PS-8 Parent Club

All parents of students in preschool through grade 8 are members of the PS-8 Parent Club. There are no annual dues. Our funds are generated by family participation in fundraisers and collection projects during the year. The outstanding involvement and efforts of our students and families enable the PS-8 Parent Club to support major purchases of educational materials, technology equipment, safety items, and playground/physical environment needs.  Please join us in as active of a role as possible!
