The Parents Association, composed of class representatives from each class (Room Parents) and the Vice Chairman of the School Board (ex officio), coordinates volunteer activities, assists the staff with Open House and school-wide programs, and sponsors fundraising activities. The Executive Board of the Parents Association provides leadership, communications, and supports the school in may fundraising activities. The Chairman of the Parents Association is appointed annually by the School Board in accordance with the School's by-laws. The Parents Association at Grace Episcopal School fosters camaraderie among parents through fellowship at annual events such as the Summer Wine and Cheese Party, the Fall Family Picnic, the Halloween Party, and the Winter Talent Show. (Please note that all children must be accompanied by a supervising adult at all parents Association events.) Fundraising is another key function of the Parents Association, with their annual auction raising substantial money for the school. Outreach is yet another important role for the Parents Association, and they work closely with Grace Episcopal Church on such worthwhile projects as the Brown Bag Lunch Program, the Carpenter's Shelter dinners, and the Easter Basket project for Goodwin House residents. As a subcommittee of the Grace Episcopal School Board, the Parents Association is the parents' liaison with the School Board. The Parents Association encourages communications, and feedback/suggestions may be made by directly contacting Parents Association officers and committee members. The parents Association meets regularly during the school year. Please check the school calendar and the "Parent Times" section of the monthly newsletter for meeting notices.
