There are lots of lots of areas of interest and ways to be involved at St. Edmond Catholic School. St. Edmond takes great pride in the fact that our students are very well rounded which shows in the variety of ways they become involved. Our students have the opportunity to participate in clubs, athletics, music and church in community all at the same time, if they so choose. We are proud of our students for the time they devote not only to their studies but in the ways they give back to church and community.
There are many ways our parents can help out too! We are always in need of volunteers, whether it be in the classroom, our Parent/Teacher Connection (PTC), athletic and music boosters or in volunteering for governing committees. We are thankful that our parents are such role models for their children. That is truly what makes St. Edmond such a special place.
Interested in one of the Governing Committees? Details of those committees along with the days they meet are outlined as follows:
GETTING INVOLVED AT ST. EDMOND
St. Edmond Catholic School exists, in part, because of our wonderful family volunteers. Our parents are very involved and help to make our school such a great place. By volunteering, parents find that it is a great way to get to know other families in the system. There are many things happening here. One great way to make a difference at St. Edmond is to get involved in the Quality Work Teams (QWT). These committees lay the groundwork for the future of our system to ensure the best education and environment for our children. These committees are listed below with descriptions and dates these committees meet.
