(From the June 2005 Newsletter)

Sara and Kirsten co-led the Portland school partnerships investment team whose objective was to find a meaningful way to engage directly with elementary schools in low income areas and have an impact on children's academic performance through stronger parental participation. To accomplish this, Sara and Kirsten established strong contacts with the Portland Schools Foundation, elementary school principals, school administrators and social service organizations. Their leadership was instrumental in defining the SVPP partnerships with Clark and Kelly Elementary Schools for the 2005-2006 school year.
