What a way to spend a Saturday! Our Scholar Athletes hit the slopes of Mt. Hood to go snowshoeing with @mazamaspdx as a part of our Passport Oregon program. This was our second Passport Oregon trip of the year and we enjoyed a day of hiking, sledding and snow ball fights. Thank you Mazamas for the wonderful day! #explore #oregon #ptande #scholarathlete #fun

A huge thank you to the Maybelle Clark MacDonald Fund for generously donating $20,000 to support our Ready, Set, Read! Community Literacy Program. Ready, Set, Read!, which started in 2017, empowers families to improve their literacy skills. With one-on-one tutoring, ongoing assessment, and community engagement, families receive the support they need to develop their literacy skills. We saw significant positive results with the program in 2018 and the number of students in our program reading at grade level doubled! This impactful program would not be possible without this generous support! Thank you to the MCM Fund for positively impacting the lives of our Scholar Athletes and their families. Another thank you to Intel, Oregon Community Foundation, Wells Fargo, KCura Gifts, Spirit Mountain Community Fund, Ross Stores, Umpqua Bank Community Giving, SMART and the Clark Foundation who have supported this important program. We appreciate you! #ptande #scholarathlete #literacy
