Parent Group Purpose

MHNS Parent Group contributes to the mission of Mount Hebron Nursery School by working to build community among the families of MHNS and to raise funds to benefit MHNS and our teachers and staff. We utilize the many wonderful skills and talents of our MHNS families to create memorable events for our entire school community of students, families, and staff.

FUNDRAISING Funds raised by the MHNS Parent Group in past years have been used to help MHNS purchase:

Interactive White Boards to be used in the classrooms, along with staff training to use the new technology;
Air Filters for each classroom to help keep our kids & teachers safe during Covid;
New Playground Equipment and the Soft Rubber Mulch underneath;
The Creation of a 6th Classroom (The 2s Room);
Computers for Each Classroom; and
The Driveway around the School.

In addition, the MHNS Parent Group funds student programs during the school year, including:

The annual pumpkin patch for students;
Special in-houses programs, such as visits from the KinderSinger and Eco-Adventures; and
Certain field trips.

Through the generosity of the MHNS community, all of these school enhancements have been paid for without affecting tuition rates.

COMMUNITY BUILDING While raising funds is a big part of what we do, our most important priority is to help foster a sense of community for MHNS families, caregivers, teachers, and staff. We host social events for our community throughout the year. Past events have included:

Retail Therapy Night,
Adults Only Mix-and-Mingle Night,
Restaurant Nights,
The Annual Spring Fair,
Our biennial Gala, and
Much More.

In the Spring of each year, the MHNS Parent Group organizes Teacher Appreciation Week, a special week to thank our teachers for their hard work throughout the year.

We’re always looking for more fun ways to connect, so please don’t be shy in sharing your ideas!
