[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're a new family, DS will start ninth grade in the fall.  Is there a Momfia in the upper school and are new mom's able to volunteer in leadership roles?[/quote]

I guess I would say the two choices aren't either "Momfia" OR getting a "leadership role" right away.  As people have said, the day-to-day parent involvement is less, but the Parents' Association runs some big events (the Christmas House Tour is a big fundraiser to benefit faculty, that's the biggest one) and it seems like there are lots of opportunities to volunteer and if you're willing and capable people will rely on you more and more.  You could also get involved as parent volunteer for smaller organizations within the school, like teams, or the chorus (I think parents help chaperone the foreign Chorale trips that happen every 2-3 years), and I'm sure you if you have the time and inclination your help will be eagerly accepted.  Welcome to the school, hope your DS has a blast and that you enjoy meeting the other families.  (This is a bigger entry year than normal, I believe, with higher than expected yield, and I think almost a third of the class will be coming in new as 9th graders.)[/quote]

Thank you very helpful! [/quote]
