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
PEG hosts events & parent meetups throughout the year 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!)
Build Community by getting involved!
Current Volunteers Wanted:
Key Experience Trip Volunteers

Great River School asks all families to give 20 hours each year to volunteer for the school. Get involved! Click the button above to see our current volunteer opportunities!
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.
