Cohesive Close-Knit. Positive School Community. Supports Teachers and Classrooms.

The mission of the Family Association is to nurture a cohesive, positive school community and offer support to teachers and classrooms.

Welcome Parent/Caregivers

Like many Parent Associations, we want to engage our current parent base, but as a Family Association (FA), we also strive to encourage involvement from extended family and friends in supporting the mission of MSGH. By strengthening these bonds, we hope to achieve greater school support through a variety of volunteer contributions, which in turn, will increase the social connections that create our close-knit community. If you are a member of the MSGH community, you are a member of the Family Association. The FA is led entirely by volunteers including a chair, representatives for each classroom, committee chairs and committee members.
