The Power of Volunteers
Parent/guardian volunteers are the key to keeping our community connected to one another and our school. We are deeply grateful to our generous families for helping with on- and off-campus activities and for inspiring support through the Fund for St. Anne’s-Belfield. The gifts of your time and your financial resources ensure that we remain strong in community and continue to provide an exceptional experience for our students.
As parent/guardian volunteers, you have the opportunity to welcome new families, directly support our student-athletes through the Saints Athletics Club and artists through the Arts Boosters, assist your child’s class, grade, or division through the PA, and inspire others to join you in getting involved and giving back to the School. We need your involvement as parents/guardians to ensure the success of the many events and programs, and support the performances and games that bring families and alumni to each campus throughout the year.
Whether you can give one hour a week or one hour a year, the impact of your partnership is felt by our faculty and staff and seen in the faces of our students.
