Community Resources
Parent Committees
The Church of the Epiphany Day School has an active and devoted parent body. We welcome parent involvement and there are many ways for you to become an active participant in your child’s school experience. In addition to visits to the classroom or volunteering at school events, parents can play a larger role in the daily life of the school by joining one or more of our Parent Committees. CEDS Parent Committees are composed of parent, grandparent, or caregiver volunteers who are committed to supporting the school through the donation of their time or resources. Parents, grandparents, and caregivers are invited to participate in the areas where they feel they can contribute most.

Children Are Not Colorblind Article
There is a myth in popular culture that young children are “colorblind” or don’t notice race. By this logic, children are “blank slates” who cannot develop racial prejudices until they are explicitly taught to do so.
