Family Partnership Circle
A place for families to connect, contribute, and grow together in the life of our school and community.
Everyone Has a Place Here
The Family Partnership Circle (FPC) is First Pres's open family and community volunteer group. It brings parents, grandparents, caregivers, teachers, church members, and other members of our wider community together to strengthen communication, coordinate volunteer support, and create meaningful opportunities for families to be part of school life.
Everyone is welcome.

Connection, Service & Community
The FPC is where families and community members come together to help make school events, volunteer opportunities, family experiences, and campus projects happen.
There is no membership or nomination process. You can participate as much or as little as your time and interests allow.
Governance & Vision
The Advisory & Vision Board (AVB) has a different role: advising school administration and church leadership, offering specialized insight, and helping guide the school's long-term direction.
Separating these functions allows the AVB to focus on governance and vision while the FPC focuses on family involvement and community participation.
What the FPC Is Here to Do
Our work centers on three simple goals that help families feel connected to one another and to the life of First Pres.
Volunteer Coordination
Connect willing hands with the events, classroom experiences, campus projects, and everyday needs where extra support makes a difference.
Communication
Create more opportunities for families to hear what's happening, ask questions, share ideas, and stay connected with school leadership.
Community
Build opportunities for families to spend time together, contribute their gifts, and become an active part of the wider First Pres community.
Where We Still Need Help
You do not have to lead a committee to be part of it. Volunteers can jump in for a specific event, project, or task that fits their interests and availability.
Fall Festival
Create a fun, welcoming community celebration through setup, children's activities, trunks, candy, hospitality, and other event-day needs.
Family Campus Events
Bring families onto campus for gatherings such as Grandparents Day, Veterans Day, and Mother's Day through refreshments, decorations, setup, and general support.
Art Show & Scholarship Fundraising
Help support the annual Art Show and the scholarship fund through year-round fundraising ideas, planning, outreach, and event support.
Outdoor Spaces
Care for the outdoor places where so much of First Pres learning happens.
Other Ways to Get Involved
Not ready to commit to a committee? There are several easy ways to lend your time, talents, or simply your presence.
Join the General Volunteer List
Be contacted when we need extra hands for event setup and cleanup, supervision, hospitality, campus projects, or other one-time needs.
Share Your Skills & Talents
Parents, grandparents, caregivers, and community members can join our list of people willing to share a career, hobby, skill, experience, or area of expertise with students.
Come to a Meeting
Come for fellowship, hear the latest information, meet other families, ask questions, or simply stay connected to what's happening at First Pres.
Thursday, December 10
FPC meetings are held every other month on the third Thursday. In December, the meeting will move to Thursday, December 10 because of Christmas break.
A Place to Connect
After FPC meetings, the school directors, Pastor Neal, and Advisory & Vision Board officers will be available for connection, conversation, questions, comments, and feedback.
Come As You Are
You don't need a title, a committee assignment, or a large amount of free time to belong here. Maybe you can help at one event. Maybe you have a skill to share with students. Maybe you simply want to meet other families and hear what's happening.
There is room for you in the Family Partnership Circle.
