Hargrave Parent Council
The Link Between Parents, Cadets and their School
Joan Keston : President

Marsha Bartholomew : Treasurer
Julie King : Secretary
Formed in 1987, the Parent Council is an organization of parents of current Hargrave Cadets. Our members represent both boarding and day students from the upper school and CIS.
The Hargrave Parent Council has two purposes. One is to act as a liaison between the parents and the administration, sharing information and concerns. Parent Council members are readily available to answer questions from parents about school activities, functions and Cadet life. As a group, we work with the administration to provide feedback and suggestions in the best interests of our Cadets.
Our second purpose is to support Hargrave, the parents and the Cadets through our activities and events. Our biggest fundraising goal is the sponsorship of the Annual Faculty/Staff Appreciation Event to express our deep appreciation to the faculty and staff at Hargrave. As time and budget allow, the Parent Council may take on a project it feels will benefit the entire school, such as landscape projects, academic department needs or Chapel requests.
In the 2010/2011 we purchased five loaner computers for the school to lend to Cadets who were having their computers serviced, three horizontal sliding math boards for the math classrooms, landscaping at the steps of the Main Hall and an event announcement sign that is in the front of the Main Hall. It was a record-breaking year for the PC!
Our activities and events include:
- Offering refreshments in the English Room in Camden Hall during the Fall Parent’s Weekend and on Mother’s Day.
- Hosting a welcome table for parents at Fall Parent’s Weekend and Military Ball.
- Writing a column that is posted in the Hargrave newsletter.
- Sponsoring a dessert and coffee bar at the Military Ball for parents to socialize.
- Decorating the Chapel for Christmas.
- Organizing communications for car pools.
- Offering for sale and delivering exam treat bags to Cadets.
- Participating in admissions events, matriculations and talking to parents about Hargrave.
The contribution of every parent, no matter how small, is appreciated in these efforts. Together we can make a positive difference on campus for the benefit of the entire Academy.
If you are interested in volunteering your time or talent, please contact someone on Parent Council or CMDR Frank Martin, Chief of Staff and our staff liaison between the Parent Council and the Academy, at 434-432-2585.
