Geneva Parents Association

The Geneva Parents Association (GPA) was established by the Geneva Presbyterian Church in 1977.  It is a group of volunteer parents who meet monthly to discuss issues facing the school and plan activities that will create community among families to help enrich our children’s time in preschool and Kindergarten.  More specifically, the GPA serves as a liaison between the school and families, coordinates fundraising efforts and provides families with philanthropic activities in which to participate. 

All Geneva parents are invited to attend these meetings, which are generally held at school on the second Tuesday of each month at 7pm in the open classroom.  Please consider attending the meetings and sharing your ideas.

Rocking Horse Road Center

Geneva Day School, through the work of the GPA, provides help to the Rocking Horse Road Center which administers the Head Start program.   Head Start is a federally sponsored program which serves low-income children and their families.   It was originated to provide children with access to preschool programs to allow better preparation for school.  Now, it includes health and social services as well as parent education classes.

The Geneva Day School GPA and families have been donating clothing and/or food throughout the year for the past several years.  There are three main drives during the school year:  (1) September/ October: Halloween costumes (new or used), (2) November/December: coat/mitten, (3) Spring Break: non-perishable food.  Clothing and food donations are accepted any time outside of these time frames.  You can call the VP-Philanthropy, Virginia Horton (301) 469-4786 or Beverly Brown (Head Start) (301) 230-0690 to arrange a drop-off at the center which is located at 4910 Macon Road, Rockville, MD 20852.
