A Parent Led Organization Enriching The Community Supporting Our Keiki
WHO WE ARE
Friends of Waiʻalae School (FWS) is a parent-led volunteer group that partners with the school to build community, support teachers and staff, and create joyful experiences for our keiki and their families.
We plan school events, fundraise, share helpful information, and make space for families to connect. Our goal? A vibrant, welcoming community where everyone feels seen, supported, and involved—whether you have 30 minutes or 30 hours to give.
WHY GET INVOLVED?
It’s easier than you think!
Most roles are small and flexible, from a one-time task or join a team. No experience needed.
Be part of the village.
Meet other families, use your talents in meaningful ways, and help create the kind of school community we all want for our Keiki.
Every bit counts.
You don’t need to do it all. Just pick one little way to contribute. Together, it adds up to something big.
CURRENT FOCUS

Our biggest event of the year is coming—and we need your help to make it magical! From game booths and food to signs, set-up, clean-up, or raffle coordination, there’s a way for everyone to join in.
Let’s cultivate community —one small role at a time. 🌈
UPCOMING EVENTS
READY TO JUMP IN?
Connect Within Your Grade
Be the bridge between your child’s grade and the FWS community. Share updates, coordinate activities, and pass along volunteer opportunities so families feel connected and informed. We’re looking for 2–4 parents per grade to help keep the sense of community strong all year.
Help with Events
Join the crew that brings our events and fundraisers to life. From Fun Fair and Talent Show to hikes, coffee hours, and clean-ups — there’s a role for every schedule and skill. You can pitch in for a single event or step into a leadership role like Co-Chair, Events Committee, Communications, Treasurer, Secretary, or Fundraiser Lead.
Join & Stay Connected
Be part of the conversation and help shape what’s ahead. Our monthly meetings are open to all — a chance to share ideas, hear what’s coming up, and find easy ways to get involved. Together, we keep our school community thriving and connected.
