ABOUT US

What Does The Ark Do?

The primary purpose of the Salmon Creek Harmony ARK Education Foundation is to provide students at Harmony Elementary and Salmon Creek Middle schools with a wide range of educational programs beyond the basics supported by State funding. Through our successful fundraising efforts, students experience the learning opportunities that many of us parents, as children, took for granted.

 

In addition, Salmon Creek Harmony ARK works to encourage parent and public involvement in the schools. The ARK is open to all parents, teachers, and staff of Harmony and Salmon Creek schools, and the Occidental community at large.

 

Who We Are

Salmon Creek Harmony ARK relies on a group of dedicated school parents who volunteer their time, creativity, and skills throughout the school year. The ARK is guided by a 5-15 member board of directors. Other parents fill key positions such as committee chairs, coordinators, class liaisons, and representatives.
