The major work of the family council is to build community and support the on-going work of the school by sponsoring family nights, fundraisers and other events that bring together our diverse family and friends.
Family Council meetings are held in the Art Room on the first Wednesday of each Month. (This year’s October meeting is an exception) The Y provides on-site childcare for scholars and siblings. Pizza is provided for children and adults. Join us!
