Parental involvement is a strong predictor of a child’s overall success. The Waldorf School on the Roaring Fork offers parents a variety of meaningful opportunities to make a real difference in their child’s education, including volunteering to help with class activities and performances, going on field trips, and assisting with school-wide festivals and fund raising events. Parents are also encouraged to serve the school through collaborative work on various committees, or on our Board of Trustees.
Gifts of time and talent are just as important as financial support!
Each year, thousands of volunteer hours are logged by WSRF parents. Without the gifts of parents’ time, energy and expertise, our vibrant and connected school community could not exist.
In addition to class parents, there are numerous committees to support the faculty & larger community. These committees provide meaningful opportunities to volunteer in a way that can fit your schedule and skill set. Some committees support a single event while others are active throughout the school year.
