Countless studies have shown the value of parental involvement in a child's education. There are many ways to be more involved at home and at school; the mission of the PTG is to foster and enable parent involvement at school and to improve many different aspects of our school program. The PTG is a vital part of the school. Members work and support the activities sponsored throughout the year for the benefit of the children. Parents should make every effort to attend the scheduled meetings throughout the year. Dates and times are given at the beginning of the school year. The success of the group relies upon your support and participation

Scouting
In partnership with committed adults, scouts develop qualities that will serve them all their lives. They build character and skills for success in the real world. Through the enriching programs provided by the Boy and Girl Scouts, students develop strong values, social conscience and conviction about their own potential and self-worth and they discover the fun, friendship and power of togetherness.
School Committee
School Committee: An advisory group that gives input to the pastor and his designee, the principal. They focus on future planning for the school, revised testing data, curriculum, policies that impact the operation of the school, budget and athletics. There is sub-committee work done for marketing and strategic planning. The group consists of 6-8 members and the pastor and principal. We meet on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 7:00pm. Any interested persons can obtain an application when openings take place.

School Improvement Committee
School Improvement Team: A group comprised of parents, principal and teachers. The purpose of the group is to create a strategic plan for the next five years. The team is charged with overseeing, with the pastor and principal, the implementation of the plan.
