Parents' Assocation - HFSPA NEWS


HFSPA Meeting Info: 

 

All I can do is thank you for the time and effort you have put in to help with our efforts of bringing some fun for our kids into HFS.  If you have not been able to join us and help out at any of our events in the past, try to next year.  It is one of the best choices you can make.  It's a wonderfully satisfying way to spend a little bit of your time and to see you child(ren) enjoying themselves within our school.   

People have kindly commented over the years that they think I do a good job – my response to that is that the HFSPA is a community made up of talented hands and huge hearts wanting to enrich the lives of our kids; I've just been the mouthpiece.   I have the very great fortune of wonderfully supportive friends (and husband and daughter) who have extended themselves significantly over the past three years doing anything and everything  - from serving on the Board with me, making thousands of copies, decorating tables and folding napkins or making dozens and dozens of pots of coffee or just sweeping up after an event; I cannot tell you what their efforts have meant to me.  

Join the HFSPA at an event, you'll have fun and  may even find talents you had no idea you possessed – I know I did.

Thanks so very much for all your help and remember the HFSPA cannot function without you!

Box Tops for Education
Neatly clip those General Mills “Box Tops” coupons located on many General Mills products. Please send them to the school in an envelope marked “HFSPA: Boxtops”. Each coupon is redeemed for a cash payment to the School. Fun and simple. It is very helpful to her if the coupons are neatly trimmed as she needs to send them that way to General Mills. There will be ongoing collections throughout the year, so keep cutting! As a reminder, this promotion does not include Betty Crocker points or Soup Coupons.
Please be sure to submit General Mills “Box Tops” only, thank you.



Target - Take Charge of Education
Do you have a Target Card or Target VISA? Think about designating Holy Family (ID# 8078) as your school to receive cash rewards. School designation can be done by going to the Target website under “Take charge of Education”, when applying for the card, or speak to a customer service representative in the store. Every time you use your card at the Target store or online at www.target.com, Target will donate the equivalent of 1% of your total purchases to Holy Family School. Every time you use your Target VISA at any location, Target will donate the equivalent of 1/2% of your purchases Holy Family School. Payouts are sent directly to the school twice a year in March and September.
