This month’s Dines Out will be at Por Que No (4635 SE Hawthorne) on Wednesday, November 11, from 4-9pm. Stop by this friendly neighborhood taqueria; kids menu and meal kits are available for take-out! Whatever you grab, 10% of proceeds will go towards the Buckman Foundation.
’Tis the season for a spooky Halloween raffle!
In lieu of our traditional Bowl-A-Ween event, we’re hosting an online raffle to raise funds for the Buckman Foundation. Enter for a chance to win a fall getaway of your choice: three nights at the Astoria House or a camping-in-style adventure in the Scamp Trailer.
Tickets are $20 each; all funds raised will go towards staffing positions at Buckman for the 2021-2022 school year. Buy 5 tickets, get one free!
BONUS: get one free entry by sharing your family’s fall or Halloween art! Share your entry in the Buckman Community Facebook group (request to join, if you haven’t already!) or send an email with an attached photo to foundation@buckmanelementary.org.
Carved pumpkins, drawings, paintings, a Halloween rap… it’s all fair game!
Click here to purchase tickets any time until midnight on October 30; one randomly selected winner for each getaway will be announced and contacted at 10am on October 31st!

We’re taking the Buckman Auction online! While we can’t meet in person, we can still support the people who are a critical part of our school: the staff who make Buckman Buckman! We’re getting creative with our auction this year, now scheduled as a week-long online event launching May 15th and culminating with a school-wide virtual gathering for the final hour of the auction on May 21st.
We’ll be launching the auction with Zoom kick off parties on May 15 where you can learn about virtual and traditional auction items and packages, including lots of great activities with teachers, and learn the ins and outs of the bidding process while connecting with other parents. We’re looking for kick off party hosts in every grade, or even every class. If you are interested in being a Zoom host, please reach out to the team at auction@buckmanelementary.org!
You do need to sign up and register a credit card in order to bid in the auction, but registration is easy and free! And better yet, our amazing auction sponsor West Coast Grocery is offering a free 16 oz. beer of your choice to every registrant, pick up from May 11-15th.
BUCKMAN DINES OUT! Every Tuesday in March from 4pm-8pm at Sammich PDX! 10% of your tab benefits the Buckman Foundation. Good eats for a good cause! Sandwiches are made with the best ingredients and house-smoked meats, including what might possibly be the best pastrami in the nation, brined and made in-house. GF & veg options. Enjoy!
