Volunteer With Us

Fondren Middle School thrives thanks to the support of our dedicated families and community partners. We believe that when schools, families, and communities work together, students succeed. Volunteering is a powerful way to make a positive impact on our students’ educational experience — whether it’s assisting with school events, mentoring students, or providing classroom support.
