Did you miss the HSA meeting last Thursday? You can read the meeting notes here. Inside, you will find the principal's update, grade rep updates, treasurer's report, and other items that were discussed during the meeting.

Mark you calendars! Our last HSA meeting for the year will be May 18 at the SHMS library.

Today is Administrative Professional's Day! Thank you for Amanda Jacobsen, Krissy McIlhenney, and Alice Short for everything you do day to day and keeping us organized. As a thank you the HSA provided lunch for them on this day of recognition. 

We are looking for one more 7th grade parent rep and two more 8th grade parent reps for next school year to be part of the HSA. In this volunteer position you and your team would be the liaison between the lead teachers and the parents. You and your team will coordinate events requested by the lead teachers of your grade, assist teachers with grade communications to parents, and attend the home and school meetings. 

If you know of a rising 6th grade parent/guardian looking to get involved with the HSA we would like 3-4 grade parent reps.

Interested in being part of the fundraising committee to help with selling ads for our online directory/HSA website and other fundraising activities throughout the year? We would love to hear from you!

Or maybe contacting restaurants and setting up a passive fundraiser throughout the year is more your thing. We would love your help!

If fundraising isn't your thing, we are looking for one or two people to coordinate spirit wear sales. The coordinators can come up with different spirit wear ideas, order spirit wear, update our online store and coordinate the distribution of spirit wear.

If you are interested in any of these positions please contact us at shmshsa.chairs@gmail.com.
