Georgetown Home and School Association

Notice biographique

On 28 January 1949, the first meeting to discuss establishing a parent-teacher association for Georgetown School was held in Georgetown, Prince Edward Island. The Georgetown Home and School Association was formally established on 17 November 1949 in the community's Council Chambers. Mrs. Myrtle Babineau (president), Mrs. William Murphy (vice-president), and Mr. J. B. Palmer (secretary) were the Association's first officers. The purpose of the Georgetown Home and School Association was to increase communication between the school and home and to foster a strong relationship between parents and teachers. All parents were eligible for membership, as was any adult living in the school district. The Association's executive consisted of the president, vice-president, secretary/treasurer, the mayor, the resident clergy, one member of the school staff, and one member of the Board of School Trustees.

Meetings of the Georgetown Home and School Association were held monthly during the school year and took place in the Council Chambers and Legion Hall during the period 1949-1955. These meetings typically included: reports from the various committees, such as the School Visiting Committee; discussions on issues of interest to parents, teachers, and students; presentations by guest speakers; and films on parenting and education issues. Each meeting also included a lunch prepared by members of the Association.

The Georgetown Home and School Association played an active role in the school, donating money and resources to support school activities. This included purchasing music books, sponsoring students in Music Festivals, providing funds to school teams for equipment, and donating prizes to be presented at school closing ceremonies. Members of the Association were also very concerned with students' health and took steps to ensure access to clean drinking water, to organize dental clinics, and to provide first aid materials to the school.
