Graduation Reception Organizer
1 person (who does not have student in graduating class)


In 2021-2022, there will be two graduating classes from Merion. Traditionally there is a small reception for the graduating students and their families following graduation. The graduations reception organizer will be responsible for ordering food and coordinating any needed volunteers to staff receptions for the 4th grade and 5th grade graduations.

Parent Social
2 people

The Parent Social Committee plans the annual social outing for Merion parents, which typically takes place in the spring. In the past, when we could join each other in person, it has been a fun night of music, food, drinks and fundraising with our silent auction. We recognize the uncertainty of gathering in person this year, and as such we are looking for committee volunteers to plan either a permitted in person event or a remote alternative. We currently have one person committed to assisting with the event. We are looking for two volunteers, one to chair the committee and one additional person to assist.

 Homeroom Parent Coordinator
1 person

The Homeroom Parent Coordinator solicits volunteers from applicable classrooms to serve as primary liaisons for teachers throughout the year. The coordinator also provides the room assistants with duty responsibilities from both the HSA and the teachers. Timing: Solicitation and coordination of volunteers occurs in September/October of each school year.

MLK Day of Service
2 people

LMSD holds an annual Martin Luther King Afternoon of Service in which HSAs and other groups organize hands-on community service projects and activities that embody the message of Martin Luther King Jr.’s teachings. Each school sets up a table with an activity or organizes a community service project. The in person event takes place at Harriton High School. The chairs plan the activity or project, gather any needed supplies, and staff the event. If the event is virtual, the chairs plan and execute the virtual event.

Spring Fair
2 people

Merion’s Spring Fair is an annual tradition that takes place in late May/early June each year. The fair brings Merion families together for games, activities, food and prizes. At this time we are uncertain if we can have an in-person fair, but we would like the staff the committee nonetheless. We have three people, including a chair, committed to this event. We are seeking out two additional people to assist.
