CIDA - Claddagh Irish Dance Association
(McGrath Academy's Parents and Dancers Association)

We respectfully request that parents take membership in our non-profit association. The association is needed to support events, event planning, performances, fundraisers and competitions. Without volunteer help from our parents, many of our activities and opportunities might not be available. Each year any volunteer(s) from our association will provide direct liaison for scheduling activities and contacting other parents in the school.
