What is PIA? PIA stands for "Parents In Action"

The purpose of PIA: To promote a spirit of cooperation and unity in our school family through coordination of parent programs, communications, fellowship, and encouragement of one another, our administration, faculty and staff.

• To continually  improve and enhance the quality of our school.
• To develop between educator and parents such united efforts as will secure for our children and youth the highest advantages in mental, physical, social and spiritual education.
• To conduct fundraising efforts as a means of providing additional funds for educational equipment and supplies.

PIA Fall Fund-Raiser - Is Here!
Sale Dates -  August 30th - September 20th.

Our fund-raising  partners are Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies and Yankee Candles.  Please support our goal to beat last year's fund-raising event which raised +$14,000 for our kids education and FBCA.

Room Moms

Thank you in advance for signing up for this very important job.  Our Room Mom orientation meeting is September 14, 2010. 

 Please don't miss this opportunity to get valuable information and meet the other Room Moms. 

Being a Room Mom is very rewarding work... It's seeing the smile that shows we're making school a little more fun --and a child or youth feel a little more comfortable in a wonderful learning environment.

Room Mom Responsibilities & Sample Classroom Communications 

PIA is here to support the students, administration, teachers, staff and parents.  We stay very busy throughout the year and welcome your involvement and feedback.  We need the help of many, many parents and would love to have you come and serve our school and staff - even an hour or two a quarter makes a huge difference!  We have fun doing all that we do!

PIA's contributions go on & on.  Here are just a few that we have provided for the school...

• The last 6 years our major fundraiser has made approximately  $10,000+ each year!
