Our organization is fully funded by our fundraising efforts. We have three major fundraising events throughout the year:
Double Down Casino Cruise (which we host with the Cascade Locks Museum),
Eagles Flight Jog-a-thon, and
Poinsettia fundraiser.

The PTO also holds smaller events throughout the school year and summer. Our ability to raise money depends on how many volunteers we have to help us. More volunteers=more money! Want to help?

In August and September 2026, we prepared for Back-to-School. Here is how we supported CLES in these months:
Bought food (taco meat, beans, rice, tortillas, chips, vegetables, and fruit); assorted drinks; and dining materials for the community dinner at Back-to-School Night.
Bought Back-to-School Decorations for the entry way
Bought a template and printed recruitment materials for the PTO
Bought snacks and back-to-school brunch items for teacher and staff appreciation.
Bought $200 in snacks for classroom teachers so each child has the fuel they need to learn.
Provided $100 mini-grants to each classroom teacher to help them prepare classrooms for the students.
Started buying snacks and skating items for the first Skate Night, Sept. 25!
