Parents Association Committees
The SSCPS Parents Association Committees are the link between parents' ideas and parent action. They each provide energy and support to the school by harnessing the particular interests and skills of involved parents.
If you have a head full of ideas, and if you have energy to share, please team up with a PA committee, or make a suggestion to form a new committee.
Arts & Music Committee
Acts as an advocate for all of the Arts in the school curriculum: drama, literature, music and visual arts. Sets up visiting artist schedules, art-related field trips, and works to find grants to fund arts in the school.
Chair: Vacant
Community Service Committee
Establishes and maintains ties between SSCPS and various community groups, with the purpose of guiding our students towards opportunities for fulfilling their community service requirements. Looks for grants to fund community service programs.

Library Committee
The Library Committee participates in all aspects of maintaining the school's library, including ongoing management of the library collection, fundraising to acquire new materials, writing grants, supporting students and teachers in their use of the library, and participating in the creation of an expanded library/media center. The goals for this school year are to update the current collection using a new computerized cataloging system and to partner with community libraries to introduce library skills to our students.
