Grade Level Parents! We are looking for two parents per grade to attend PA meetings, share updates with their grade-level parents, and serve as a go-to for quick questions. We promise it won’t be too much work — you’ll receive all the information you need, along with plenty of support, and it’s a great way to stay connected and help strengthen our school community.

Back to School Party (Fête de la Rentrée) 📅 Friday, September 26 ⏰ 4:00–8:00 PM We’re excited to kick off the school year together! To make the evening a success, we need your help. Signing up below means you’re willing to pitch in—you can choose what works best for you, and let us know how long you’d like to volunteer (it doesn’t have to be the whole time!).

Initial Setup: volunteers will help with preparing the space, moving items into place, and getting everything ready before guests arrive.

Decor: volunteer will bring and help set up decorations (with the help of other set-up volunteers), make sure the event looks festive, and add finishing touches throughout the party.

Barback Support: volunteers will help keep the bar area stocked, assist with supplies, and make sure things run smoothly.

Breakdown/Cleanup: volunteers will assist at the end of the event with taking down decorations, packing up, and leaving the space clean.

🍷 We’re also collecting wine donations! Please tell us if you’ll be bringing some and then simply drop your bottles off at the main office.

Thanksgiving Desserts 📅 Friday, November 21st ⏰ 3:30–4:00PM Thanksgiving Desserts 📅 Friday, November 21st ⏰ 3:30–4:00PM

We’re wrapping up race day with a Thanksgiving dessert celebration on the last day of school before the break. Each grade will bring desserts to share for their fellow grade-level students, and parents are welcome to come and partake as well. Volunteers may sign up for more than one item—just submit a signup for each item. If a slot is no longer visible, that means all three spots for that dessert have been filled.

Grade-level parents will help confirm how many students have dietary sensitivities to plan accordingly for gluten-free or vegan desserts. This is a strictly nut-free event to ensure everyone’s safety.

One parent per grade should sign up to bring Forks (pack of 100). The PA will provide plates and paper towels. To reduce waste and keep things simple, we will not have drinks or cups—students are encouraged to drink water from their water bottles after the race.

Desserts should be dropped off in the auditorium, where each grade will have a designated table. Parents should park at Pickwick and walk around the parking lot to the front of the school, entering through the doors near the auditorium to avoid disrupting the race.
