St. Francis Catholic School Home & School Association is more than just a parent-teacher organization. It is an essential component of the success of our school, proving every day that we are a community that makes Stewardship a way of life.
Our parent/staff organization is responsible for many events, fundraisers, and resources throughout the year. This includes Lunch on The Lawn, Harvest Ball, book fairs, student parties, appreciation events, Memory Books, Fun Fest, uniform sales, a variety of community fundraisers, and much more.
We communicate through Friday folders, email, the website, and Facebook. A list of H&S officers and committee chairpersons is printed in the school directory. Please refer to the St. Francis Catholic School website and Facebook Page for information about activities and stewardship opportunities. Each family is required to fulfill 20 stewardship hours during each school year, and H&S provides unlimited ways to earn the hours.
H&S meets several times per school year to provide an opportunity for parents, teachers, and staff to gather and communicate about what is going on at our school. At each meeting attendees draw for a non-uniform pass- guaranteed to make some lucky kid very happy! Attendees earn stewardship hours for attending H&S meetings.
Home and School Association Bylaws
There are many ways for families to fulfill their Stewardship hour requirement. As stated in the St. Francis Catholic School handbook, “Stewardship hours include any activities that assist the growth of our youth from St. Francis Catholic School or the parishes. Parish activities included are Vacation Bible School, sacramental preparation, Children’s Liturgy of the Word and teaching Faith Formation classes.” No matter what your family’s schedule, whether you have younger or older children, or whether you work or stay at home, there things you can do to participate in your child’s school community. If you don’t see an opportunity listed here that seems right for you, or if you need further explanation of anything listed- please call one of the Home & School Officers and we’ll help you find a way to fill your twenty hours!
