Parent's Club Opportunities
The Parents’ Club is both a service and social organization. Our role is to support the SJA administration and encourage a strong parent community. We do this by volunteering and helping oversee many of the special events at the school. If you would like to volunteer your time, please consider signing up for one or more of the volunteer opportunities.

The academy gala
Saturday, November 14, 2026
Please contact Lindsey Hernandez to volunteer.
Volunteer roles would potentially require a 6-month time commitment, which includes monthly meetings. These various committees are the silent auction, live auction, sponsorships, food, decorations, marketing, acquisitions, etc. There is something for everyone! We NEED you!
Please join us; no experience is necessary. This is a fun opportunity to meet new families and serve the school.
SERVE DAY
Wednesday, March 24, 2027
Please contact Katie Walters with questions.
Serve day is student-created, led, and defended. It originated from a group of determined students who wanted to live true to the mission of our school: “virtuously in the service of others.” It has continued to be lived out each year since by the Student Leadership class, which organizes a day where both students and staff go out to serve our brothers and sisters in the greater Kansas City community. We would love for you to join us for this day!
Information about volunteering will be shared in the community update each spring.
