Membership:
Any parent who has children attending Perkiomen School is invited to attend our meetings and join the Parents Association. Annual dues are $40 and are typically billed as a voluntary contribution during the summer. If you have any questions or would like to become involved please contact one of the Parents Association officers.
Fundraising events
Dues are a significant portion of our annual revenues and form our annual
“seed” money with which to conduct the Parents’ Reception, Registration Day
events, and the annual auction.
Christmas SCRIP Program- Don’t forget to get you SCRIP orders in! You can also purchase select SCRIP cards in
Robbie’s. Click Here for more
information.
Basket/ Live Auction – Family Day
Another significant source of revenue for the Parents Association is the Annual
Basket and Live Auction which is held on Family Day. Parents are
solicited for contributions of items, services, or cash that is used to
purchase items for auction. The local business community has also been
invaluable in supporting our auction effort with contributions of overnight
stays, event tickets and locally produced wares.
Service Events
Blazer and Uniform Sale – The Parents Association collects donated blazers, pants and polo shirts, cleans and sells them during the few days before and during registration. Price is $20 without a school patch and $25 with a patch. Senior Awards – Each year, the Parents Association selects a graduating girl and boy who have gone above and beyond the call of duty in service to Perkiomen School.
Vespers Decoration – Members of the Parents Association “surprise” students returning from their Thanksgiving break with a chapel full of holiday decorations.
Holiday Baking – Prior to Christmas vacation, the Parents Association honors the faculty and staff with holiday baked goods. Donations may be delivered to Kriebel Hall Conference room mid December.
Student Events
Jr. /Sr. Prom – The Parents Association is a major contributor to the Jr. /Sr. Prom. This additional funding is requested by the Jr. Class Prom Committee each year and has helped keep the cost of this elegant event within reach of all Perkiomen students.
Palintir – The school’s literary magazine has grown in quality over the years. The Parents Association makes a contribution to help defray the cost of publication.
Middle & Upper School Dances – Many of the dances receive a significant portion of their funding from the Parents Association. These events help form a bond and trust between the students that is important for their social growth.
