REASONS TO GET INVOLVED
- Your child benefits. When families get connected to the school, children do better. Research shows children whose parents are involved get better grades, do better on tests, and have fewer discipline problems at school.
- We make a difference. Our mission is to create the kind of school community where teachers and administrators can do their best – and so can our children. We provide support for teachers in and out of the classroom. We help to provide the resources they need. And we try to build the kind of supportive, caring atmosphere that makes school fun.
- We pledge to honor your time constraints. People are often reluctant to participate because they’re afraid they’ll get pulled into a black hole of never-ending time commitments. That won’t happen here. We won’t push you to commit more than you want or are able to. It’s OK to say ‘no’ when you’re busy.
- We have fun. Volunteer work shouldn’t be drudgery. We accomplish a lot, and not everything we do is easy. But we know we’re not balancing the national debt, either. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we try to enjoy ourselves along the way.
- Meet nice people who share your concerns. We care about creating the best possible educational experience for our children. We are neighbors and peers who share many of the same experiences. And many friendships have developed as a result of those connections.
- Your help is always needed. These days, schools are asked to do more with less. Our help is needed more than ever to fill the gaps.
