John Green PFC

Welcome to John Green's Parent Faculty Club

Make a difference by volunteering..Get Involved!

We are glad you are here! The PFC Board members greatly appreciate your continuing support for our school.

The PFC funds or subsidizes the majority of classroom and extracurricular programs such as art in action, character education, classroom supplies, field trips, grade-level grants, science programs, etc. We are requesting a minimum of just $100 per child to support these important programs for our children. That's only 56 cents per day out of 180 days in the school year. This is far below what some neighboring schools ask from their families.

If you didn't get a chance to donate, you may still do so by clicking here.
