About CanaVox

CanaVox (www.canavox.com) is a cheerful marriage movement that uses organized study groups to reinforce timeless truths about marriage and human sexuality, to promote strong families, and to rebuild a flourishing society.

The CanaVox group for parents at Wilberforce is held monthly and is led by Nina Fitzgerald and April Readlinger. 

This year’s gatherings will focus on reading and discussing CanaVox’s newest book, Courageous Conversations. The April discussion is on Chapter Seven.

Quick Facts about Volunteering for School Lunch
  • School Lunch was started by parents as a fundraiser to support the school musical.
  • Every lunch is served to the students by parent volunteers.
  • Volunteering to distribute school lunches is a great opportunity to develop friendships and serve alongside one another.
  • Parents and students alike love the school lunch program, but we need your help.  Consider signing up for a volunteer slot.  Even just a little of your time helps a lot!

A Message from the Chair

Chair: Kai Jepson
Kai and her husband have five children, two who have graduated from The Wilberforce School, two in the Upper School, and one in the Middle School. They moved to the area seven years ago in order for their children to continue their education at a classical, Christian school through their high school years. Kai has served as a PTF Board member for the past five years, served as the Co-Chair last year, and is honored to serve as the Chair of the PTF this year.

Kai welcomes all families to attend and participate in PTF events, and to take advantage of the opportunities to serve throughout the school year.  She looks forward to getting to know you, and warmly welcomes you into deeper fellowship as part of our wonderful Wilberforce community.
 
Role of the PTF Chair: The primary responsibility of the PTF Chair is to serve as a liaison between The Wilberforce School and its families, and to oversee all aspects and affairs of the PTF, including providing volunteer opportunities for the Wilberforce community. The PTF Chair works with the PTF Board members to plan and execute community events including the New Mothers’ Tea, an annual Fall Festival, Book Fair, and PTF Monthly Gatherings featuring informative topics and engaging speakers, as well as fun activities and opportunities for fellowship. In addition, the PTF supports teachers and staff with weekly prayer, an annual Christmas Luncheon, birthday celebrations, and Teacher Appreciation Week. The PTF also supports monthly CanaVox discussions and monthly PTF Book Group meetings. The PTF Chair communicates the logistics of these events and gatherings to the school at large, bringing the community together.

I love the community here. It has been unbeatable for our family, for our child, and for me. It's like a family. It's not by accident; it's because of the school mission: to bring families and students together.
