Make a Donation to SECO Sato Elementary Community Organization (SECO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are the parent volunteer organization of Sato Elementary School. Like many other schools and non-profit organizations, SECO relies heavily upon volunteers, donations and generous sponsors to help run the many wonderful activities and programs we put on throughout the year. The mission of SECO is to promote the complete well-being of the students at Sato Elementary School and enhance their learning experience by fostering community among parents, teachers and staff. To further its goal of helping to amplify each student’s learning experience, SECO provides the planning, funds and/or volunteer support for many events, programs and activities at Sato Elementary. The money raised from fundraising, sponsorships, and donations helps SECO lower student field trip costs for both buses and admission tickets. It pays for Art Lit supplies and allows us to host after school events like Movie Night, the Halloween Party, Dance Party, and Cultural Night. It's also used to pay for guest speakers, Oregon Battle of the Books, additional classroom supplies, and helps fulfill staff grant requests. Any money raised goes right back into our school!
