HSA Updates
 
In light of the current situation, the HSA has made the decision not to do an end-of-year collection. Instead, please consider a personal thank you to your teachers for all of their amazing work this year. 
 
A Year in Review from Jess Jones, HSA President (2019-2020)
 
Even though our year was cut short, the Home and School Association had a great year; and we couldn’t have done it without our entire school community. On behalf of the entire HSA Board, I want to extend a very sincere thank you to everyone who volunteered their time and talents this year. Since we weren’t able to hold our general meeting this week as planned, I’d like to share a brief recap of what the HSA has accomplished with your support:
 

• Supporting and thanking our teachers with lunches and gifts including the back to school lunch, Christmas dinner and organizing the school-wide Christmas gift collection.

• Welcoming new families to the SMM community through our sponsor families and new family social.  

• Events to bring the community together such as the food truck festival, ice skating night, father/daughter and mother/son events, and trivia night.

• Hosting a middle school dance (another huge THANK YOU to all the volunteers who helped make this event a success). 

• Our bi-annual auction was a big success raising over $57,000. 

• Fun student events like the secret Santa shop, pancake breakfast, shamrock shakes and Chick-Fil-A grab and go lunches.  

• Organizing the safeties who greeted you every morning at drop off.  

• Used uniform closet and spirit wear sales.

• Supporting curriculum with classroom events such as visits from Winterthur and the Delaware Nature Society, field trips to the St. John Neumann Shrine and the Museum of the American Revolution, and bus transportation for several field trips.

• Contributing to the cost of our new Jelly bean mulch. 

• Signs to celebrate our graduating 8th graders (attached are pictures of Jack, Ryan and Theresa).

• Inviting Paul Sanfrancesco, National Technology Speaker, to present about children, technology and social media at the General Meeting on February 5.

 
I also would like to extend a huge thank you to the entire HSA Board. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes this year to make all these events happen and I really cannot thank them enough for all they did. If you know any of them personally or see them, please be sure to say thanks! And finally, a special thank you to Mr. Tiernan for his support throughout the year, and Mrs. Rossi for serving as a teacher representative on the HSA.
 
We are always looking for volunteers, if you would like to get involved, please reach out to any Board member or to me.
