Getting involved strengthens not only the school community but also your personal connections. As N. Waldon of Paideia School in Atlanta, GA, shares:

"Your satisfaction with a school increases as your friendships with other parents increase. Many of my friends date back to my kid’s elementary grades, and we’ve all stayed close—so when our children are out with a gang of friends, we know who the gang members are."

At ESN, volunteering fosters lasting friendships that enrich both your family’s school experience and your life beyond it.
