The next Parents' Club meeting of the year will be on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. in the Resource Center. All parents are invited to join us. Please note that this is a change from the Agenda Calendar.

The Parents' Club is an organization made up of current and alumni parents.  The Club:

  • raises funds for the benefit of the school and students,

  • provides volunteer services and hospitality at seven school functions,

  • establishes a voice for parents

  • provides programs of interest for parents throughout the year. 

The Parents' Club meets on the first Monday of the month when school is in session.  All are welcome to join us. Meeting times are posted on this Web page prior to the first Monday.
