After a fantastic Winter Clubs session and Winter Ball the HSA would like to provide an update on HSA financials.  School year to date, the HSA has raised $45,000 and reinvested $37,000 back into the school, students and teachers.  Here is where that $37K has gone!

• $9K classroom requests - indoor recess supplies, online video subscription, charging stations, decodable readers, Kindergarten tee-shirts, etc.
• $7K teacher stipends at the beginning and middle of the year for classroom supplies (this equates to around $200/primary classroom YTD)
• $8K assemblies - including $2K just this week for Black History month's assembly
• $4K HSA management - tax returns, quickbooks, webmaster, insurance

• $2.5K teacher appreciation - breakfasts, breakroom microwave, HSA kick in to holiday thank you's to all the staff
• $2K assignment books
• $2K Beaumont garden expansion
• $1.6K Indoor & Outdoor beautification - plants, planters, bulletin boards
• $1K Composting pilot (75% funded by a grant from Chester County)

Upcoming expenses the HSA is prepping for:

• More assemblies and an author visit
• 4th grade promotion celebration
• Grade level activities (I.e. 1st grade books & 4th grade piñatas)
• Non primary teacher requests - i.e. nurse, special ed, music, field day, reading support, etc. etc. etc.
• More teacher appreciation & end of year thank you's

We have a big ask ($10K+) from the Beaumont office for a 2nd copier to reduce lines for printing basic classroom papers and believe we'll be able to make this gift by the end of the year!
We do hope that all of the HSA sponsored events offer families fun and community connection, but also want you to be aware of the impact to our school, teachers and students through funds raised at these events.
