What We Do
The Parent Advisory Committee sponsors and coordinates a number of fundraisers at Old Post Road School.  These funds are then used to purchase supplies and subsidize programs that allow for a more complete learning experience at OPR through:

• The purchase of technology supplies such as Chromecarts and interactive white boards as well as playground equipment
• Funding of enrichment programs through Cultural Arts for student body assemblies and classroom experiences in music, dance, and art
• Contribution to the Docent program which exposes 2nd through 5th graders to an art appreciation program
• Provision of supplies for the Understanding Our Differences program, which is a disabilities awareness program
• The support of academic activities through Math & Science Nights, the Reading Incentives program, and Junior Great Books
• Student scholarships for field trips, school supplies and attendance to all PAC sponsored events.

PAC strives to create a sense of community among students and families at OPR through events such as:

• Kindergarten Meet & Greet
• Ice Cream Social
  
• Restaurant Nights
• Math & Science STEM Nights
• Math Day in the Park
• Family Fun Run
• Field Day
• 5th Grade Flocking
• Apple of My Eye Dance
• Subsidizing the 5th grade yearbooks

 In addition, PAC uses the money from fundraisers to show the school staff how very much our families appreciate their dedication and effort in working with our children each and every day.  We provide:

• Welcome Back Breakfast for staff
• Gifts to the administrative staff, school nurses, and principal
• Staff Appreciation Luncheon
• Annual stipends to every teacher at OPR that is used to purchase supplies for their classroom
