There are many opportunities to volunteer with the Parent Club!  All parents are members and welcome to attend meetings and participate in fundraising events. 

Purpose of the Parent Club

The purpose of the Parent Club is to promote Christian education and to render financial assistance to Grandville Christian. 

Meetings are held in both the fall and spring. In the fall the Parent Club discusses projects and parents have the opportunity to choose where they would like to volunteer. In the spring the Parent Club reviews how much money has been earned during the school year and determines where to use it to benefit GCS. 

Over the years the Parent Club has funded playground renovations, landscaping, new computer technology, band and orchestra instruments, library supplies, carpeting, painting, classroom white boards, teachers' classroom supplies, and tuition reduction.
