H.S.A. Overview The DeSales Home School Association (known at some schools as the PTA or PTO) is an organization made up of DeSales families, teachers, and administrators. Our primary purpose is to enhance the learning environment at DeSales by promoting school unity, supporting the home-school connection, and providing financial support to our school. Join us at our meetings, held in the school cafeteria at 7:00 pm on the first Tuesday of each month. In addition to committee reports and an update from the Principal, most meetings feature an interesting guest speaker, or a showcase of our children's talents. You can get involved by chairing or joining a committee, providing an extra set of hands, sharing ideas, or just listening. And you never know, you may just learn something new! As an added incentive, students in Gr. 1 -8 will receive an "Out of Uniform" day later in the month if one or both of their parents are in attendance! Students in K and full day PreK will receive an ice cream treat if their parent attends the meeting! And you can participate in our H.S.A. Parent Appreciation Program - at each monthly H.S..A. meeting parents will be entered in a prize drawing just for attending the meeting that night. Plus, for each time a parent volunteers at DeSales during the prior month (such as acting as a recess monitor, or helping out on a school event) you will receive an extra entry. At the end of each H.S.A. meeting, a lucky winner will be drawn! Each year the HSA sponsors two major fundraising events, a Cash Raffle in the Fall, and an Auction in the Spring. Participation by every family is essential, because a portion of the funds raised at these events is pledged to the school's operating budget. The success of these events has a direct impact on all of our families ....without these fundraising efforts,all of our tuition rates would rise dramatically! Get involved with your Home School Association - It makes a difference in your child's life! Home School Association Standing Committees
Cash Raffle – Chairmen: Tom and Jennifer Murphy The first of our two major fund raisers is held at the Tuscarora Inn in the Fall. Each $100 raffle ticket purchased gives you a chance at big cash prizes, including the grand prize of $5000! Each ticket also provides admission for two aduults to a fun party where the lucky winners are announced. Committee members serve as team captains to coordinate the sale of the tickets, and help with set-up on the night of the raffle. All DeSales families are asked to support the event by purchasing one ticket for themselves, or by selling a ticket to friends or relatives. Spring Auction - Chairman: Lynette Kroening This year's event is Sat., March 24, 2012 in our school gym! This fundraiser has something for everyone! FIRST you do your part to keep tuition costs down by selling your family's allotment of raffle tickets. Then you can help from home, you can help set up, you can help clean up, and most importantly, you can help gather gifts for the auction. After all the prep work is done you can invite some friends and relatives and come out and have a very entertaining evening! This event provides much-needed funds for our school and is also a whole lot of fun! Easter Candy - Chairman: Tuesday, June 19, 2012 - Help the kids enjoy their day of fun at the end of the year.

Scrip Program - Chairman: Kathy Good
Scrip is a wonderful fundraising program run by HSA. When
you purchase Scrip, you’re purchasing negotiable gift
certificates and prepaid cards that are used like cash. Scrip
is purchased at face value and each retailer gives DeSales
a discount, anywhere from 2% to 25% of the face value of the
certificate. Click here for Scrip ordering information. This free service provides gently used school uniforms for our students. Members of this committee help keep the donated items sorted and organized, and work to fill requests for items as they come in throughout the year.
