Parents Association

This group, which includes all enrolled parents, helps to create a sustainable community through social events, fundraising, and support of day-to-day operations. The PA Chair and Co-Chairs energize, oversee and assist other committees and one staff member serves as the liaison between the PA and Board of Trustees.
