What is the Sabin SUN School all about?

Sabin SUN, a program of the Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO), aims to improve the lives of children, their families and the community by extending the school day and develop schools as "community centers" in their neighborhoods. SUN Community Schools strive to be a community "hub." They link with other community institutions, such as the libraries, parks and community centers, neighborhood health clinics and area businesses. Sabin is a PPS K-8 school located in NE Portland.

SUN Community Schools:

1. Extend the school day and broaden the educational resources for the community
2. Bring and coordinate services to the community
3. Bring the community together to break down isolation and strengthen families.
4. Build relationships across generations, cultures and incomes

Sabin SUN is proud to partner with AKA Science, MAD Science, Concordia University, Self Enhancement Inc, 4-H Wildlife Stewards, Whole Foods Market Fremont, Portland Police Bureau, Hollywood Theater, NW Internal Arts, and Portland Early Learning Project to offer high quality extended day classes. Classes also include content in visual arts, music, drama, cooking, dance, and foreign language/culture.
