Parent Participation
Volunteer Opportunities
Office Support Staff: Smiling faces are needed to help file papers, make labels, make copies, answer the phones and greet those entering the Day School.
Classroom Helpers will assist preschool children in center time (“Open Door”), host parties, and provide basic classroom support as needed by teaching staff.
Teacher Appreciation: Our staff is the greatest and we love to organize breakfasts, lunches, and other treats to say “thanks” for their work with the children.
“Able Bodied Helpers” may find themselves assisting with picture days, petting zoo, walking children to class during the first days, or painting t-shirts!
Take Home Projects are available for those who have kid or work obligations that prevent them from coming to the Day School.
Do you play the guitar, quilt, scuba-dive? Bring your gear and talk to the kids about it!
Volunteering
All Day School volunteers must have a current background check on file with the Day School BEFORE volunteering with the children. These forms must be completed and turned in each year. Click the link for the volunteer form:Background Check MDS
Mission Opportunities
During each school year, the Methodist Day School provides the following mission opportunities for the children:
Fall “Food Train” – a food drive that benefits the East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry.
Toy Drive – held each December. Children present gifts that are donated to a local Title 1 elementary school.
Pet Fair – In conjunction with our annual “Pet Fair” (when our pets come to school!), children are encouraged to bring pet food and supplies which are donated to an animal shelter in our community.
Spring Food Drive – focuses on “kid-friendly” summertime foods such as peanut butter, macaroni and cheese and boxed juice. Food items are donated to the East Fort Bend Human Needs Ministry.
