Welcome to the Parents' Association

ENRICHING OUR CHILDREN'S  EDUCATION
Parent involvement in our school adds strength to our programs. All parents are automatically members of the Parents' Association. The primary goal of the PA is to enrich educational experiences for the children. It provides resources to the school through various fundraising efforts as well as helping with school sponsored outreach programs. Parents are often found lending a hand to the staff in the more routine operations of the school. In addition, special projects undertaken by the PA include funding of new playground equipment, "Santa’s Secret Shop," volunteering in the classroom, and cultural arts events (puppet shows, etc.). There is always an ongoing project. The Association requires no dues, only your active interest and willingness to participate.

LETTER FROM MARCIA KOKOSKI, PA PRESIDENT
We have a very active Parents’ Association at St. Martin’s in-the-Field Day School.  We currently have seven board members and more than twenty individuals organizing events. I am excited to say that the Parents’ Association raised more than $50,000 for the school last year.  We bought computers, cameras, athletic equipment, and musical instruments. We contributed to the Public Address system that will be installed for day-to-day announcements and emergency response. We also contributed to scholarship funds and earthquake-recovery relief for Haiti.

There are a few positions open and many volunteer opportunities available.  The Parents’ Association plans many exciting events throughout the school year, such as the Book Fair, Halloween Dance, the Holiday Shopping Event, and the Annual Auction Benefit.  We encourage all parents to attend our PA meetings. We love to see new faces and hear new ideas!
