Parents
St. Bernard Academy is an inclusive place, where each child and family is valued. We encourage you to become actively involved in your child’s school experience.
As an SBA parent, you are automatically an important member of our Home and School Association (HSA). We hold monthly meetings to connect with one another, share school news, and coordinate volunteer opportunities. We want to see you there!
Our Mission
1
to pool the resources of the parent body, for the betterment of the School, and to sponsor various activities to promote fellowship
2
to promote understanding and cooperation among Members, by working and serving together for the good of the students and the School
3
to support the School, by raising funds for the School in general, as well as for special projects and HSA operations

The HSA is guided and directed by the Executive Committee, elected by members at large during the spring. Our 2019-2020 Executive Committee members are:

FALL FAIR 2019 – SAVE THE DATE
Saturday, October 26
3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
SBA Athletic Field
The Fall Fair is a community building event for students, faculty, staff and their families. It is held on the SBA athletic field on the corner of 24th Ave. and Fairfax Ave. This year you can expect bounce houses, inflatable games, face painters, a balloon artist, a cake-walk, photo booth and the Parents Cheer Garden! Families bring chairs and beverages. Dinner and Kona Ice are provided. It is a great time to meet new people and catch up with friends!
As a new parent in 2016, I found becoming involved with the HSA was the quickest way to get to know the school and meet other parents — who have since become some of my closest friends! I continue to want to serve and stay engaged as a way to provide my children with a truly enriched experience.
