Abernethy Elementary has been the heart of SE Portland since 1925. Now we're raising $100K to build the next century. Join us.
Walk through the doors and you feel it. Teachers who stay for decades. Parents who know each other by name. Kids who actually want to be here.
Art, music, recess in the rain. The kind of school people move to the neighborhood for. Abernethy has been the heart of this community since 1925.
Abernethy PTA is a 501(c)(3). All donations are tax-deductible.
