All Louisville parents are members of the Parents Guild which supports the work of the school and provides for the needs of the students and faculty. Parents Guild meetings are held every other month at the school beginning in September.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
The Parents Guild is a service, support and fundraising organization. Your participation is necessary for the success of Louisville events. Activities sponsored by the Parents Guild are listed below and parents sign-up to volunteer for these activities at registration.
