Family School Association (FSA)
The FSA is a volunteer parent organization, similar to traditional PTA. The goal of our association is to provide additional programs and sponsored events that will not only enhance our school curriculum, but also add some fun and different activities to the school year for the children as well as the parents. All of the programs and activities that we work hard to develop are not included in the school budget. We strive to make each student's experience at St. Barnabas School a well rounded one.
Some of this year's programs include:
- After School Enrichment Programs - a variety of classes taught by members of the community
- Art Fair - several day event showcasing art projects made by our students
- Art Month
- Book Fair
- Classroom Parent Liaisons - assist teachers on various school projects and relay information to the parents
- Earth Day - children are involved in many green outdoor activities to promote environmental awareness
- Father Daughter Dance
- Fun Food Days - three days per year, students order lunch from an outside establishment
- Mother-Son Outing
- New Family Welcome - In August the week before school starts
- Roller Skating Party - Thursday evening during the first week of school
- School Play
- Spirit Wear Sales - sale of clothing/accessories with the St. Barnabas logo
- Wheel of Wisdom - fun activity during a school assembly testing knowledge to win points/prizes
- Young Author's Program - children of all grades are offered an opportunity to create their own book
All FSA events and programs are made possible entirely through volunteers. We offer many ways for parents to become involved in their child(ren)'s education and enrichment. Volunteers can spend as little as an hour a week, an hour a month, or an hour a school year. Some projects can even be done at home.
Each and every parent is a welcomed member of the FSA. Our goal is to involve as many parents as we can to help make everyone's experience at our school the best it can be.
