HSA Meeting & State of the School Summary
A Note from Mark Adams, HSA 1st Vice President
Greetings,
I would like to take a moment and summarize the key
points of Wednesday night’s meetings and the State of the School address for
those of you who may have missed it.
Before I do so, I would like to commend the efforts
and enthusiasm you have demonstrated getting “out of the gate” for the school
year. The participation has been very evident and the events we are
facilitating have been rewarding in many regards but most importantly the bond
it fosters among the families in the school is meaningful.
Thank you for your help.
Have a wonderful holiday season.
Mark Adams, 1st VP, HSA
Miscellaneous
Business:
- Anyone
who still has a KidStuff coupon book please return to the HSA as soon as
possible, or if you prefer you may purchase for $25.
- On
Friday, 12/28/12, doors opening at 5pm, the school is sponsoring a Pot-Luck &
Pajama Movie Night. The movie will begin around 6:30pm,
with the night ending around 8/8:30pm. Every family is welcome to join us
in the All-Purpose Room for the movie that will be selected by the
students. The tables will be
moved out of way for the kids to sit and stretch out on the floor. Please
bring something comfortable to sit-on and, if possible, some kind of dish
or beverage for the Pot-Luck.
- 1st
Quarter Assessments were sent home a few weeks ago. If there are any
discrepancies, please contact the Chairperson for the event the error is associated
with, so they can make the adjustments. The 2nd VP is only
tracking and issuing what has been reported to her. She can not make any
adjustments to hours or dollars raised. Those adjustments need to come
from the Committee Chairperson.
- Please,
this can not be stressed enough, sign in for anything you volunteer for.
All sign-in sheets are kept for the year. There have been concerns of hours
not recorded. Of those concerns, some were because of not signing in for
an event. You put in the effort for the event, please follow-up and make
certain your name is recorded. We want you to receive the credit.
- The Christmas Bazaar and Trunk-or-Treat were both a tremendous success. Thank you for everyone who participated and joined us.
