Parent Groups

Our Parent Special Interest Group program is designed to bring families together around a common interest. 

Do you have an idea or suggestion for a group?

COMMUNITY SERVICE  This is garnering a groundswell of interest and energy and is the chosen focus of PAEC President, Ann Thorkelson. The Community Service initiative, which gathered 51 signatures from parents wanting to join, is aiming to run 1 or 2 different charitable focuses per month. We are currently supporting Jane Addams Place and HopePHL with donated supplies. We are planning to visit a soup kitchen this fall.

The episode will also feature AIS community members made up of students, families, faculty and staff. The episodes will be posted to the AIS website. Volunteer parents are needed for cooking as the guest chef family, dining with guest chef families, planning new episodes, and videography skills.

  • Hours during the week from 10 am to 5 pm and Sundays from 12 pm to 3 pm.
