Does GRCDC have a PTA?

• Yes; we call our PTA the Family Team

  • When you enrolled your child in Grand Rapids Child Discovery Center, you joined a diverse community that aims to expand the potential of all children. This requires a partnership between school staff, family members, and the broader community.

  • Most schools have a group of dedicated people that works with the school to support its mission by raising funds, hosting events, and supporting extracurricular activities. These groups are often called Parent-Teacher Organizations. At GRCDC, this group is known as the Family Team, and it includes all GRCDC families. The Family Team provides the organizing structure for parent and guardian involvement at the school. Your membership in the Family Team is automatic.

• Ways to help.

  • here are many ways to be involved with the Family Team. Your time commitment can be big or small. You can help at school or from home. We need people, amateur or professional, who are artists, designers, tech enthusiasts, numbers people, cleaners, decorators, gardeners, organizers, handy people, photographers, writers, and bakers. We need volunteer coordinators, fundraisers, and event planners. We need people who can come to meetings and share ideas or show up to events and lend a hand.
