[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are the best activities for a parent to volunteer for to quickly get into the life of the school?[/quote]

There seem to be lots of volunteer opportunities for the Christmas House Tour (big fundraiser for faculty that includes a tour of some nice homes; a big bazaar/craft sale thingie at the school; a lunch at the school for patrons who have bought tickets to the House Tour; and a faculty/parent dinner dance).  That's in early December.  Then, in the spring, there is the "Flower Mart" which is a giant bazaar/fair thingie to benefit the Cathedral, and parents at each of the schools volunteer for whatever the school is doing to make money at FlowerMart (I think St. Albans runs a tea-house?).  There is also a "Faculty Appreciation Lunch" in early June and lots of parents volunteer to decorate the dining room, help prepare and serve dishes, etc.

There also seem to be a fair amount of opportunities to volunteer in a team setting if your child is older -- for example, helping run the concession stand at baseball/football games, or helping with work when the school hosts tournaments in basketball/wrestling.

Welcome!  Hope your son really likes STA.[/quote]

I think if you start attending the monthly Parents' Association meetings you'll get a good ear to the ground re: volunteer opportunities.  [/quote]
