FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
These are aimed at Senior Parents but helpful to ALL grades.
What is the GHS Parent Group?
The GHS Parent Group is a nonprofit group comprised of parent volunteers who work with school administration, teachers, staff, students and the community to support student activities. Most notably, we organize and support class specific events. Traditionally these events have been the Freshman Six Flags trip, Sophomore Block Island trip, Junior Prom Breakfast and Senior Safe Grad event. We conduct various fundraising activities throughout the school year(s) to help subsidize these events in celebration of our students.
My child has previously paid “class dues” to his/her student council and/or has participated in school specific fundraisers and events. Where does that money go/where is it now?
Class dues paid/owed to the Student Council are NOT affiliated with the GHS Parent Group. It is our understanding that traditional class dues are used to subsidize Student Council organized events such as Junior Prom, Senior Class Picnic and Senior Ball. Any leftover funds may be considered for post-graduation class events.
What happens to the money raised by the GHS Parent Group?
Money raised by the GHS Parent Group is spent entirely for the benefit of our students. We aim to offer a memorable Junior Prom After Party and Safe Grad Event, at which we provide each graduating Senior with a raffle prize/giveaway. This is made possible by the generosity of our community partners, parent volunteers and donors as well as funds from GHS Parent Group fundraisers.
How does the GHS Parent Group raise money?
The GHS Parent Group conducts various fundraising events each year, leading up to the grand finale Safe Grad event. Previous fundraisers have included raffles, restaurant nights, GHS merchandise, exam care packages, Freshman Six Flags trip and Sophomore trip to Block Island.
Previous events and fundraisers for our Seniors have included:
The Last First Day of School
Halloween Spooktacular Parade
Bright Lights Luminary Event
Shamrock Shenanigans
Senior Parent Swag
Graduation Signs
Who is in charge of the GHS Parent Group?
The GHS Parent Group is led by parent volunteers, with 5 – 7 members representing each class. The GHS Parent Group officers are elected annually by other parent volunteer members. The 2025-2026 GHS Parent Group board consists of Co-President Krista Aiello, Co-President Kristin Landry, Secretary Kristen Magoun and Treasurers Mimi Azemi and Robin Weiner (safegrad)
