Opportunities for Parental Involvement 

This section provides information about opportunities for parents to become involved with school activities.  

Our parents are actively involved with school activities through Booster Club, School Site Council, classroom volunteers and Rolling Reader volunteers. The Booster Club conducts fundraisers to purchase library books, computers, instructional materials, & playground equipment and provides funds for out-of-town field trips. School Site Council members have the opportunity to participate in the planning, implementation and evaluation of the comprehensive school program, evaluating and approving school budget expenditures. Classroom volunteers and Rolling Readers provide academic support to students and teachers. Thorner School is extremely proud of the number of parents and community members that volunteer in our classrooms daily.
