Let us know what you like to do, we all help so it becomes a very easy task, only a few hours. Many hands make light work! We just need a new team of loving, committed, thoughtful parents to continue with nice events for the kids!

Once again, my sincere thanks to my team officers who are graduating:) for their support and care for their school community during these years.  Much appreciated!.

All these ten years helping schools have been great, I enjoyed it all,  lots of work but delighted to have contributed with great events - e.g. the best ever ARMS winter social party - and building up the core ideals and actions of humanity that make our schools and community special. This is my last term as Chair and I’d like to ask our wonderful new parents to please volunteer in all PGO roles: chairs-fundraisers-communication/blog-grants-education award- activities & events.

We would like to meet outside in a social get-together, with teachers and staff too, date TBD and weather permitting. The BYOM event (bring your own mug), we provide tea, cocoa & cookies & smores! Let us know if you'd like to come. And we'd love to organize something special for our end-of-year 8th grade students too! We have suggestions but we'd like to hear from you.
