Village Montessori School - Parent Association
Philosophy: The VMS parents’ association acts as a support for VMS. The Parent Association supports parents and the goals and spiritual growth of VMS.
Goals:
1. Parent support - The VMS-PA provides an opportunity for parents to not only interact in organized settings, but also an informal way for social interaction and mutual support for families with similar needs and values, with a goal of building a sense of community and providing a substitute “extended family” for our families.
2. Parent Education
3. Community Outreach
4. Growth and expansion of school or programs
Membership: All parents of children enrolled at VMS are members of the Parent Association. Meetings will be held periodically throughout the year and dues of $25.00 is requested from members. This small fee funds social events, seminars, festivals, family picnics, etc.

School Book Fairs: The money raised will be distributed evenly between our classes for classroom books.
Auction/Spring Gala: This event raises money for the Village Montessori Scholarship Fund.
