GAPA Leaders

GAPA helps to improve the school's quality of life among its students, faculty, administration, and families through a myriad of ways. All Gerstell Academy parents are members of GAPA and are encouraged to volunteer their time, talent and treasures toward the betterment of Gerstell.

GAPA volunteers serve in many ways through varied committees such as, lunch monitors, field trip chaperones, library assistants and much more. Parents who are not able to volunteer during the school day may also provide "behind the scenes" support or by joining the Refreshments Committee.
