Home and School Association

Mission
The mission of Our Lady of Bethlehem School and Childcare’s (OLB) Home and School Association (HASA) is to encourage communications and foster relationships between OLB and its faculty and the community of parents.

Fostering a feeling of community among parents and faculty is crucial to providing the familiar atmosphere and excellence in education that are OLB’s hallmarks.

HASA Supported Events:
• Fundraisers (Fall and Spring Plant Sales)
• All Saints and St. Valentine’s Classroom Celebrations
• Staff Appreciation Luncheons and Gifts
• Secret Santa Shop
• May Crowning
• Family Picnic
• Community Building Events

Use of Funds Raised
HASA’s yearly $50 per family activity fee and funds raised support the costs associated with the events noted above. In addition, HASA funds provide items for OLB such as playground equipment and its upkeep, water filtration system components, basic facility improvements, classroom enrichment supplies and special programming, all which enhance the school environment for our students, faculty and staff. This $50 per family activity fee is included on your August billing statement.

 

All volunteers must have on file a BCI background check (and FBI if haven’t lived in Ohio for 5 years), and must attend “Protecting God’s Children” no matter how much or how little contact they have with children or youth, and no matter what time of the day or night they volunteer.
