PARP is a National PTA program designed to foster the love of reading. The primary goal of PARP is to promote childhood literacy by asking parents or caregivers to set aside time each day to read with their child. PARP encourages programs during the school year that supports reading and participation of children, caregivers, teachers, administrators, school staff and the community by reinforcing the pursuit of reading for enjoyment.
The committee works closely with building administrators and teachers in our K-5 schools. This Committee has Committee Chairperson(s) and School Building Representatives.

The PARP committee is thrilled to reintroduce the
Pen Pal Program for 2026!
Students from different GC schools will be matched according to grade and will send a written letter to their assigned pen pal in the mail. To participate, please complete this form by Wed, 3/18.
Students will receive their Pen Pal matches before Spring Break, and are asked to send their letters by 4/30. We look forward to helping kids across GC connect with a love of letters, language and reading!
