The Salmon Creek Harmony ARK (shARK)
is the Education Foundation on campus—similar to a PTA. Membership is open to all parents, students, teachers, and staff of Harmony Elementary and Salmon Creek Middle Schools, and the Occidental community at large.
ShARK provides financial and volunteer support to the school district in ways that expand and enhance the many rich offerings that make our school unique. A small sample of shARK contributions over the years include: both playground structures, expansion of the school garden program, after-school enrichment classes, subsidized field trips, and many school-wide celebrations and events.
This support is provided EXCLUSIVELY by parent volunteers and financial contributions from our community. The participation of families is essential to shARK’s success. We encourage all parents and community members to contribute your time, talent and financial support.
