South Orange Country Day School is proud to work with the community of families to enhance the experience of all students at our school. Parent Enrichment Program (PEP) was developed by engaged families that wanted to create a network of families to have fun, as well as support families raising young children. We all worry about potty training, setting boundaries, bed time rituals, etc. Sharing ideas with other families can be reassuring and helpful.
Fundraisers
PEP is proud to support South Orange Country Day School by supporting the class parent structure, as well as small fundraisers. The goal of PEP is to build community among all families at SOCDS. In September for the start of the school year PEP will sell SOCDS Spirit T-Shirts, collect annual membership dues, and plan for the school year events.
