The purpose of the Parents Association is to support the mission of The Branch School and to provide support for the school in the areas of fundraising and social activities. The Branch School Parents Association organizes many worthwhile school projects, such as the Summer Reading Program. They participate in various fund raising efforts through the school year including shopping rebate programs and this year our first annual Fall into Fitness (a fun run walk) to take place November 15th. Our gala this year will be called Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez! (“Let the Good Times Roll!”) and will be held on Saturday, February 20, 2010 at Lakeside Country Club.

Meetings and events scheduled for the year are listed in our monthly calendar.
