MHR Parents Club
"Lifting Up Teachers. Celebrating Students."
We Need Your Helping Hands!
Our Parent Club events wouldn’t be possible without the time, talent, and generosity of our amazing parent volunteers.
Throughout the school year, we rely on families to help bring our events to life—from setting up Field Day to serving breakfast during Teacher Appreciation Week, and everything in between.
​
How to Get Involved
Volunteer opportunities are listed below. To signup, please fillout the SignupGenius that SAB will be sending within the next week.
​
Each committee will need 2-6 volunteers (except Room Parents). Signing up for a committee will fulfill your yearly MHR volunteering commitment.
​
Parents Club meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month in the convent. Depending on your committee, you will be asked to attend a few of the Parents Club meetings, but also be expected to organize your own meetings per your committee.
​
Each committee will be given general guidelines about their events and a budget. From there, you will be completely responsible for your events.
​
Please note that you if sign-up for a committee and do not show up to the required planning meetings, SAB will be informed that you did not meet your obligation.
