What is the Home School Association(HSA)?

The HSA is made up of the Pastor, Principal, and school parents 
to serve as the primary fundraising arm of the school and to 
promote a strong sense of school and community spirit.

Where does the money from our HSA fees go?

Each school year, the Advisory Board of the School, in 
conjunction with the Diocese, is responsible for setting the 
operating budget for the school.  Part of that operating budget 
includes a specific number which the HSA is responsible for 
raising.  Any additional monies raised during the year is used 
for other school related needs.

Does money raised by HSA fundraising efforts stay in the school?

Absolutely!  All of our fundraising efforts stay within St. 
Joseph School.  In years past, in addition to help balance the 
annual budget, we have been able to purchase a number of items
(computer lab materials, chairs, new windows, etc.) to enhance 
the education of our students.

How can I get involved?

There are a number of ways to get involved to support our HSA 
efforts.  Participation in our fundraisers is a great way to 
support our school.  If you would like to volunteer for an event, 
please contact Mrs. Lanni or Christine Sigillo at cwsigillo@yahoo.com .
