Parents' Association & Events

Our Parents’ Association hosts a variety of opportunities throughout the year that allow the community to come together in celebration and support of Marymount.

Parents are invited to volunteer their time and talents to facilitate the organization and operation of these special events. Community gatherings include:

Benefit Gala

This major fundraising event brings the entire community together for an evening featuring a cocktail reception, dancing, and auction.

Book Fair

This sale provides students an opportunity to celebrate a love of literacy and purchase books for both required and leisure reading.

Christmas Fair

A beloved tradition that kicks off the holiday season at Marymount, the Christmas Fair offers a wide variety of gift items for purchase, from hand-crafted Christmas trees to boutique luxury items.

Lower Mid Square Dance

A tradition for over 70 years, students in Lower Mid bring their father, guardian, adult relative, or family friend for a fun-filled evening of square dancing, games, and refreshments.

Skating Party

A tradition for over 50 years, all members of the community are invited to spend a night skating under the stars.

In addition to event committees, parents also participate in:

GRACE Parent Committee

This group discusses topics of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in our community and helps to plan heritage celebrations and other cultural awareness initiatives.

Joint-School Committees on Middle/Upper School Activities

These committees consist of parent representatives from the single-sex independent schools to encourage safe, well-chaperoned, age-appropriate activities for adolescents and young adults.

Class representatives also host grade-level gatherings and service projects throughout the year to build community and class bonds.
