Parent Volunteering Opportunities

Fontbonne Academy Parents Guild
All parents of current and past Fontbonne students are automatically members of the Fontbonne Academy Parents Guild. The goal of the Parents Guild is to foster friendship and fellowship while providing vital support to the school and the Learning Community.

The Parents Guild meets regularly throughout the year and sponsors a number of spiritual and social events, such as seasonal Liturgies, pot luck dinners, and Parents Evening Out. The Parents Guild also plays a critical fundraising role at Fontbonne through its sponsorship of two fundraising events: Evening of Stars and the annual Fontbonne Golf Tournament. In addition, the Parents Guild supports school-sponsored activities, such as Open House, Freshwomen Orientation, and the Admissions Office “Just One” Campaign.

Parents are encouraged to join one or more of the Parents Guild committees listed below:

Evening of Stars
Annual fundraiser generally held in March. Live/silent auction.

Golf Tournament (Annual Golf Tournament )
This committee plans the annual golf fundraiser.

Hospitality
This committee welcomes parents and prospective students/parents at all meetings and events and may also provide light refreshments for some occasions.

Admissions Ambassadors
New this year! This committee will work with the Director of Admissions to provide parent volunteers for Open Houses and school fairs and will help call prospective/admitted students and families.

Homeroom Parents
Each homeroom will have a parent who will be a liaison between the HR teacher, parents and the Parents Guild.
