ST. BEDE SCHOOL

PARENT ASSOCIATION 

This volunteer organization assists the school in meeting its educational, financial, social/community, and spiritual needs by fostering a spirit of goodwill between parents, students, staff, and parish. It promotes excellent communication and understanding between families and school; provides a positive nurturing environment of mutual respect, enrichment programs and support to the school through active parent participation. Multiple volunteer opportunities are available for parents to be active members of the Parents’ Association. A strong visible characteristic of the school is the presence of its parents in different volunteer responses throughout the course of the day and beyond. All families are encouraged to be active members.

The St. Bede Parent Association hosts many social and fundraising events throughout the school year. These events help raise funds for student activities, assist and celebrate our teachers as well as bring our school families together to strengthen our community. PA events can be found on the Calendar of Events page and we also post our events on St. Bede School Facebook page as well as send paper and email communications to our families for events. Many PA events provide opportunities to complete your volunteer hour obligations and are a great way to get to know other families.
