroom stipends and school supplies are paid for with PTA funds. ✏📎

We love doing fun things at the school. Exciting things! Big things! All these things are possible with community involvement AND community fundraising.

If you have the ability to donate again, we are only 56% of the way to this year's GoFundMe goal. We’ve had 19 families donate to our “No Stuff” fundraiser so far. We would love to finish this year by reaching our goal of $3000.

Donate today so we can continue funding big, fun, exciting projects at Grout!

Tonight Grout families were invited into the school for a "Soar into Summer" curriculum night. Thank you to all the Grout staff and teachers who hosted activities. Our kids had a marvelous time roaming the halls, showing off the school, and getting their activity cards punched. And at the end of the night, they came home with a backpack filled with supplies for a summer full of learning and creativity! What was your favorite part of the night? Ours was seeing all the sassy lil' hats.

Has your child been singing "It's Raining Tacos" all weekend? Now they can relive *almost* every magical moment of the talent show with our Spotify playlist "Now That's What I Call the Grout Elementary 2026 Talent Show"
