What is Home and School?
The main objective of the Home and School Association is to promote school spirit among the parents, students, faculty and staff of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School. Home and School also helps to facilitate a sense of community among school families and to enhance communication between families and school. The Home and School Committee is comprised of four to six parents. Members serve for a three-year term.

How does Home and School operate financially?
Each family is asked to contribute annualy contribute $10 to help the association cover expenses. Money is also raised through some of the social events like roller skating parties and the Spring Fling. It is important to note that any excess money is given back to the school for the benefit of students and faculty. Home and School also contributes funds for the transportation budget for field trips and bus trips between the two school buildings.
How can I become involved?
Almost all Home and School events need volunteers for the event to be a success. You may sign up using the Family Dues and Request for Volunteers form you will receive at the beginning of each school year. There will also be notices in the Thursday newsletter asking for volunteers before the events. Volunteering is a great chance to meet other parents but mostly it is a lot of FUN! The Home and School Committee welcomes questions or comments - so don't hesitate to contact us!
