Parents

Home & School Association

The Home and School Association is a parent run organization. The HSA puts on several events throughout the year for students, parents, faculty, and friends of Saint Bernard Academy. We have three elected volunteer officers and rely on parent volunteers for the all the events that are put on by the HSA each year. The HSA is funded solely through fundraising events hosted during the school year so we need your support! The HSA’s fund-raising events have provided the budgets for many school improvements, including a new gym floor, remodeled teacher lounge, new student bathrooms, new scoreboards, SmartBoards for classrooms, remodeled dining hall and the new library and computer lab.

The HSA is open to all parents whose children attend SBA. We are always on the hunt for more volunteers! To find out how you can get involved, email us at sbahsa@stbernard.org.

The following are descriptions of our three largest events:

  • Family Fall Fair

    SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, October 21, 2017 from 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm.  The Fall Family Event is a community-building fall fair for students, faculty, staff and their families. It is held on the SBA field on a weekend evening in the fall. At the fair there are activities for kids of all ages. Some past activities include jump houses, bungy jumping, wall climbing, obstacle course, photo booth, and cake walk. Families bring tents, chairs, and beverages. The food option at the event varies from year to year. It is a great time to meet new people and socialize with members of the St Bernard community.

  • Trivia Night

    Trivia night is an adult community building activity. A trivia company comes to the school and runs the trivia game for the evening. There is a nominal entry fee for the event. Individuals can come to the event with a preplanned team or join one that evening. The trivia participants bring their own food and drink. At the end of the evening, one team is the winner and receives a cash prize. Trivia night is held twice a year, once in the fall and late winter.

  • Spring Auction

    The Spring Auction is a dinner, dance, live auction and silent auction for parents, faculty and friends of St Bernard Academy. This is a fun and entertaining night for all.

Dear Parents, 

Each year, HSA begins recruiting volunteers for the following school year.  Without you, we are not able to accomplish as much as we do for the SBA community.  Throughout the year, there are many sign up genius opportunities that are forwarded to the families, but in the spring we will need to begin filling up leadership roles for the upcoming year, please use this form if you are interested in leading an effort next year.
