Parents' Association Initiatives
VOLUNTEER
Building Community Through Parent Involvement: The variety of volunteer opportunities through our various Parent Organizations (PA, Dads’ Partnership, Booster Club, Fine Arts Network) make it possible for parents with different schedules, interests, and talents to participate in the life of the school. Whether a one-time or ongoing commitment, every contribution is needed and valued. ESD encourages parent involvement and it is fundamental to ESD’s mission.

EPISCOPAL IDENTITY
Parents' Association Parent Affinity & Alliance Groups are groups of people linked by a common identity, interest, or purpose. The groups provide the opportunity for reflection, dialogue, and support, and the capacity to build more inclusive spaces.
SPEAKER SERIES
The Parents’ Association Speaker Series offers the opportunity to experience and learn from remarkable individuals who are experts in education, child development, and health who present practical parenting tools that support and inspire families.
UNIFORM RESALE POP-UP SHOP
The Uniform Resale Shop is a project of the ESD Parents' Association and is a great place to purchase ESD uniforms and ESD spirit wear. Most uniform pieces are $5 each. The Resale Shop, located upstairs in the Swann Center near the wrestling room, is open for Pop-Up events throughout the year. If you have uniform pieces to donate, please drop them off with the receptionist at the Merrell Road main entrance.

JUNIOR CLASS FUNDRAISING
Parents of junior class students raise funds and plan the Junior-Senior Prom. Families can support the Prom by purchasing spirit wear, mums & garters, and holiday wreaths & poinsettias from the Junior Class Parents' Association Reps. Look for time specific ways to support the various Prom fundraisers in NYCU and Rep emails.
