The Parent Club meets the 2nd Tuesday of each month at 5:30 PM in the Sr. Cabrini Center. All parents are welcome to attend. 

All parents or guardians of students and staff of St. Mary School are members of the Parent Club. Please consider volunteering for a Parent Club committee or serving as an officer for the Parent Club Board next year. It's a great bunch of people - and a great way to connect with other parents. Please join us!

Our goals are to:

• Promote communication, cooperation and good will among parents, teachers and administration
• Provide parents and teachers with the information to aid in all aspects of education and student's growth and development 
• Direct and coordinate parental support to the school through specific activities, social functions and fundraisers.
• Organize parents as advocates regarding local and national issues that affect Catholic schools 

Each quarter we host a larger "Parent to Parent" meeting. At these meetings we address current fundraisers and open the floor to parent questions, ideas and concerns. Meeting dates are published in the school calendar and in our Parent to Parent newsletter. 

Throughout the year the Parent Club sponsors both "friend raisers" and fund raisers - activities that provide social opportunities and fundraising opportunities for parents. We believe that by planning, working and socializing together we strengthen the fabric of our school community.
