Build connections and raise money to support our school community: Great Gatherings!
Folks will sign up to host a gathering for grown-ups, kids, or both. Then people pay a fee to attend, and that fee is a donated to the Parent & Family Group to support our efforts.
Examples of events include backyard movie nights or walking tours for families; pizza parties or craft nights for kids; and wine & cheese samplings and workshops for grown-ups. Host registration ends Sept 22, 2025. Sign ups to attend a Great Gathering will open at Harvest Fest.
