Purpose of HSA

Welcome to our 2010-2011 school year! Please read our Back-to-School Letter. We are very excited about being on the St. Andrew Apostle Home and School Association (HSA) Board this school year. The 2011-2012 HSA Board consists of both new and returning members who look forward to working with all students, parents, and teachers to strengthen the St. Andrew's community. Although we are the board, we represent you the families at St. Andrew and it takes our joint collaborative efforts to meet our financial obligations and give additional monies to our school and children. Last year HSA generated $54,000 to support our parish community.

Membership is open to any parent or legal guardian who has a child enrolled in St. Andrew Apostle School.

What are HSA'S major responsibilities?

• Raise $30,000 annually to fulfill our financial obligation to the Parish. This goal can be met if all members participate in our fund raising activities. Any funds raised in excess are given to the School, Rectory, School Board, etc. to be used for extra projects, equipment, or materials that will benefit our children and our Parish.
• Supervise the Parent Support Program ("Volunteer Hours"). As part of tuition, each family with children attending St. Andrew's School (K-8) is required to pay HSA $50 by September 25, 2010 and work 25 volunteer hours per year, the equivalent of $375 (or pay $15 for each hour under 25 hours worked).
• Offer a hot lunch service.
• Provide support to the teachers in the form of start-up money to set up their classrooms, hot lunch coupons and Christmas bonuses. Volunteers also organize a Teacher Appreciation Luncheon in December and Teacher Appreciation Week in May.
• Sponsor family events such as Halloween Parties, Breakfast/Lunch with Santa, Secret Santa Shop, and Movie Nights.
• Hold meetings of interest to its members at least four times a year - see the 2010-2011 HSA Calendar for meeting dates (generally the second Tuesday of each month). All meetings will be held in the multi-purpose room.
