About the Parents Association
St. John's has a unique and wonderfully active parent community that supports the school and our educational mission. Parents donate countless hours of personal time, apply their unique professional talents and participate passionately in nearly every facet of school life. Whether it's hosting large fundraisers, working directly with students in classrooms or providing emotional support to its members, the Parents Association (PA) devotes itself daily to helping make St. John's the very best we can be.
Community Building
Engaged parents. Exceptional faculty. Inspiring clergy. And wonderful kids. These are the members of the St. John's community, and all share the common goal of elevating the educational experience to its highest potential. The PA supports the St. John's community by mentoring new families, hosting fun, all-family events like the annual Carnival, and assisting teachers and staff.
Fundraising
Since its inception, the PA has contributed more than $2,250,000 to the school, which includes $190,000 raised during the 2011-12 school year. Various initiatives like Uniform Resale, Book Fair, Auction, Carnival, Box Tops collections, grocery cards memberships and spirit sales will continue to help build the school's endowment, provide scholarships, further develop our professional staff and create more student enrichment opportunities.

The PA's volunteer initiatives reach beyond events and fundraising efforts to encompass a wide range of daily activities, like lunchroom assistance, carpool direction and library support. It's how the parents of St. John's make a daily difference in the lives of students and faculty, alike. To get involved, please contact PA president Liz Williamson.
