Dear FAW families: Welcome current and new FAW families to the

Dear FAW families:
Welcome current and new FAW families to the 2012/2013 school year and welcome to the Home and School
Association (HSA). The HSA promotes the active participation of its members and provides opportunities for
volunteerism, communication, the sharing of knowledge, social interaction, and fundraising. The HSA board
members look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with all of our FAW families. This letter is to share
some important information with you about the HSA's role in supplementing the operational budget of the
school.
The HSA is required to raise $60,000 to supplement the operating costs of the school, by sponsoring various
events throughout the school year. A l l families that choose to receive the Tuition "Service Scholarship" are
REQUIRED to perform 35 volunteer service hours during the school year (June 11, 2012 through June 12,
2013). Attached you will find a list of volunteer opportunities available throughout the year. Opportunities to
sign up for specific events will be provided by event coordinators as they occur.
The success of school events depends solely on the FAW community. A l l of our events foster school
community. Catholic Stewardship and an opportunity to bond with other FAW families. These events are
volunteer dependent and cannot be successful without your support. There are many opportunities to fulfill
your service hour obligation. Be careful not to wait until the last month of school to complete your 35 hours.
Those who do not meet this obligation, will be billed additional tuition and may not have the volunteer option in
future years.
This year we will be requiring service scholarship families to make a commitment of volunteer hours to
either Casino Night, the F A W Golf Tournament or the Spring Gala/Auction. These are our three big
events and we need as much support as possible to make these a success.
A few things to keep in mind regarding Volunteer hours:
^
¥
^
^
Coordinators/Chairpersons track their own hours; inclusive of time spent on legwork, paperwork
and phone calls.
8'^ graders may work events for their own required service hours.
ANY person 14 years or older and in high school can work for a family (this includes, brothers,
sisters, grandparents and other extended family and friends of the enrolled child). They must
sign in and note what family they are working for so the family can be credited.
No one under the age of 21 can volunteer at an event that is serving alcohol.
Attached is a list of events for which volunteer hours can be earned and those that do not receive
volunteer hours.
Please note that it is your responsibility to obtain the hours, sign in and out at each event worked, and make sure
they are reported to the coordinator of the event or the office for in school events. We also request that you
report A L L hours worked even i f you have reached your required amount. You will be provided an hours
report (on a quarterly basis) by the Volunteer Hours Coordinator, Jan Roell (iroell(S)md.i-netrocast.net). I f you
have signed up for an event please plan to work your entire shift even i f you have reached your minimum 35
hours.
I f you have questions regarding the volunteer hour structure or any other HSA matter, please contact any of the
board members listed below.
