Parents

Parent Council

The Live Oak Parent Council is comprised of parents who work to make the Live Oak community stronger. Parent Council builds community by hosting events such as the Fall Festival and Grandparent’s Day. We serve the faculty and staff by hosting several teacher appreciation meals each year, coordinating room parents, and heading up teacher appreciation week.  We raise funds for the school by hosting the annual Book Fair, Christmas Store and running the Box Tops/Labels for Education program. These funds are used to purchase books for the library and items that enhance the education of our children (including document cameras, whiteboards, and Chromebooks.)  Lastly, we support each other with prayer, the uniform closet, and hospitality. All parents are asked to join the Parent Council as your membership dues support these activities. Please help us additionally by joining a committee. This is an easy way to earn your family service hours.

Book Fair– Assist in planning and hosting the annual Book Fair which occurs in early December. Usually involves staffing an activity during the Book Fair.

Community Events– Plan and host events for families such as the Fall Festival.  We hope to have two events per year.
