Montgomery School Community Association (MSCA)

A Homeroom Parent/Grade Parent is someone who volunteers to assist the teacher in coordinating field trip chaperones, class party volunteers and shares necessary MSCA/School and classroom information with parents. This individual also assists in seeking a volunteer to host the grade social. 

Volunteers work to improve the Montgomery School property through seasonal plantings and grounds’ upkeep. Gardening experience is not required. This group plants containers and decorates the outdoors for the various holiday seasons and school events and tends the gardens and containers throughout the year (weed, plant, prune, fertilize etc.). Work schedules are flexible.

Volunteers maintain inventory at the community’s gently used uniform shop. The Montgomery Rack is located in the cottage building next to the farmhouse. Donations of clean, good quality uniforms, gym clothes and concert attire are accepted at any time. The key to the “boutique” is kept at the reception desk in the farmhouse, and the honor system is used for purchases.

This fundraising event for the benefit of the school will be held at Applecross Country Club in Downingtown.

The Annual Benefit is Montgomery School’s largest fundraising event. It unites our community for a fun-filled night of entertainment, fabulous food, auctions and great company. The tremendous success of the Benefit is a direct result of our dedicated volunteers, who donate their time, skills and energy, and the generosity of the entire Montgomery School community. Involvement in this event is social, fun and extremely rewarding, especially when all the hard work will culminate into an amazing evening on April 25, 2020. Planning begins in the fall, with the largest number of volunteer hours needed in the winter/early Spring. Whether your commitment is to lead a Benefit Committee, offer your expertise or donate an hour of your time, we need you!
