GSA Parent Volunteer Opportunities 2025-2026

GSA relies on parent (and grandparent) volunteers in many ways throughout the school year. We encourage every parent to find a way to get involved! This not only enhances the GSA experience for our students, but for you as a parent as well. Please feel free to select as many opportunities as you would like!

Ongoing Opportunities

GSA Uniform Closet Organizer

We ask that the Uniform Closet Organizer come twice during their assigned month (dates/times are at your convenience!) to help sort, fold, and organize the used clothing items in our uniform closet. This task takes about 1-1.5 hours every two weeks.

Teacher Appreciation

There are three main opportunities that our Teacher Appreciation Committee has planned for our 24-25 school year. There will be opportunities in both the Fall and Spring for a special show of thanks. There is also an ongoing opportunity to supply snacks for the GSA Teacher Treat Tower each month.
