Old St. Mary’s School Parents Association Committees

Old St. Mary’s School’s success hinges on the contribution of time and talents of its parents through the many volunteer opportunities. Parents have many ways to be directly involved with the school, regardless of professional expertise or the amount of time they have to give.

Here is a sample of the many ways you can get involved and make a difference. This list will be updated throughout the course of the year as new opportunities arise (suggestions are most welcome!). The Parents Association has ample volunteer roles in community service, coordinating faith-building initiatives, and planning social and education events for parents and students.

Please consider one of the various ways to get involved!
