Our Home and School Association is the Catholic school version of a PTA. We meet the second Friday of each month at 7:45 AM in the Community Room. Most meetings last about an hour. If you need to leave early, that is fine! We plan events, volunteer, brainstorm new ideas, and give feedback to the school on items they need us to. This is a great way to get to know other parents. ALL are welcome! Click here to learn more.
