The new line-up is ready to roll! The new HSO officers have been elected and the classroom representatives chosen. Please welcome and support the ladies who are stepping in to lead us to victory throughout the 2010-2011 school year!
The new HSO President is Maria Bakner. Maria is not new to the HSO team and has been a huge assest in previous years as a co-treasurer and one of our top donation solicitors.
The new Co-Vice President is Kathy Bourdeau. Kathy will be teaming up with Colleen Bratcher in this position. Kathy has also been a large previous contributor to the HSO by holding a classroom representative for many years. Outside of the HSO, she is the St. Andrew Parish Music Director and has substituted for the school music teacher, Mrs. Smedley, when needed.
Maureen Bowman will step into the Co-Treasurer roll alongside of Missy Bonner. Like the first two ladies, Maureen has been a strong supporter of the HSO team and has held classroom representative positions in previous years.
The Home School Organization (HSO) is the equivalent of the PTA in public schools. The officers are elected and serve a two year term. The classroom representatives are volunteers who are appointed and change annually. The HSO plays an important roll by working to plan and execute fundraisers which provide so many extras for the children and the school. Our fundraisers also help to keep the student tuition from rising which is something that we can all appreciate! Special events such as holiday parties are also fun HSO meetings are held monthly. Our board members and class reps are asked to attend each meeting. All parents and guardians are welcome and encouraged to attend.
