Many potential vendors might think, why should I participate in the Capitol Hill Holiday Market? While it might seem that donating 25% of sales may be a bit more than what you were expecting, just remember that the money you donate is going directly to the students for the arts. In the Portland Public Schools, K-5 schools do not have a structured art curriculum. Recently the city passed the Art Tax, but even that is under scrutiny recently. The money raised at the Holiday Market can be used to purchase more art supplies and work with various artists and art programs in the community. As most people are aware, art is a quickly dying necessity in our schools, and with this Holiday Market, we are hoping to restore art back to the students.
Besides the cause, you might be wondering, where is Capitol Hill Elementary? Capitol Hill is located in SW Portland, close to Multnomah Village. It is a smaller K-5 school that boasts high student achievement and a very involved PTA and local community. This wonderful neighborhood school serves students all the way from John's Landing to part of Multnomah Village. Students, parents, and the community take much pride in our neighborhood school! You can learn more about our school on the school website.
