About the PTA and Foundation

The Bridlemile Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) and the Bridlemile Foundation work together to ensure that Bridlemile is a great place to learn for all of our children. Both the PTA and the Foundation are entirely volunteer-run.

Your contributions—whether through direct donations, corporate matching, and/or participating in various fundraisers—enable us to allocate 100% of the funds to support Bridlemile and the classroom. These funds go towards enriching programs, special events, technology upgrades, musical productions, and more. Thanks to the gracious backing from families within the Bridlemile community and local businesses, our school and its students flourish.

Should you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns about how to better our community at Bridlemile, feel free to contact any of our board members or attend an upcoming PTA meeting.

Bridlemile PTA

The Bridlemile PTA is made up of devoted parents and caregivers that work with our amazing teachers and staff to sponsor and facilitate events, coordinate volunteer support, and raise funds for our school.

The PTA sponsors the Grow Portland school-wide curriculum, classroom supplies for Bridlemile teachers, community outreach support for Bridlemile families in need, and signature community events and programs including Freaky Friday and Beagle Basketball. The PTA also compiles a free online Parent/Student School Directory (also known as Membership Toolkit) each year so more families can connect.

All Bridlemile PTA program and events are funded through annual fundraisers and community donations.  Our 2024-2025 fundraisers include the All Access Pass/PTA Membership, Charleston Wrap Fundraiser, Scholastic Book Fair, and Restaurant Nights.

Bridlemile Foundation

The Bridlemile Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to non-staff-related school funding.

While we are not be able to use fundraising dollars to help support supplemental staff like in years past, we recognize the continued need for fundraising at our school and now have the ability to shift those funds into other important venues for Bridlemile. This year and moving forward, we get to keep 100% of our fundraising efforts.

In 2024-25, we are fundraising for:

  • Individual classroom AC units

  • Chromebook upgrades

  • Field trip expenses

Parent volunteers are critical for helping us fundraise through our annual events like the Holiday Tree Sale, Auction and Beagle socials. If you are interested in getting involved in this year’s online auction and/or enjoy planning fun events to bring the community together, come join us!
