FAMILY SCHOOL MOST DEFINITELY HAS THE BEST VOLUNTEERS!!! So grateful for our whole Crew… 💝

🎓 It’s the 29th Annual Public School Volunteer Week (April 20–24, 2026), and we are taking a moment to celebrate the incredible people who make our schools shine.
Volunteering is more than just "helping out"—it’s a powerful form of family engagement that builds trust and connects our classrooms to the heart of our community. From strengthening the bond between families and educators to fostering a positive school culture, our volunteers are the backbone of student success.
To all 4J volunteers: Thank you for your time, your talent, and your shared ownership of our students' futures. Because partnership, our schools are stronger than ever! 🤝📚

Congratulations to one of our amazing parent volunteers! The parents at Family School have a huge presence and a lasting impact!
Lucia in particular has been a huge presence for many years and helps in every grade level classroom, attends field trips and even helps with our social media pages like this one! Thanks Lucia and to all our amazing parents! We are Family School!
