PSA Committees

Whether you are a parent, a guardian or a grandparent, there are many ways you can make a difference in your child’s experience at Knox. You can serve on a committee, support our fundraising efforts with your gifts and/or time, attend athletic games and performing arts events or join meetings virtually from a distance. Your involvement is important to our school family and visiting this website often is a great way to stay informed about the many programs and activities going on at Knox.

Please take a close look at the Parents’ Association Committees described below. With today’s technology, members of committees do not always have to meet personally. We encourage you to make a difference by participating in a Parents’ Association Committee.

To communicate your interest in a committee and/or to ask specific questions about the Parents’ Association and its activities, please contact Knoxpsa@gumeimy.com.

Events Committee

The goal of this committee is to support events sponsored by the School, its alumni and the Parents’ Association. Members promote Parents’ Association socials and assist the School’s Advancement Department with fundraising events to benefit Knox. They may also provide outreach to encourage attendance at events by School families.

Falcon's Nest Committee

The purpose of this committee is to promote Knox Spirit! It will choose products, facilitate orders and distribute spirit wear and gear at the school’s “Nest” boutique and at campus events. Any profits gained from the sale of these items will be used to fund programs and initiatives for Knox students as deemed appropriate by the Association.
