They say that volunteers are the heart of any organization, and St. Andrew’s School is no exception. It is through our fundraisers and many family events that we can sponsor activities such as the children's winter event, craft night and Dessert with Dad. The children and parents thoroughly enjoy these events each year. We have many events and festivities that we need help with during the year. Below is a short description of some of the areas we hope you will consider lending your hearts and hands.

The Parents' Association
This is a group of volunteers who organize the school events on behalf of the school. Each event is chaired by 3 or 4 Parents’ Association members who then organize volunteers to help.

Class Moms
Each class, depending on its size, has 2 or 3 class moms. This is done on a volunteer basis and there is ample opportunity for everyone to volunteer if they would like. The year starts out with the class moms holding their own class coffee when all the parents can get to know one another. Here the class moms will discuss the school events and ask for volunteers to help. This is a good way of getting to know other parents.

Kid’s Coupon Book Fundraiser – September
A book containing many coupons ranging from restaurants, retail stores, children’s clothing, museums and much more! A valuable item to have, we’ve found this an easy and profitable fundraiser.

Giving Tree — November/December
The school contacts local organizations to inquire about the needs of underprivileged children. We then set up a tree with ornaments displaying the needs and wishes of these children. Children are never too young to help another child smile during the holiday season. 

Ornament Sale — December
Parents donate ornaments for the children to purchase for a dollar. The children really enjoy this exciting event.

Winter Entertainment — February - TBA
The Parents’ Association organizes a clown, magician, etc., to perform during the school day for all St. Andrew’s children to enjoy.

Pancake Breakfast— March
This is a fun event on a Saturday morning from 8:00am till 11:00am. Pancakes, sausages, juice and coffee are served. Many dads volunteer to cook the pancakes!!

Craft Night — March
This is an evening for the children. A different craft theme is chosen each year (e.g. a birdhouse) and the children make their crafts with a parent and take them home.

Spring Fling Fundraiser — April
This is a purely social event for parents and friends at school with fantastic food and delicious desserts. Family and classroom baskets, along with pro-sports tickets and vacation stays are raffled.

Dessert with Dad — May
This is an evening event for St. Andrew's School children and their dads (or other male figure) to come and enjoy ice cream at school. The children and the dads love this event, and the children love to see their school friends at night!

Teacher Appreciation Week — May
In conjunction with the nationally celebrated week, St. Andrew’s makes this a special week for our teachers. Members of the Parents’ Association organize a breakfast for all the teachers. The class makes a special project to present to each teacher as a way of saying thank you for all that they do.
