Burrows Parent Educators Association (PEA)
What is the PEA?
- Similar to a Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), our Burrows Parent Educators Association (PEA) is a non-profit independent parents’ group.
- Burrows PEA seeks to promote the educational goals and welfare of the students and teachers at Burrows School. To do this, we organize fundraisers and fun events for the school.
- All families with a child attending Burrows School are encouraged to join the PEA! Fill out the green PEA Membership Registration form found with the school registration information, or obtained at the school’s office. Dues are $5.00 per family. All dues are used to support family and student events.
- The Burrows PEA has monthly meetings in the school’s conference room. Notifications of these meetings are emailed to parents. All parents are welcome to attend these meetings to give ideas, hear updates, organize events, or simply give constructive feedback.
- The PEA’s leadership is comprised of parent volunteers who are elected to their positions in May or September. The elected positions are President, Vice-President, Treasurer, Secretary and Volunteer Coordinator. All parents are welcome to fulfill these roles, or be a general member!
What does the PEA do?
- Innisbrook—Fall Fundraiser selling gift wrap, chocolates, etc.
- Two Scholastic Book Fairs per school year, with a fun Family Event for each fair.
- School T-Shirts, BoxTops, and TerraCycle Recycling
