• Building Community: Fall Parent Social, Holiday Brunch, Sock Hop, NMY Dance, Pancake and Read Across America Breakfast

• Fundraising: TCS Fall Festival and Farmers’ Market, Bookworks Event, Fun Night Annual Fundraiser, and Fun Run

• Providing Volunteer Opportunities: Room Parents, Parents on the Playground (POPs) lunches and much, much more
