When my children were young (& yes, they went to public school) I belonged to a 'praying group of moms' and every week we would gather together at one of our homes to lift up the school, our children, the teachers, the administration, the school board, etc.
We also gently insinuated ourselves into the workings of the school......being first to volunteer for events, or helping the teachers....or even taking cookies on special days of the year...to show the teachers and administration we were there to support AND that we prayed for them.
However, if and when there were circumstances that alerted or alarmed us about the school..... the administration would hear us out, and usually take action to correct ....whatever was the problem....because we were visible & they knew we were serious.
We prayed constantly....
...and our little group was actually part of a larger well known praying group in our nation.
I realize schools have changed greatly since my children have grown.....but they need prayer more than ever!
I did pretty much the same. Home room mom; field trip chaperone; Library aide; Cub Scout and Girl Scout leader. I was always “around” but in a “helpful” (but to me watchful!) way. Youngest is 16 and I’m economically stuck in retail Hell because that was the only type of even parttime job I could hold and be a volunteer.
I have a one year old granddaughter, and my daughter is building a work from home career so she can do the same:)
