The Parent Association

Function

Involvement in the Parent Association is open to all parents at Marywood-Palm Valley School.  The parent-led organization organizes over 20 events for the school each year and meets once a month.  The Parent Association Chair serves as a member of the Board of Trustees for the school.

Scrip Program

The Scrip Program allows  more than 15,000 non-profit organizations all over the country to raise money when their supporters purchase scrip gift cards rather than using cash or credit to pay for regular household purchases at some of your favorite stores and restaurants.  A percentage of the money is donated back to the school.  For example, purchasing a pre-paid $100 Scrip card for Macy's would mean a family could purchase $100 in merchandise and that Macy's would donate 12% or $12.50 back to MWPV.  The cards make great gifts and stocking stuffers.  Go to the eScrip Online Mall now.

Parents also can sign up their grocery store cards under the program.
