When your child enrolls at St. Anne/Pacelli, you are automatically a member of the St. Anne/Pacelli Home & School Association. The Home & School Association supports the school by:

• Encouraging parent participation
  
• Providing social activities for students, parents and faculty
  
• Raising funds for school enhancements
  

Major activities sponsored by Home & School include Teacher Appreciation, Fall Carnival, International Luncheon, Pastries with Parents, Breakfast with Santa and Grandparents Day.   Home & School also supports many school events such as graduation and open houses with refreshments and volunteers.

Various fundraisers are also held throughout the year to provide equipment and programs to the school.  The major fundraiser, Casino Night, is a fun evening with food, drinks and casino games.  There are also auction items up for bid.  You won’t want to miss it!

Home & School always welcomes new ideas and volunteers.  Review the Home & School Committees page to see how you can get involved.  If you have ideas, comments or questions, click here to contact us Home & School Association.

Letter from the President

Dear St. Anne Pacelli Parents,

We are fortunate at St. Anne Pacelli to have a school that is truly ours - it can be what we want it to be for our children.   To this end, I encourage you to be an active part of the school by volunteering with the Home & School Association.

In the five years that I have been involved, I have seen first-hand how vital Home & School is to the success of St. Anne Pacelli. Recent major purchases for the school include Edline software allowing parents to monitor grades more closely, cafeteria tables and classroom desks, and upgraded computer equipment. The Home & School association provides supply money for classrooms, bonuses for faculty and staff at Christmas and a number of other teacher appreciation activities. Volunteers provided by the Home & School Association help with everything from Open House to Graduation & Awards ceremonies.

So how can you get involved? First, we have a number of committees that need volunteers. Please look through the committees listed and find one that fits your schedule and talents. Second, share your ideas. We are always looking for new ways of doing things or needs to address. Finally, support Home & School activities - come to meetings and events, actively support Casino Night, use Goodsearch for your internet searches and a Publix card when you grocery shop.

Elizabeth Andrew said, “Volunteers do not necessarily have the time, they just have the heart.” Show your heart and make a difference with the St. Anne Pacelli Home & School Association! I look forward to working with you.


Sincerely,

Julie Davis
Home & School President
