For those of you new to Geneva Day School, the Geneva Parents Association (GPA) is a volunteer group of parents who meet to discuss school issues and plan activities that create community among our families. These activities include fundraisers, community events, and philanthropic activities. The GPA serves as a bridge between the School and Geneva families. All Geneva parents are invited to attend monthly GPA meetings which alternate between Tuesday nights and Wednesday mornings, and at which childcare is provided. We encourage you to attend these meetings and share your ideas. It’s a great way to get involved in your child’s school experience!
How can I get more involved?
- Volunteer to be a GPA Class Representative:
Liaison between GPA, parents, and Teachers communicating GPA ideas/concerns from your classroom’s parents; reporting GPA needs/ideas back to parents by attending monthly GPA meetings; and reporting to the class via email. - Volunteer to be a Room Parent:
Communicate class events and announcements, arrange for volunteers from class to bring snacks and activities for class parties, collect funds, purchase items and assemble class basket for Annual Silent Auction, and more!
How can I chair or volunteer to help with a GPA event?
There are many GPA sponsored events throughout the year. We can not make them possible without your help. Some yearly events for which we always need volunteers include:
- Ice Cream Social – pass out ice cream treats to the families.
- Scholastic Book Fair – help set up, sell books in 2 hour shifts and clean up from this 2 day event.
- Ice Skating Social – organize and distribute wrist bands for the skaters, snack acquisition, promote the event to the Geneva community.
- Annual Silent Auction – donation acquisitions, catalog ad sales, class basket chair, wine cellar chair, set up day of auction, drink ticket sales, check in, check out, and many more!
- Teacher Appreciation Week - bake or buy food items for special staff meals or help your child write a letter of appreciation to your teachers.
- End of Year Picnic and Bake Sale - bake items for the bake sale, volunteer to coordinate a ride line, sell baked goods during the carnival, help set up or clean up.
