Parents and Friends Association

The Groden Center Parents & Friends Association, commonly known as the “PFA”, is an organization comprised of family members of Groden Center students, as well as Groden Center staff. The group meets monthly, typically on the 3rd Monday of the month. The group focuses on providing support and information in a social atmosphere. Topics presented have included communication, stress management, transition and adult services, SSI, and many more. The PFA is also actively involved in fundraising efforts, with the proceeds directly allocated to enhancing the materials and programs available for classroom use. Candy sales, yard sales, and our annual silent auction, could not take place without the devotion of our parents.
