Help Us Thrive

The majority of the FOM budget goes towards additional teachers and staff. This reduces class sizes and lowers our teacher-student ratio. It also helps us to avoid combining grade levels.

Many hands make light work.

Help us make Marquez a better school for our children and our community. 

There are so many opportunities to volunteer at Marquez! Whether you want to be in the classroom, behind the scenes, tallying budget spreadsheets, organizing parties, setting up the Halloween haunted house or designing spirit wear, there are endless jobs for all interests, abilities and availability. Please feel free to email us:

 

friendsofmarquez@friendsofmarquez.com or come to one of our meetings. We love fresh ideas and new faces!
