September 2007

What is the Home School Association?
We are an organization that consists of 12 parents, as well as the school principal, whose main function is to raise funds for the school and to increase school spirit. We meet the first Monday of each month and all are welcome. The funds we raise go toward teacher’s supply wish lists, teacher appreciation functions, supplementing school operation costs and playground and classroom upgrades. We try to plan events for your whole family’s enjoyment to cultivate a St. Ambrose "family".
