Mothers' Club

Welcome to the La Salle Mothers' Club webpage.

Our role is to support the La Salle community in the selfless spirit of Saint John Baptist de La Salle through community-building and fundraising events to promote the La Salle mission.

As a mother or legal guardian of a La Salle student, you are a member of the Mothers’ Club, and we warmly invite you to get involved by attending or volunteering at our events. It is a great way to meet and socialize with other moms in our school community. The high school experience passes quickly, and I hope you will join us in making lasting memories. We are hopeful for a more “normal” year.

You are invited to attend our monthly meetings which are listed on the school calendar. You can stay connected with the Mothers’ Club by reading the daily Bulletin, the weekly Explorer Express”, by visiting this area of La Salle’s Website, by joining our La Salle Mothers' Club Facebook Group, or by reading our periodic emails for details about our events and volunteer opportunities. Feel free to contact me with any questions via email at juliekwok@comcast.net

Please check out our Events and Registrations tab to view and register for our upcoming events. I look forward to working with you in support of La Salle and our sons.

Mother Son Service Opportunities

La Salle Mother's Club is happy to offer service opportunities for mother/primary caregiver and their sons to volunteer together at local charities to help feed the hungry and to serve individuals struggling with homelessness. Please contact Maura Jennings at maurajennings26@gmail.com if you have questions.

The Bread of Life Cafe

We will meet at the Bread of Life Community Cafe located in All Saints Episcopal Church in Norristown to prepare, package and serve take-away meals and cleanup.

Sunday Love Project

Mother/primary caregiver and their sons will meet in the basement of the Church of the Holy Trinity on 19th and Walnut to pack and serve meals in to-go containers and organize in-coming clothing donations and fulfill clothing requests.

Small Things

Mother/primary caregiver and their sons will meet at the Small Things's warehouse in Roxborough to pack boxes of food that feed a family of four for a week. Small Things distributes these boxes to community partners that distribute the food to the hungry.

Hub of Hope

Mother/primary caregiver and their sons will meet outdoors at the corner of JFK and North Broad Street to hand out to-go bags to individuals struggling with homelessness in Center City.

Mothers' Club Alumnae

Shared Treasures

Since opening in the fall of 2009, the Mothers' Club Alumnae Committee's SHARED TREASURES thrift shop has made over $60,000.00! Since all items sold at Shared Treasures are donated, the committee has passed on 100% of the proceeds to La Salle. In addition to financial support for students in need, the thrift shop affords our donors the opportunity to recycle gently used household items and clothing. Many thanks to all who have supported this endeavor with your time, talent, donations and purchases.

You will find fantastic values on a wide variety of home décor and gently used men’s, women’s and children’s clothing. The inventory and our SALES change often, so you’ll want to make a stop at Shared Treasures part of your weekly schedule. The shop is open on Wednesdays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and the first and third Saturday of the month from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

Volunteers are always welcome! Please email

sharedtreasuresLS@yahoo.com for more information.

180 Degrees

Won’t you please join our group of 163 moms in their support of 180 DEGREES for the 2018-2019 school year? With Tuition now set at $23,050, we need to enlist more mothers to meet our goal. We are very grateful to all of those who have so generously contributed.

Through 180 DEGREES we can make it possible for one more woman's son to have the same experience our boys were given.

Individually not much can be accomplished today with $100. Collectively the possibilities are endless. Please consider seriously donating to this important fund. If we can change one life 180 DEGREES we can change the world one La Salle degree at a time.

If you would like to join in this wonderful way to support the education of a young man, make a donation online using the link below or contact Mr. Daniel McGowan.
