Gray Academy parents are active partners in building an exceptional school community. Our Gray Academy Parent Association (GAPA) organizes a broad range of programs for students and families, including lunch programs, our annual Fun Fair, teacher and staff appreciation initiatives, fundraising activities and much more.

Immediate need for volunteers!
GAPA programs rely on the dedication and commitment of amazing Gray Academy parents:

  • Hot Lunch – we need hot lunch volunteers, starting in October (after high holidays). Whether you can help out every week or even just once a month, please email us at gapa@grayacademy.ca. We would love to have your help!
  • Challah Program – we are seeking 1-2 volunteers to coordinate a weekly program allowing families to order fresh, delicious challah for Shabbat.
  • Rosh Hashanah– we will need volunteers in September to help prepare apples and honey for our Rosh Hashanah assemblies at school. If you are available to help, please email us at gapa@grayacademy.ca.

What else does GAPA do?

  • Family events – our annual Fun Fair, trivia nights, winter fun events, family dance parties, and more.
  • Lunch programs – organizing menus and delivering weekly lunch orders for Elementary and High School.
  • Pre-loved uniforms – GAPA runs sales where parents can purchase gently used uniform items (donated by families who no longer need them) at deeply discount prices, with all proceeds going to support school programming.
  • Fundraising – brainstorming and implementing programs that generate additional funds for holiday programming, school celebrations and more. This year, we were proud to contribute a significant gift to the new Gan Re’ut playground at the Asper Jewish Community Campus!
  • Teacher/staff appreciation – showing our amazing faculty and staff some special love with occasional treats and recognition.
