Parent-Student Handbook The Prep 2019-20 Advancement Office Special Events Ways to Volunteer St. Andrew’s Schools strives to give opportunities to have each family give back to the school in its own way. Each family’s gift of time, talent, or treasure toward the school’s fundraising efforts is appreciated, whatever it may be. Each year, St. Andrew’s Schools works with the Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) to encourage each family to volunteer and participate at various school events and fundraisers as they are able. Parents are highly recommended to volunteer at school activities or special events throughout the year to become familiar with the special and unique traditions that St. Andrew’s Schools has to offer. Home for the Holidays A festive “friendraiser” for St. Andrew’s Schools is the annual “Home for the Holidays” event. Guests enjoy an evening of “Made in Hawaiʻi” holiday shopping, dining and music at an exclusive private residence. Local venders curate a variety of items for unique holiday gifts and handcrafted wreaths and decorated tabletop Christmas trees at the “Festival of Trees.” St. Andrew’s Schools’ performing arts creates a festive holiday spirit with caroling and music. Queen Emma Ball The annual Queen Emma Ball is St. Andrew’s Schools biggest fundraising event of the year and annually raise over $400,000 for student scholarships and financial aid. It is because of this event and the many generous donors who support it, that St. Andrew’s Schools is able to offer financial aid packages to families who want their children to receive a St. Andrew’s Schools education. Each family can support the Queen Emma Ball by volunteering at the event, donating or obtaining auction items, becoming a table sponsor, or making a monetary contribution. Alumnae The Priory’s alumnae support the school through participation in various school activities and special events.
