Whether it's helping to raise money for the programs we provide, like P.E, Music, Art, and Library, or volunteering for a family event, your time and energy will make El Granada a special place to learn and grow.
What we do:
We provide enhancements to the school curriculum and support the classroom teachers, in the form of stipends and discretionary spending, We support curriculum components that are no longer funded by the state, such as physical education, science, and library time, through funding of staff salaries. We initiate community based events and family fun nights to include the entire El Granada community. Finally, we organize the efforts of our parent volunteers to impact classroom learning (art-in-action; arts and science day), field trips, school beautification and much, much more.
