Parent volunteer opportunities in ms/hs

The other thread got me thinking, as many of you mention volunteer opportunities at your children's schools in ms/hs.

What opportunities exist?

Girl Scouts is not school sponsored

In my schools parents are not allowed to chaperone any club or dance or school related thing in MS or HS.

It is limited in MS and HS but our PTA does a breakfast once a year for the kids, book fair and they run the school store. All other activities are fundraising and just done with adults. Teams might ask for parent participation though.

I know between my district and a few surrounding ones chaperoning trips, booster clubs, pta fundraisers, help build the homecoming floats. In the district where I worked they did a prom boutique, did sales at all sports games, organized a fashion show fundraiser.

It's the coalition against substance abuse. They do a lot of work to prevent alcohol and drug use among teens in our area. A lot of fundraisers, drug awareness and education.

That's interesting.

Every hs I've gone to/worked at kids did the floats and only teachers were able to chaperone trips/run clubs/chaperone games.

Thanks for the answers everyone!
