There are so many ways to reach your 5 hours of volunteerism! Here are just a few ways to STRIVE FOR 5!!

Come to an HSA Meeting! For each meeting you attend you earn a 30 minute credit – by attending 4 meetings

that’s 2 hours right there!

Volunteer at one of out MANY events – you can volunteer for only an hour at 5 events or at one event for 5 hours – so many options!

Mother Daughter Brunch Oct 15 12-4pm – help check in people & sell raffles

The Christmas Fair December 8, 9 & 10 – help set up/break down the gym, Sell raffles, help sell items, run the games for the kids

Grandparents/Special Person day February 2nd – help serve food and direct people Father Daughter Dance February 11th – help check people in and sell raffles

Mother Son Event – dates TBD - help check in people & sell raffles Basket Auction – sell raffles and help hand out prizes!

Plant Sale May 11th – help sell plants to the kids as they shop Father Son Laser Tag May 24th – help check people in & sell raffles

Field Day – spend the Day with your kids helping run the color war games Fun idea: If you just have sons/daughters – volunteer at a Mother or Son event and earn hours while you

enjoy watching your spouse and child/children have fun!

And if you work crazy hours and absolutely no way you can make time for an event – here are ways to earn your hours without leaving your house – you can even do with your kids!

Stuff Straws for straw game (email us and we will send in supplies) – 1 box = 2 hours

Wrap prizes for Christmas Fair & Basket Auction (email us to coordinate to meet us to pick up prizes /supplies, wrap and drop back off to HSA) - 10 prizes = 1 hour

Solicit Donations for prizes and deliver to HSA (just email us for a list of the donations we already have so we don’t ask the same place twice!) - 5 donations = 2 hours

Make something to be sold at Made from the Heart Table & deliver to HSA (Ornaments, crafts, etc) – 5 items – 1 hour

Volunteer for 5 hours of lunch duty – not only will that fulfill your 5 hours – you also get paid!

Class parents chosen at last night’s meeting automatically fulfill their 5 hour commitment!

We all are busy, we all want to spend time with our families and we all have to work together to keep our tuition

down – We are in it together to STRIVE FOR 5!

The STRIVE FOR 5 program is a promise. A promise not only from you to the STS, but a promise to your child and our school! We are asking that each family promise to volunteer a minimum of at least 5 hours

of their time during the 2017-2018 school year. If for whatever reason you cannot provide 5 hours of volunteer time to the HSA, a one time $75.00 fee will be withdrawn from your May Tuition bill.
