Fayetteville Elementary School HSA
Welcome to the Fayetteville Elementary HSA page. The Home School Association (HSA) is a volunteer organization dedicated to aiding students by providing financial and other support for educational and recreational needs. The HSA holds many fundraisers throughout the year to support and enhance educational school programs.
The message below is from HSA co-presidents Christina Beam and Hillary Raymond.
Dear Parents and Guardians of Fayetteville Elementary,
On behalf of the Fayetteville Elementary Home and School Association (HSA), we would like to welcome you and your family to the 2012-2013 school year. We would also like to express our gratitude to the parents, guardians, teachers and staff involved in last year’s HSA events. The fundraisers and programs were a tremendous success due to the support of dedicated volunteers.
Please read the online monthly HSA Communication Packet now known as the Buzz Beat and refer to the Fayetteville Elementary website for more information on HSA fundraisers and activities.
All Fayetteville Elementary community members are encouraged to participate in HSA activities. Volunteers are the key to the HSA’s success. It is only through active engagement that the HSA can continue to provide an integral link between home and school. Please consider volunteering your time and talents. HSA meetings are held on the first Monday of each month at either 9:30 a.m. or 7 p.m. Meeting times are published in the monthly HSA Buzz Beat. Parent and guardian participation is highly encouraged.
