The guiding principle for PEG  (Parent Engagement Group) is to be Welcoming Ambassadors with a Whole School vision to Cultivate Strong Partnerships.

We focus on three main priorities:

  • Recruit volunteers for school events

  • Build connections between families

  • Welcome new and transitioning families

There are ongoing parent meetups to build community. Check your email for reminders (or email us at peg@greatriverschool.org if you’re not seeing the reminders for parent meetups!)

PEG will hold a planning meeting in person at GRS and on zoom each month (generally the first Monday of the month) at 6:30 PM. Guest Speakers are often featured before the meeting at 6pm. All of our meeting times are on the GRS calendar and everyone is welcome to attend!

 

Build Community by getting involved!

Current Volunteers Wanted:

We are currently seeking Members at Large!

These general membership roles are open to parents and guardians of GRS students, even if you're not ready to commit to a specific position. The more ideas and input, the stronger our Parent Engagement Group and School Community will become!

We have interest groups forming around Harvest Fest, Prom and Graduation planning, the Blue Heron Bash fundraiser, Staff Conference Meal Support, Sustainability/Environment including initiatives for Gear Swaps, Earth Day actions, Bike/Walk to School days and more.
