for all members of the Mary Queen School community. All parents and guardians of current
students are members.
We encourage you to get involved because we need your talent/skill and value your time. There are many ways to get involved whether you have a little or a lot of time. We believe that by becoming more involved with the Mary Queen community, not only will the school benefit, but so will your entire family. We will achieve this community-building objective by providing various ways for parents/guardians to get involved by organizing and hosting a wide variety of activities to support Mary Queen.
