Message from the Parents Association President, Fall 2009

On behalf of the Parents Association, welcome to the new 2009-2010 school year!   

I am looking forward to working with many of you this year. I first got involved when my kids started at Head-Royce three years ago.  For me, it has been a fabulous way to meet other parents while supporting our children and our school.   

All parents are members of the Parents Association. There are many ways to participate – depending on your interests, skills and time.  Here are examples of activities that are driven by the power of parent volunteers:

• We sponsor hospitality, such as providing snacks for all-school faculty meetings, and the parent dinner at Jayhawk Café on Back-to-School night. 

• We organize events and programs that foster community. “Share the Care” is a new program to organize help for Head-Royce families in crisis. The popular Global Feast, held in January, is an all-division potluck for families to share dishes and their heritage.  Many of the speakers for student assemblies are arranged by the Parents Association.

• We fundraise to support our school mission through Escrip and the spirited spring auction. 

• We facilitate communication between parents and the School with general meetings on topics of interest to parents.  We also coordinate the room parent network.

How will you volunteer for Head-Royce this year?  Whether you are a new or returning parent, I hope you will participate actively – volunteers are the foundation of a strong community.

If you want to get involved and aren’t sure how, just drop me an email!
