Overview
The
St. Hubert Family and School Association (FSA) is a volunteer
organization dedicated to serving St. Hubert School, its students, and
its staff. All of our activities are aimed at building school
spirit and pride. Here are a few of the many things we do to meet
these objectives:
For students, we offer
- Cultural Event Assemblies
- Christmas Santa Sale
- Hot Dog Week and raffle
For staff we
provide
- Funds for each teacher each school year
to improve their classrooms
- Several luncheons to celebrate school
year milestones
- Classroom aid program
- Birthday gifts
For parents,
we offer
- Enrichment activities, which have
included a Road Rally and movie night
- Speakers at the FSA meetings covering
topics such as Internet safety
- Discounts on Entertainment Books, Fannie
May, and Sally Foster products
FSA Donations
to the Parish
Each year FSA donates large items to benefit St. Hubert Parish.
Some of these items have included the new stage curtains and scoreboard
for the multipurpose room, new classroom desks, snd computer technology
upgrades for the school. In 2010, we purchased new tables for the
lunchroom and donated funds to assist in providing air conditioning for
the classrooms.
FSA Funding
To help fund these activities, we run monthly Market Day sales and various other
fundraisers. If you would like to become a member, you can join
for just $5 per school year.
FSA Volunteers
If you wish to volunteer, there are many opportunities, both during
school hours or in the evenings. You can offer as little or as
much time as you have available. We hope that each family will
volunteer in some way during the school year.
Heartfelt Thanks to our School Families
As we reflect on everything for which we are thankful, FSA would like
to extend its sincere appreciation for the support we receive from our
school families who volunteer and participate in our events! We use all
fundraiser proceeds to benefit the students, faculty and staff
regularly through student enrichment activities, teacher luncheons,
gifts for school classrooms, and much more. Some of the things we’ve
done recently with your help:
- Halloween Walk
- Veterans’ Day Assembly
- Entertainment Book Sale
- Jimmy John’s fundraiser
- The book fair
A special thanks to Claudine Gleeson for her beautiful and delicious
presentation of holiday foods at the FSA General Meeting held Nov. 17!
Book Fair Increases St. Hubert School Library Offering!
FSA thanks all school families for their generous support of the book
fair held during teacher conferences in October. Our wonderful staff of
FSA volunteers used the proceeds to update the school library with new
books and DVDs that the teachers and students requested. Our library
has more than 11,000 books, making it one of the best libraries among
all public and private schools in the area!
ROOM PARTIES
Each year the students enjoy
having a classroom party (room parties) to celebrate Halloween and
Christmas. These room parties are planned, organized and run by room
parent volunteers. The room parent volunteers also provide snacks and
drinks for the classes on Valentine’s Day. In order to make these
events possible, we are requesting that each student send in $12.00 to
help cover the costs of these parties. Please follow this link to download the Room Party Form.
Get Involved! Meet School Families! Build Spirit!
FSA invites all parents to join us in building school spirit and pride
by offering programs for school students and staff. There are several
committees that have open positions or are in need of leadership
shadowing for the 2011-2012 school year (see below). Volunteers can
dedicate as little or as much time as they have available. Plus,
volunteering is a great way to meet other parents.
If you are interested or would like to learn more, please contact Stacey Ruben at staceyruben@aol.com or Rochelle Treni at rtreni@wowway.com.
Halloween Walk:
There are currently two people (Maureen Ernandez and Michele Swiderski)
heading this committee. As you know this is a very big project
and they are looking for a third person to help out.
Welcoming:
At the beginning of the school year (typically on the day before or
first day of school) we host a welcoming breakfast for all new families
to answer any questions they may have. We are currently looking
for someone to head this committee.
Sally Foster Wrapping Paper: Ann Tripicchio is the current committee head and is looking for someone to shadow her in the 2011/2012 school year.
Used Uniforms:
We are looking for someone to head this committee. It involves
collecting used uniforms at the end of the year and putting together
the sale on Student Information Day.
Program:
We try to have some sort of a speaker at 2 of the FSA general meetings
every year. This year we had Claudine Gleason to an appetiser and
desert demonstration right before the holidays and then we had an
internet safety speaker come in February. We need a committee
hear to put these events together.
Membership:
This committee head handle all sign ups and due collections and then
puts together and distributes the FSA phone directory. At Student
Information Day you are responsible to taking in applications and dues
at the membership table.
Catholic Schools Week:
Paulette Hoppesch currently runs this committee and is looking for a
shadow for the 2011/2012 school year. This committtee helps put
together activities during Catholic Schools Week.
Santa Sale Co-Chair:
This committee coordinates the Santa Sale, where students are able to
shop for family and friends and learn about the joy that comes from
giving. This is a one-time event that takes place in early December
each year.
