Every parent and guardian is a member of the St. Albert the Great Parents' Association! Our mission is to develop and sustain activities that foster fun, friendship, and faith for the children in our school and parish communities. We work to promote closer connections between school and home by encouraging parent involvement, and we strive to enhance the educational experiences of our children by supporting academic and enrichment activities in and out of the classroom. Our purpose includes working to build a strong school community by providing support and resources for the teachers, staff, and Administration of St. Albert the Great school as they help our children grow educationally, socially, and spiritually.

Volunteering for events and fundraisers is a great way to meet people, contribute ideas, become more involved in your child's school, make new friends, and have fun! All proceeds raised go right back into our children's school to assist with student & teacher resources, technology, assemblies, class trips, building upgrades, even new gaiter masks for all students & faculty! Sign up today and thanks for your help!
Gator Gear (formerly known as Great Gear) is back! Due to popular demand, we will be using the same vendor but the ordering options are new and improved! There will now be an online school store (see link below) and the option to have your order shipped directly to your address! So be sure to stock up on gym items, and purchase some old favorites (hoodies, pjs, winter hats, Proud Grandparent sweatshirts, etc.) with a new and improved PA logo! The deadline to order is October 11th and don't forget that Christmas is coming! https://geargator.itemorder.com/sale
We are waiting for approval from the Archdiocese (per the Department of Health) to hold our annual Trunk or Treat on October 30th! If permitted to have it, we will need MANY additional volunteers to ensure this event can occur following new 2020 guidelines! If you would like to assist, please use this Volunteer Form ( https://forms.gle/aeqKbF8Jypecqxy28 ) to sign up. If we do receive final approval, we will send out additional details and the ticket order form.
Remember that if you would like to volunteer at school events, you are required to submit the State Police Clearance and the Federal Child Abuse Clearance. These forms can be found on the parish website (see link below) and must be renewed every 3 years. Volunteers must also attend a Diocese Child Abuse Workshop, a Safe Environment Class, and complete an online survey regarding digital communication. See the attached letter below for additional information. Please contact Kelly Sherman at the Parish Center (215-947-3500 or kelly@satg1.org) if you have any questions about requirements or need clarification on the current status of your clearances.
