PA Committees

Standing Committees The Parent Association relies on the work of many volunteers to implement its programs and events each year. Committees are formed each year, as needed, to support the goals and objectives for the year. Each committee is led by at least one chairperson and is made up of volunteers from the greater Parent Association body.

  • Fundraising

    The Fundraising Committee is a newly formed committee designed to expand our possibilities for raising needed funds at St. Paul’s. This committee directly supports the School’s commitment to remaining a diverse and inclusive school by contributing to tuition assistance and making all of the School’s programs accessible to all families. In addition to Amazon, Sports Basement,  eScrips, Pizza Day, OakTown, and Book Fair, this committee will create new events and activities that promote community and raise important funds at the same time. For more information on joining this committee, please email committee chair, Shelly Cox at spesoak.fundraising@gmail.com.

    The Parent Education Committee will help to select important topics for the enrichment of SPES parents and families.  Along with the school administration, the Committee will seek out speakers, workshops and experiences that will help parents be better informed about contemporary issues in learning, child and adolescent development and how to better understand and support St. Paul’s curriculum goals.
