Sign up to volunteer at sage ridge school

Sage Ridge School volunteers play a crucial role in our independent school community, as every hour spent is an hour given to enhance the experience for our students. Representing the pillar of COMMUNITY, Sage Ridge volunteers help create a collaborative environment and contribute to the school's success. Whether you volunteer for a Parents Association event or on a committee for our annual spring gala, every volunteer hour is a major contribution that positively supports our students and the Scorpion community. Please reference the volunteer requirements on this page before signing up for an activity.

Explore the volunteer opportunities below, organized by category, and sign up via a Sign-Up Genius or contact the opportunity lead via email to learn more. Volunteer needs will be updated often, so keep checking back for more opportunities. Thank you for giving your time, skills, and passion to Sage Ridge School! Our community is thriving and able to grow because of your Scorpion spirit and support.

PA: Trunk or Treat on Oct. 31

Ghostly greetings! It’s the most frightful time of the year. Sage Ridge students in grades 7-12 will host a Trunk or Treat on the Sage Ridge campus for our students in grades 3-6 on Thursday, October 31.

Think of Trunk or Treat as a Halloween tailgate party. Instead of kids going door-to-door to get candy, they walk through a parking lot and go trunk-to-trunk. The trunk of your car becomes your front porch.

Each 7th-8th advisory and each Upper School advisory will be the trunk decorators! Students will use advisory time to plan and prep.

Love Halloween so much, it’s scary? This year we are opening this up to our Sage Ridge community inviting athletics teams, extracurricular teams/clubs, parents and grandparents to decorate their cars for this event at 1:15 p.m. on October 31. Trick-or-treaters (grades 3-6) will arrive at 2:15 p.m. to be “treated” but beware of “tricks”—they vote on the best-decorated awards and prizes!

Parents and grandparents, it’s a guaranteed fun way to fulfill hours in the Family Involvement Program when you decorate your car! (Please provide candy or themed treats for 100 students in grades 3-6.) Click here to sign up and learn more!

PA: Veterans Guest House

Sage Ridge is on a mission to give back to the community this year by supporting our local veterans, in partnership with the Veterans Guest House. This local non-profit is committed to promoting the health of veterans and their families by providing a warm, inviting temporary home and access to the medical care they need. The PA Community Outreach Committee is seeking two families from our community to prepare dinner together for 24+ guests at the VGH on the first Friday of each month.

This is a fantastic opportunity to log some volunteer hours while setting a lasting example for your children. Volunteering will demonstrate the importance of the pillars of respect and community in a hands-on manner. Not only will your family prepare a hot meal, but they will have the chance to stay and eat with the guests, connecting with individuals who have sacrificed in service to our great country, protecting us and defending our rights. Many of these veterans have no family outside the guest house, and socializing with your family will brighten their day. What better way to thank these local heroes for their courage, strength and dedication to keeping us safe.

The Veterans Guest House has a full kitchen, completely equipped with all the pots, pans, crock pots, plates, bowls, serving utensils, and cutlery that you might need. You can bring dinner ready to serve, ready to heat, or cook it there, and dinner cleanup is completed by the Guest House. Please check out our Signup Genius for additional info.
