Welcome to the Montcrest Parents' Association (MPA)
All Montcrest School parents are members of the Montcrest Parents' Association (MPA). They are the volunteers whose efforts make the school experience a richer one for our children and for the entire Montcrest community.
The MPA has four key roles within the school:
- To sponsor social activities that provide parents, faculty and students with the opportunity to experience what a unique and friendly community Montcrest School is.
- To raise funds to further enhance our children's education.
- To support the school's community service efforts.
- To provide administrative support to various school programs.
Our key social events for 2009/10 include the annual Fall Fair, held on Sunday, October 4, 2009 11:00 - 3:00; and the Grade Cocktail Parties for teachers and parents in the Fall.
Our key fundraising activities include a Pizza Lunch
Program, the school store (Monty's Cupboard), the sale of
Gym and Used School
Uniforms, Magazine and Gift Wrap sales.
The MPA's involvement in community service is focused on the
Bookshare Program, a Coat & Boot Drive and the
Holiday Gift Baskets for families-in-need.
Administrative support is provided on an ongoing basis and
through Class Parents.
MPA
meetings are held monthly at the school, right after drop-off.
These meetings provide a productive forum for the MPA Committees,
the Head of School, various members of the faculty and parents to
share ideas on MPA and other school-wide activities. Everyone is
encouraged to come, share ideas and meet new friends.
We look forward to the continued support of our parents, and to
meeting all of the new Montcrest families.
Natalie Herbert and Susan Davis, Co-Chairs
