TGS Parent Group

About the Parent Group

Parents and Guardians of students at The Graham School are invited to become
members of The Parent Group, which meets once a month at the school. The group’s
purpose is to raise funds and provide support for the school.

Organization

The Parent Group is led by an executive board comprised of a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, and fundraising committee chairperson.

Fundraising

On-going fundraising projects include: Market Day and the sale of spirit items (t-
shirts, license plate frames, cinch sacks and bumper stickers). The Parent Group also
oversees an annual silent auction in December.

Funds raised by the Parent Group have been used to purchase:

• a new hot water tank in the kitchen
• classroom textbooks
• art supplies
• sound equipment for music & theater productions
• the breakfast program
• the rain garden
• student awards at graduation

Hospitality

Members of the Parent Group provide dinner for staff twice a year before student/
teacher/parent conferences, and also provide a luncheon during staff appreciation week
in May. In addition, the group organizes food for events such as Graham Jam, senior
breakfast, lock-ins and other events that require refreshments.
