Parents' Association

The Orchard Parents’ Association is committed to building a strong and inclusive sense of community among parents, students and faculty, and to facilitate communication, connection, and involvement throughout the school.

A community that is warm and inviting is part of what makes the Orchard experience memorable for the school’s students and their families. Each year, our hard-working and enthusiastic volunteers come together to enrich our community and build enduring relationships. The PA supports many well-loved community events such as Fall Festival, clothing and food drives, Trivia Night, One World Celebration, Teacher-Staff Appreciation days, and The Orchard School Auction. We also support concession stands at sporting events for fundraising.

Every parent of an Orchard student is automatically a member of the Parents’ Association. Whether you have limited availability, or you are someone who is able to give more time – there are numerous volunteer opportunities from which to choose. We value and appreciate your commitment to helping Orchard be the best it can possibly be.

In addition, the PA hosts monthly meetings. These are open to the community, and I hope that you will take our invitation to attend. They are a great resource to understand how the Board operates, and to get information about upcoming events.
