I'm always the roomparent for at least one of my DDs' classes. I also volunteer in the classroom, library, and computer lab. I go to all the parties for my younger two and most of the field trips.
Before DS2 was older and DS3 was born I would help out at classroom parties, book fairs, and be a chaperon on field trips. I went to one field trip last year. I am not sure about this year though.
We have to volunteer at DS's school. You have to do lunch or recess duty, that's mandatory. If you can't, you have to pay a $50 fee or have someone cover it for you. (Yay private school. ha!) I also volunteer as the Technology Room Mom on Thursdays.
I volunteer as Art Docent, as well as what I consider the fun volunteer jobs. Every class party, I bring my camera (I'm a photographer), take pictures and put them on DVDs for the teachers. For school social events, I've volunteer to work a station. I'll also volunteer when they have research projects in the library. It's fun to help the kids find things in books and on the computer.
