Parents Association/Va'ad Horim
| The Parents Association/Va'ad Horim is a volunteer membership organization of Gross Schechter Day School parents. Its leadership is comprised of a board of directors and committee chairs who are nominated and elected at the end of each school year. The entire Schechter community is encouraged to submit nominations for serious consideration. The primary goal of the Parents Association is to enhance and enrich the overall educational experiences of our children, parents and staff. We encourage you to join the Va'ad/PTO and show your support for the school and, most importantly, the students. |
Current News from the Parents Association:
Volunteers make all the difference!
Research has shown that parents who are more involved in their children's school have more successful students. It is the dedication of our many volunteers that makes our Parents Association/Va'ad Horim programs possible.
