Parent and Family Group

 
 

Northern Lights Parent & Family Group (PFG)
The St. Paul School of Northern Lights Parent & Family Group (PFG) is a non-profit, volunteer-led organization dedicated to supporting the school’s mission and strengthening our community. We coordinate events, like Harvest Festival and Winter Warm-up. We also lead fundraising efforts that benefit Northern Lights like Great Gatherings, and the Northern Lights Plant Sale. All events are listed on the school calendar.

We strive to provide funding and support to families and staff throughout the school year.

All are Welcome
All current parents, guardians, or adults serving in a parental role for Northern Lights students—as well as permanent school staff—are automatically considered members of the Parent & Family Group (PFG).

No Membership Fees
There are no fees or required donations to participate. Contributions of time, energy, or funds are always appreciated—but never expected.

Get Involved
Members (all families at Northern Lights) are invited to attend meetings, volunteer for activities, vote in board elections or removals, and submit proposals for the board’s review.

Join a meeting and get involved!
