Parents at Cobblestone School
A key factor to
the success of Cobblestone School is found in the
active participation, involvement and engagement of our
families. Parents are encouraged to engage themselves
in many of the activities at the school, including
those that lie at the center of the educational
program.
Volunteering
Classroom Visits: Helping
in the classroom supports the day’s activities with
teachers.
Field Trips: Accompanying the children to and
from field trips, including transport.
Mentoring:Meeting with students and explore
subjects of importance to them.
Presentations: Sharing your expertise, works,
and interests increases the value of learning.
Workplace visits: Inviting students to your
workplace to share and show what you do increases
interests and sparks excitement.
Work Parties: Helping around the school to
maintain the property.
Committees
There are many other ways to
participate in the activities of the school and
committees are also keys to supporting Cobblestone.
Members serve in various capacities and share their
talent and time. Committees range from Personnel and
Marketing and Development to Finance and Education. For
a complete listing of committees, along with committee
chairs, please contact the School Office for more
details.
Philanthropic Support
Believing in the mission
and vision of Cobblestone is one of the main reasons
why families enroll their children at our school. While
there are many ways to then participate at the school,
one of the critical means is raising philanthropic
support. This comes in many ways and includes one’s
annual gift along with helping to raise funds through
various events and activities. Here, parents
participate actively in organizing programs – from the
sale of Cobblestone clothing and apparel, bulbs and
plants to Family Fall Fun, Spring Fling and other key
events that attract families and other members of the
greater Rochester community. From all of our families,
we ask for their annual gift and then participation in
our range of fundraising events. Both are important to
our overall success!
