Welcome Back to Green Hedges from your Parent Association Board!

The Parent Association (PA) comprises all of our Green Hedges families! The goal of the PA is to promote school spirit and a sense of community through numerous events and programs. All Green Hedges families are invited to be involved through volunteerism or by participating in events.


This year, we are excited to be:


  • Strengthening our school community with exciting enrichment events and social gatherings such as DragonFest, Dragons on Ice, and Bingo Night; 


  • Supporting and showing appreciation for our teachers and providing grant opportunities for teachers and staff;


  • Hosting events that foster and inform dialogue about education, parenting, and child development


  • Investing in helping teachers and parents with initiatives that strengthen Green Hedges!


Take a look at what we did last year!!

Here are some of the ways that you can be active in the Parent Association and support our Green Hedges community: 


  • Volunteer to help with DragonFest- our community fall festival October 17, 2026 and attend our first DragonFest planning meeting (more details soon)!
  • Be on the Teacher Appreciation Committee to plan a monthly event and show our teachers some love.
  • Serve as a Room Parent for one of our Montessori classrooms! Reply to this email if you want to learn more about being a Room Parent in Ms. Rovegno or the Grade 1 classroom.
  • Attend a monthly PA meeting - all are welcome to come to our monthly Friday morning meetings to learn more about upcoming events and ways to get involved!
