Throughout the school year, Home & School asks parents to help on campus for various events. Volunteering your time is a great way to support our STM community, meet other parents, and get a glimpse into your child’s life at school. We know work schedules can be tough to schedule around, so we have provided a list of some of these volunteer opportunities below. Take a look and find something that you can work into your schedule. The excitement on your child’s face when they see their mom or dad at school will make you so glad you did!

Please note that to take advantage of these volunteer opportunities you must be Child Protection Certified.

We are so grateful for STM Class Parents for the 2024 – 2025 school year! Each grade level has class parent volunteers. Class parents will be in touch throughout the year with opportunities for families to develop partnership roles in their child’s school life. For questions about class parents, contact Home & School Class Parent Coordinator Kayla Pollet.
Mission Day is a long-standing tradition for the students and faculty of STM. Every year in October, parents and faculty host a day of carnival-like games, fun and food, all to raise money for the charity of choice for the year. This is one of the biggest Home & School events of the school year and requires a large number of parent volunteers in various roles.
To volunteer on campus, you must complete Child Protection Certification. If you'd like to help from home, we have an Amazon Wishlist with items that help make Mission Day a success!
