From The President of the Parents’ Association Dear Fourth-Grade Parents, On behalf of the Parents’ Association, I would like to welcome your entire family to the St. Mark’s community. We are so glad you chose St. Mark’s. As a parent of a Marksman, you are an automatic member of the St. Mark’s Parents’ Association. We are an active group of volunteers partnering with the Faculty, Staff, and Administration to support the boys’ education and development. Our parents participate on campus in a wide range of areas including the libraries, cafeteria, student store, Lions’ Closet, etc. There is a place for everyone. The St. Mark’s PA also organizes events throughout the year. A few to put on your calendar right now are: Lion Pride Night – an All-School Spirit Night, complete with a cookout and a DJ before our home football game on Friday, September 8. This will also be Lower School Spirit Night. Fall Fun Day – a school carnival held with Hockaday for Daisies and Marksmen in grades one through six scheduled on Friday, September 29. Celebrate – annual school community celebration scheduled for Saturday, April 6. To get involved in these and other events, you will volunteer through Sign-Up Genius. Please mark your calendar for July 17 after 12 p.m. to log on to the St. Mark’s website and click on the “Volunteer Here” button on the Resource Board. You will see many opportunities listed along with the activity description. When class lists are released in August, please return to the Resource Board for more class-specific volunteer opportunities.
