Friends School of Minnesota Blog

Friends School of Minnesota volunteers are amazing! They serve on committees, care for our community, run our gala, assist in after school activities, chaperone field trips, run the Friends School Plant Sale, support students’ reading, take photographs, work in the library, and serve in countless other ways to support the school.

Since 2002, we have recognized two to four volunteers with our Collins-Fieldseth Award for Exceptional Volunteerism. The 2013-2014 recipients are:

Ann Brady

For co-chairing the Community Care Committee, her work as a room parent, her help with sports coordination, and more. Thank you, Ann!

Anne Lippin

For co-chairing the Parent Involvement Committee (PIC), her role in community care, her work as a piano accompanist, her support of the after school music program and drama club, and more. Thank you, Anne!
