PAWS

Building community…Creating connections

PAWS (Parents And Wildcat Supporters) was created to empower, support, and uplift our dedicated educators while fostering a strong sense of community through engaging and inclusive family fun nights. 

We are committed to:

  1. Supporting Teachers: We strive to provide teachers with the resources, tools, and encouragement they need to excel in their classrooms. We believe that when teachers thrive, students succeed.
  2. Building Community: We are dedicated to creating a warm and inclusive environment where parents, teachers, and students come together to build strong, lasting connections. We believe that a united community is the cornerstone of a successful educational experience.
  3. Family Fun Nights for All: We organize fun-filled, family-oriented community nights that bring joy, laughter, and togetherness. These events serve as a platform for families to bond, share experiences, and create lasting memories.
  4. Inclusivity and Diversity: We embrace diversity in all its forms and work to ensure that our organization is welcoming and inclusive to all members of our school community. We celebrate the unique perspectives and backgrounds that make our community vibrant and rich.
  5. Transparency and Accountability: We maintain transparency in our operations and financial management. Our members can trust that their contributions are used responsibly to benefit our teachers, students, and community.

Together, we aim to create an environment where teachers feel valued, students thrive, and our community flourishes. Through our combined efforts, we envision a brighter future for all involved in the education of our children.”
