What is the Sabin School Foundation?
· The Sabin School Foundation raises money to fund additional staff positions at Sabin School; additional staff– teachers, specialists, and educational assistants – can only be funded through a school foundation.
· The Sabin School Foundation is run by parent volunteers and is an affiliate of All Hands Raised (the Portland Public Schools Foundation). One-third of funds raised above $10,000 go to the PPS Equity Fund to help schools that are less able to raise funds close the achievement gap.

What does the Sabin School Foundation support?
· The 2013-2014 school year is the first year in which the Sabin School Foundation was funded to support additional staff, with an allocation of $54,900 from the PTA.
· Foundation funds are supporting full-time art instruction and supporting an MYP social studies staff position, helping to expand enrichment opportunities and reduce class sizes for all Sabin students.
