Home School Association
St. Mary's Home School Association (HSA) is the organization which
helps our parents and teachers acquire a profound appreciation of
the ideals of Catholic education. Its objectives include promoting a
clearer understanding of the mutual educational responsibilities of
parents and teachers.
All school parents are eligible for membership. General meetings
are held four times a year, while board meetings are held monthly.
Four parents as well as our principal and our Church's pastor
constitute the board.
Fundraising
Our organization is responsible for several major fundraisers each
year, including the Magazine Drive, Dream Auction, and Carnival.
The success of these fundraisers allows us to make improvements
for the school and provides cultural and social events to the entire
student body.
- Wrapping Paper Drive
- Catholic Schools Marathon
Our Fundraisers Include:
- Carnival
- Magazine Drive
- Dream Auction
Social Events
Throughout the school year, we hold social events for both the student
population and our school families. Some favorites include Turkey
Bingo, Father-Daughter Dance, Pasta Dinners, and Field Day.
Some of our social Home School
Association Programs are:
- Holiday Gala Craft Fair
- Hoop Mania
- Turkey Bingo
- Grandparents' Lunch
- Field Day
- Hospitality
- Hot Lunch
- Father/Daughter Dance
All parents are encouraged to become involved by volunteering
for both the fundraisers and social events. This gives parents an
opportunity to get to know other parents, while being an integral
part of the success of our school.
Other Responsibilities
The parents in our organization provide hot lunch twice a week to
our students. Many of our annual National Catholic Schools Week
events are supported by our parents.
