Parent Core Group

Rafflemania

The Parent Core Group of Raymond's Iber Holmes Gove Middle School (IHGMS) is an organization of parents and teachers working together to sponsor events, provide extra supplies and items to the students and school which are not covered by the school budget.  Yearly we provide field trips, assemblies, teacher/staff appreciation luncheon and the eighth-grade step-up cookout for our high school bound students. Our goal is to supply teachers with requested items they need. In the past few years, we have sponsored:

  • funds to hold a two-week celebration of literacy and math, in connection with Read Across America and Pi Day (March 14th) with daily contests, trivia competitions, all-school spelling bee and pi recitation contest
  • healthy breakfasts for all students during state-mandated testing weeks,
  • school equipment, including school sign in front of the gym, two-way radios for teachers, science equipment, waders for the Lamprey River science unit, iPad charging units, and various supplies (recently for the Media Center, Health Classroom, Math Interventionist, Reading Interventionist)
  • new scoreboard for the gym and basketball program,
  • volunteers for the School Nurse for dental and vision screening, Art teacher for the Deerfield Fair setup, Music and Health classrooms
  • playground equipment, including the pavilion and the gaga pit (dodgeball)
  • raffle for students for assessment testing, with tickets given for: using time wisely, using scrap paper for problem solving, and double-checking answers -- rewarding how students take the test,
  • after school “Paint Nights”, "Cookie Baking", "Cupcake Decorating", "Zumba", “Yoga”, “Sudoku/Puzzles” workshops open for all students,
  • author visit for seventh grade to tie into their curriculum,
  • and various other requests.   

Also, PCG meetings act as a voice between parents and school administration and faculty.  The IHGMS principal is a regular at our meetings.  Teachers are involved with the planning and activities.
