Giant City School Staff

Join GCSPA today and help make your children’s dreams become a reality! Your membership fee is used to provide GCS students with services and equipment that would otherwise be unaffordable. GCSPA holds several fundraising events throughout the school year to raise money to help teachers purchase additional educational materials and supplies for their classroom and/or items for the school that would benefit all Giant City School students. Last year through the support of our Giant City families we raised approximately $15,000.00. We, in turn, gave this back to our teachers, drama program, supplies, etc. to help supplement the needs of the school.Every dollar donated is given back to the school. If you are interested in volunteering to help with fundraisers, please contact Kate Fakhoury at 618-319-0883. (Membership does not require you to volunteer but GCSPA encourages parent and teacher involvement) Your participation is vital to the success of GCSPA and the school. Please help support Giant City School!  Become a Member today!

This is just another way to help support Giant City School!

In fall of 2007 GCSPA created a new fund aimed at helping those children and families in our school district who are in need.  The Giant City CARES fund will be accepting donations on an on-going basis and provide assistance when needed throughout the school year.  Our current goal is to maintain at least a $500.00 balance in the fund to assist with individual needs such as shoes, socks, coats, hats, gloves, etc. Students will have the opportunity to contribute to the program through classroom fundraisers such as CARE day. Individual donations will also be accepted throughout the year as well.  All contributions are fully tax deductible. If you are in need of assistance or know someone that is, please contact the school office.

Please show Giant City that you CARE.  Donate today!

Checks can be made payable to GCSPA.  Please write “Giant City CARES” on the memo line of your check and return to the school office. Thank you for your continued support! EMAIL US Note:  New board members are placed in office on July 1st of each year and serve a two-year term.
