VOLUNTEER LEADERSHIP The commitment of our dedicated volunteers plays an essential role at FAIS. Not only do our volunteers model responsible, service-oriented behavior to our students; they are the wheels that keep so many of our traditions alive. Our volunteers serve in classrooms, recruit and welcome new families, and coordinate events that strengthen our community. Thank you to ALL of our volunteers. Your wholehearted dedication to FAIS is so greatly appreciated.
FÊTE DU VIN
ANNUAL GALA
Each fall, this wine event brings the FAIS community together and celebrates the rich culture and growing talent of Portland's food and wine community. This year, we hosted a unique, at home wine tasting experience, where guests tasted twelve wines from four different vineyards and via Zoom, connected directly with the winemakers. Twenty-five percent of the proceeds from wine purchases come back to FAIS
The Annual Gala is our largest community building and philanthropic event. Our 2021 Virtual Gala celebrated the silver linings from a year of challenges, and reminded us to find the good in every day. With an outpouring of support from our community, we blew past our Special Appeal goal and raised over $230,000 to upgrade the gym floor and build a bouldering wall!
