HOME and SCHOOL
|
The Home and School Association is the PTA for our children’s school and welcomes all parents to get involved. H&S is involved in supporting school activities such as: fundraising for teacher bonuses, welcoming new families, dine out nights, Trunk or Treat, BINGO for Books, book fairs, Catholic Schools Week, room-parent volunteers, school supplies, teacher appreciation, spirit wear… just to name a few. We are always looking for volunteers!! Almost every committee needs help in some capacity and chair shadows are encouraged. Don’t hesitate to reach out to anyone on the Home & School Board with questions, to offer suggestions, join in, etc. We are here for each other!

FUND-A-NEED: We invite our community to invest in the 2022-2023 Fund-A-Need initiative to support the development of life-long learners by enriching classrooms with enhanced technology and other items needed.
