Community

“A healthy social life is found when
in the mirror of each human soul the whole community finds its reflection, 
and when in the community the virtue of each one is living.”

- Rudolf Steiner

Volunteer

Wishing Well School invites our community to participate in supporting our school through volunteerism. Whether you build picnic benches or chaperone field trips, guest lecture or bake, your efforts help build a strong sense of community and keep our school thriving.

In the Classroom

We value parent involvement and support of the Class Teacher. We know that many hands make light work; and, coming together with other parents to support special projects strengthens the classroom culture. Parents can help in many ways, such as: chaperoning field trips, volunteering for special class events, and working on a craft or sewing project. Additionally, parents in each class volunteer for these roles:

Class Parent

The Class Parent works closely with the class teacher. They help coordinate volunteers for field trips, events, festivals, support the teacher in various needs and tasks of the class, help organize classroom activities and projects, and, most importantly, support the families by cultivating positive classroom culture, communication, and relationships. There may be opportunities to collaborate with other Class Parents on section wide or school wide events.

Parent Association Representative

Each class chooses a representative to attend Parent Association meetings. The PA representative provides a point of connection between the classroom the Parent Association, helping to weave together the fabric of the whole. This role is a thread of communication, understanding, and shared goals between each class the activities of the Parent Association. It is one of the ways we ensure that there is consistency, connection, and community between and across the classrooms and our campus.

Parent Association

The parents who serve on Parent Association work together with the threefold mission to:

• Enliven all aspects of community life (family get-togethers, beach bonfires, off-campus activities, meal trains, life events);

• Support the faculty and staff (meals & seasonal gifting);

• Support the fundraising efforts of the school (Spring Gala & Auction; Give-back business partnerships; other events).

The Parent Association is open to the entire parent and caregiver community. Additionally, a Parent Association Representative from each class is asked to attend each Parent Association meeting. The work of and participation in the group is determined by the group of individuals that attend the meetings and embody the impulse of the families at the school at that time. The Parent Association is supported and led by two co-chairs.  Email here to contact the PA Co-chairs.

Meetings are always open to all parents/caregivers.
