For Parents: Parents' Association

 

PA Minutes Dec 09 Jan 10 | Easy Ways to Support the PA | Volunteer Form

Welcome to Bement!

We are looking forward to a wonderful school year!

This is indeed an exciting time in the history of the Bement School with the expansion of the north end of campus: new residences and new common areas for generations of Bement students, faculty and parents to enjoy for years to come!

 

The Bement School and the Bement Parents’ Association work together with common goals.  We, the parents, students and faculty all work together as a community to foster school spirit, friendships and to make a difference.  For those of you new to Bement, the Parents’ Association’s primary functions are to support Bements’ fundraising efforts and sponsor activities to enhance the sense of community and school spirit among students, parents and faculty.  We begin the year with the Blazer Exchange, the All School Picnic and Parents’ Day.  These initial events are excellent examples of what the Parents’ Association is all about.

 

Each one of you is a member of the Parents’ Association.  Our Parents’ Association is totally dependent upon volunteers and we welcome everyone’s participation.  No contribution or time commitment is too small.  Your participation really makes a difference in the quality of education our children receive. Please take a moment to review the Parents’ Association event listings to see which you would like to involve yourself.  Feel free to print out the volunteer form anytime and hand it in to either Carole Pennock in the Lower School or to Lizzie Doubleday in the Upper School.

 

On behalf of the 2009-2010 Parents’ Association officers, we wish each family an enriching school year.  We welcome you to join in our efforts to foster a community at Bement whose spirit is active, compassionate and exciting.  We believe that “excellent schools don’t just happen... they are created.”
