St. Patrick's Parents Association

The St. Patrick’s Parents Association is comprised of all parents at St. Patrick’s Day School. The Parent’s Association plans and funds cultural art programs that all students attend. In addition, the Parents Association sponsors the Back to School picnic, the Santa Store, the “Lights Out with Santa” gathering, Teacher Appreciation Week, the Book Fair, used uniform sales, and parent prepared lunches. The Association also provides support for Sports Day activities, the Christmas and spring music concerts, the Art Show and the graduation breakfast.  Parents have also volunteered time, labor and materials to complete many needed projects around the school. 

Parents Association dues of $15.00 are included in the tuition.  The dues are used for the basic operating expenses of the Parent Assocation.

What is the difference between fundraisers sponsored by the St. Patrick’s Parent’s Association and those sponsored by the school?

Fundraisers sponsored by the school and those sponsored by the Parent’s Association are all focused on supporting and nurturing the excellence of the program and maximizing the students’ learning experiences.  However, funds raised by the Parent’s Association are separate from those raised through Annual Giving or the Gala, and are not used to help meet the operating expenses of our school.
