St. Clare School Portland Oregon

Ok, St. Clare Community, time to pay attention: Our last dine out night is tonight (6/9) and McMenamins will donate an incredible 50% of DINE-IN sales back to St. Clare! Let’s all rally and take advantage of this amazing opportunity to fundraise for St. Clare School!

A note on logistics: The restaurant has advised us to “get people to spread out their arrival times—it really does help with wait times and the enjoyment of all the people coming out to support your cause.” To that end, and only if convenient, if families with (generally) younger children can plan to arrive somewhere between 5:00 and 6:30, while families with (generally) older children can plan to arrive any time after 6:30, that would be much appreciated. That being said, if you have a kindergartener and a 2nd grader and the most convenient time to arrive is at 7:00, please do come.

Finally, thank you to the St. Clare community for supporting PTC’s Dine Out Night Initiative throughout the year. We’re pleased to share that with our final Dine Out Night at McMenamins, this year is on track to achieve our highest gross revenue since we began tracking the program. Well done, everyone!

We are so close to hitting our $5,000 bottle drop goal—let’s try to surpass it tomorrow! Our final drive‑through event is June 5—your last chance to drop off bags at school before drive‑throughs resume next year. And remember: those blue bags don’t expire. You can take them to any BottleDrop location anytime, and the funds will still be credited to St. Clare’s account.

More bottle drop news: On Friday, May 29, representatives from St. Clare School presented a ceremonial shirt—designed by our first‑grade class—to Mrs. Steele and Fr. Rodel of Holy Family to celebrate our victory in this year’s friendly intra‑school competition.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to the faculty, staff, and students of Holy Family School for jumping into the BottleDrop challenge with such great spirit. You made the competition fun, lively, and just the right amount of dramatic. We’re already looking forward to next year—because you can’t have school spirit without a friendly rivalry!

Jet boats, splashing, and scenic views, oh my! This annual 3rd grade field trip is quickly becoming a big favorite among the students (and parent chaperones)!

Perfect attendance at St. Clare School means Mrs. Lazaris can put her feet up and enjoy her coffee this morning ☺️ Stay healthy and enjoy these last few days of school, Dragons!
