The JFK Home and School Association (HSA) is an organization of John F. Kennedy Catholic School and Scott County Catholic Schools that supports students and staff of JFK. The HSA committee includes four volunteer officer positions (President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer) and relies on additional volunteer committee members to function well. All positions are recommended to be held for at least two years. Meetings occur every other month and are open to all parents and family members of JFK and Guardian Angel Preschool students. Parent and staff input at these meetings is vital to improving the quality of our events and activities offered. Childcare during meetings can be arranged, if needed.
The Home and School Committee is hard at work, supporting students, the school, staff and families in a variety of ways via fundraising opportunities and events all throughout the school year.
Volunteering for Home & School events provides a great way to show your support for the school, set examples for our children, and is a great way to meet other JFK/OLV families.
HSA communicates via meetings, monthly newsletter, posting in the JFK Moms and Dads Facebook page, JFK’s Facebook page, and the weekly Principal Posts!
