Your child benefits
When parents get connected in the school, children do better. Research shows children whose parents are involved, even just a little, get better grades, do better on tests, and have fewer discipline problems.
We make a difference
Our mission is to create the kind of school community where teachers and staff can do their best work – and so can our children. We provide support for teachers. We help create learning opportunities for our children. And we try to build the kind of supportive, caring atmosphere that makes school fun.
We respect your time
People are often reluctant to volunteer because they’re afraid they’ll get pulled into a black hole of never-ending time commitment. That won’t happen here. An hour or two, every now and then, really makes a difference. We won’t push you to commit more than you want or are able to.
Volunteering shouldn’t be drudgery. We accomplish a lot, and not everything we do is easy – but we don’t take ourselves too seriously and try to have fun along the way.
We have fun
We all have a common bond. We care about creating the best possible educational experience for our children. We are neighbors and peers who share many of the same life experiences. Many friendships have developed as a result of these connections.
