About Crooked River Pods
Our Mission
At Crooked River PODS, our mission is to empower parents to actively engage in their children's educational journey by providing daily support to Crooked River Elementary School. We are dedicated to fostering a collaborative environment where families, teachers, and staff work together to create a positive and enriching educational experience for every student. Through various initiatives such as hosting the PBIS store, assisting in classrooms, and showing appreciation for our school community, we strive to strengthen the bond between home and school, ultimately enhancing student success and well-being.
Our History
Founded in 2022, PODS (Parents Offering Daily Support) emerged as a dynamic force within the Crooked River Elementary School community. Distinguished by its collaborative approach, PODS set out to work hand-in-hand with the school, a departure from the conventional model of independent parent-teacher organizations. In just one year, PODS experienced exponential growth, blossoming from a humble group of four dedicated members to a formidable community of 123 passionate individuals.
Throughout its inaugural year, PODS orchestrated a series of impactful events and initiatives aimed at enriching the educational experience for students. From vibrant fall festivals that brought families together to funding numerous classroom experiences and facilitating the operation of PBIS stores, PODS left an indelible mark on the school landscape. These achievements underscored the power of collective action and the unwavering commitment of PODS members to enhance the educational journey of every student at Crooked River Elementary School.
Our Volunteers
Crooked River PODS offers flexible opportunities for volunteers to engage with the school community. Join us for our weekly Volunteer Workday every Thursday from 9 AM to 12 PM, where you can assist teachers or tackle projects around the school. Additionally, sign up for monthly events like Festive Fridays, AR reward parties, teacher appreciation events, and PBIS Store activities. At PODS, volunteering is tailored to fit your schedule and interests—whatever you choose, your contribution makes a meaningful impact. Plus, our volunteers are the BEST!
