Contributing to the mission of the school can take many forms and can tie into a wide range of events and fundraisers. Gifts of time, talent, and,of course, money, all have value and are all deeply appreciated. Please take a moment to learn about the different ways you can give to the school and please be as generous as possible as you offer your support.
We are fortunate to have a rich resource of talent and dedication within our parent and extended community of friends. Tapping into this resource is essential to a wide range of school activities and needs.
Parents can get involved as room parents and as active participants in the Parents Association (PA). Through the PA, there are numerous opportunities to help organize and staff school functions and fundraisers. Ad hoc opportunities for classroom involvement abound and should be pursued directly with classroom teachers. Those with a special expertise or profession, or access to specialized resources and services through work or elsewhere, can often make important contributions to organizational needs that emerge over time. And, of course, there are opportunities to participate as Board Trustee, providing strategic oversight on the future direction and overall health of the school.
Those wishing to get involved with the school as a volunteer in any of these ways can reach out to the PA leadership, teachers, or to the Head of School to express interest. We can almost certainly promise that you will be put you to work in no time!
