A Parent Advisory Committee has been initiated whereby parents are responsible for the coordination of particular school activities. We have a very active parent support group at St. Michael's School. Our parent support group is called The Friends of St. Michael's (FOSM). The Friends of St. Michael's is the informal parent group of the school. Our mission is to build and nurture a strong sense of family and belonging within the school community. All of our decisions are based on providing our children with a positive memorable experience at St. Michael's School. There is representation from this committee that serves as a parent liaison with the school council.
The organization involves all family members - children, parents, and grandparents - in the life of the school.

Goals
- Encourage parents to be involved in the school
- Promote "sense of family"
- Support fund raising efforts of the Council
- Be liaison group for more interaction between the parishes and the school
- Keep Auxiliary fund raising small and family oriented
We try to achieve our goal by organizing and supporting family focused social events such as the Fall Carnival, Christmas Concert, Skating Party and BBQ and Dance. There are many other smaller events, which we support and encourage.
In order to provide these events, we generally have one major fundraiser a year however this changes from time to time depending on the needs of the school.
Each year-end, we are pleased to give to the school, funds to buy items on their "wish list". In the past, items have been software and computers, sports and science equipment, and audiovisual equipment. We also contribute monetary support to the school’s extra curricular activities such as choir, field trips and athletic teams.
Parents please come to our monthly meetings and bring your thoughts and ideas. We are always looking for creative new ideas to help our children's school life to be enriched by your parental involvement in the school community.
