All parents of Friends Select students are members of the Parent Association (PA). Its mission is to support Friends Select School as a learning community rooted in Quaker values. Led by a PA board and several committees, members of the PA work with the school administration to achieve the following goals:

  • Provide opportunities for parents to meet together socially.

  • Serve as a communications link between the school and families, particularly through PA Class Representatives.

  • Create opportunities for parent education through lectures, speakers and discussion sessions.

  • Facilitate parents' financial and volunteer support to the school through events that traditionally include a book fair, and auction.
  • Provide opportunities for FSS families to engage in service activities.

Read the Parent Association bylaws here. For more information about the Parent Association, contact Molly Mullahy, director of parent programs, at 215.561.5900, ext. 139 or at mollymu@friends-select.org.
