EFA

Epiphany Family Association

The Epiphany Family Association (EFA) sponsored events are a great way for parents to get involved, connect with other families, and help build a strong Epiphany community. Throughout the school year, we host a variety of fun events for students and families, including:

  • Back-to-School Nights
  • Parents Night Out
  • Halloween Celebrations for All Ages
  • Christmas Celebrations for All Ages
  • Radio Bingo
  • 7th & 8th Grade Dance
  • School Pride Day
  • Spring Carnival

We encourage parents to pitch in and volunteer at these events whenever possible. Volunteer opportunities will be shared through VolunteerSpot links in advance of each event. Whether you can help with setup, cleanup, or lend a hand wherever needed, your participation helps make these events possible and strengthens our Epiphany community.

All Epiphany parents and guardians are members of the EFA, and the annual EFA dues paid by all families help to underwrite the many special events and activities sponsored by the EFA.

Class Reps and the EFA Cabinet work together closely and communicate regularly to make it easier for all parents in the school to be active and informed.

The Epiphany School is blessed with an active parent volunteer tradition that makes all the difference in our community. A growing majority of parents volunteer in one or more activities each year.
