Parent Association OF St. Edward (PASE)

Welcome to the St. Edward the Confessor Family!

The Parent Association of St. Edward School serves the school community through its fundraisers and sponsorship of events that enrich our students' education academically, socially and spiritually. In addition, PASE acts in an advisory capacity to our Principal and Pastor. All parents and guardians of St. Edward's School students are encouraged to join PASE, attend the monthly meetings-and above all, to get involved in their children's education!

Our 2021-2022 fundraising goal is $100,000. 
There will be numerous events and fundraisers throughout the year. We know that there is something for everyone...we hope you will find what is just right for your and your family to enjoy!

Protocol for School Emails & Flyers

Any correspondence going out to the school community, regarding fundraisers and events, must be sent to pase@stedwardconfessor.org. We will then obtain the appropriate approval before being distributed to classes.  All flyers being put onto the website must be sent in PDF format.

As always, we thank you for your support.  If you haven’t had a chance to work on an event or help behind the scenes, please consider getting involved.  It is a great way to meet some of our school families, and maybe even make some lifelong friends.  It takes a village to help make our school great!
