Parent-Staff Association

The Athletics Committee is regrouping this year. For volunteer opportunities with our athletics program, please contact Kim Sulman, Director of Athletics.

The Care Committee is part of the PSA. We provide care through meals, and occasionally rides to school during times of strain or difficulty.

To be part of Care: We are always looking for volunteers for the committee. Once on the committee, you will receive an email whenever there is a request for meals and you can decide if the time is right to sign up and provide a meal.

You can SIGN UP HERE

To request Care: Many of us have trouble asking for help, and yet many of our care recipients note how comforting the gift of meals or rides to and from school from members of their community feels. Requests for meals can be made anonymously and provide as much or little about your situation as you wish.

To request Care, you can contact your head teacher, your child's teacher(s) or any of the Care Co-Convenors:

Cheryl Bolick: cbolick@email.unc.edu (children in MS and US)

Sadie Bauer: Sadiebauer12@gmail.com (children in MS and US)

Rachel Cohn: Rachel.mikala.cohn@gmail.com (child in LS)

Kristen Jacobsen: kaje84@gmail.com (children in LS and MS)

Ida Trisolini, Staff Clerk, itrisolini@cfsnc.org (child in MS)

In addition to all-school gatherings and social events for parents and guardians, the PSA has coordinated a number of different programming opportunities, including community service, community read discussions, and more.

Any community member can support the School while grocery shopping thanks to efforts coordinated by the PSA Grocery Committee. This fundraiser brings tens of thousands of dollars annually into our children's classrooms! In addition to buying grocery cards or linking your shopping account, you can also volunteer to help the committee.

Currently available! Please direct inquiries to: cfspsa@gmail.com.

• Let us link your Harris Teeter VIC. Enter your information once and we’ll re-link each August. You can opt-out whenever you wish. Family and friends can also participate, so share the link. The CFS code is 3402.

Unit liaisons are also a part of the PSA. Each unit of the school has a number of parents who serve as parent liaisons. The liaisons serve to assist the Head Teacher of each unit in a myriad ways including: helping coordinate parent volunteers; helping foster community through programming; and communicating with parents. Liaisons are also a resource for parents who have questions or concerns they want to discuss with another parent.

Volunteers with the Welcome Committee welcome new families to Carolina Friends School by organizing buddy families and parent get-togethers. The Welcome Committee comprises parents in the Lower, Middle, and Upper Schools who work with the Office of Enrollment to help new families transition to CFS. (The Early Schools, which are smaller and where a higher percentage of students are new each year, arrange their own welcome experiences for families.)
