When your child joins STS, so do you!
When your child joins STS, so do you! Suddenly you have access to this whole network of other parents who genuinely care about making the school experience incredible. You’ll meet parents organizing fundraisers, yes, but also parents bringing slow cookers full of food to Saturday rehearsals, parents painting set pieces, parents who just show up because they want to be part of it. There’s room for however you want to be involved.
About the Parent Organization
The Parents’ Organization of Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School (POSTS) was founded to give purpose and structure to parent involvement at the school. For decades, parents, guardians, and grandparents have contributed to building what STS is today, and POSTS channels that energy into meaningful support.
The organization coordinates signature fundraising events like the biannual Black Watch Gala and Spring Fling, which provide essential resources for the school. But POSTS also manages the countless details that make school life run smoothly—when the middle school stages a production, POSTS volunteers fold programs, organize costumes, rent and deliver equipment, decorate the theatre entrance, and coordinate meals for cast and crew during rehearsals.
Getting Involved
Involvement with POSTS is entirely optional and completely up to you. All STS parents, guardians, and grandparents are welcome to participate in whatever way fits your life. There’s no expectation or minimum requirement! These are simply the ways parents choose to engage when they want to be involved.
Event Volunteering
Shape the direction of POSTS by serving on the executive team. Members organize resources, maintain school communications, and coordinate major initiatives throughout the year. Executive positions require ongoing commitment but offer meaningful involvement in how parent contributions support the school.
Executive Leadership
Contribute to specific events throughout the year—productions, galas, fundraisers, and recognition celebrations. Event volunteers handle logistics, coordinate details, and help ensure each occasion runs smoothly. Time commitment varies by event, offering flexibility for busy schedules.
Project-Based Support
Lend expertise or time to specific projects as they arise. Whether organizing costumes for a production, coordinating meals during rehearsals, or bringing particular professional skills to a school initiative, project-based involvement lets you contribute when it aligns with your availability and interests.
Community Connection
Attend POSTS events like the Black Watch Gala, Spring Fling, and Cup of Gratitude volunteer recognition. Build relationships with other families, support fundraising efforts, and stay connected to the parent community without ongoing volunteer commitments.
