Volunteering

St. Patrick’s parents are encouraged to share their time, talent, and treasures with our school community. Whether it is helping students publish books in the Lower School Publishing Center, shelving and checking out books for students in the library, making sandwiches and soup with a class for Grate Patrol, chaperoning a field trip, serving as a room parent, or working on an auction committee, opportunities to volunteer and to be a part of St. Patrick’s school life are abundant. Without parent involvement in the school, St. Patrick’s would not be the same place. We rely on parents in so many ways and encourage you to find your big or small way to make a contribution.

“I started volunteering even before my older children went to the big library. The library has always been a place that is welcoming and comfortable for St. Patrick's students. Watching the students, and my own children, move from the easy picture books through the weighty research tomes, retaining their love of books and the library, is a joy. It offers all students, big and small, an opportunity to explore. The volunteer work is fulfilling because the volunteers are necessary to make the library work. If the books are not on the shelves, they are of no use. I now am able to watch my youngest child and her friends begin their exploration of the library and see their excited faces when they enter through the doors.”
