KJH Parents & Teachers(KJHPAT)

Every parent and guardian is welcome to join the Kathryn Jones Harrison Parents and Teachers!
About KJHPAT
The Kathryn Jones Harrison (KJH) Parents and Teachers organization is an all-
volunteer, non-profit organization comprised of KJH moms, dads, caregivers and
grandparents in league with our teachers to help support and enrich our school. We
fund field trips, teacher grants, extra-curricular activities and school supplies/equipment
that fall outside of the school’s budget. We also help organize volunteers and plan
community building events. If you are interested in helping, please join us at our
monthly meeting!
We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 6pm in the KJH art room; join us to
learn more! Kids are welcome and pizza is provided to help make mealtime easier! If
you can’t make it in person join online: https://meet.google.com/byc-tqpx-kdz
