Family School Association
FSA: What is it?
The Family School Association is a group of parents working together to make each family’s time at St. Germaine memorable.
The group meets monthly to discuss fundraising to support the association, as well as to plan and prepare for special treats for the children and events for the entire family and/or parents only to enjoy. Events have always been successful and enjoyed by all those who attend.
All parents of St. Germaine students are invited and encouraged to attend these meetings…especially new families. When a new family enrolls in St. Germaine, the FSA does its best to get the new families involved.
Officers: Who are they?
The officers are parents of St. Germaine students who volunteer to plan and organize events for the school year. The current officers are:

SCHEDULE OF MEETINGS
The Family School Association meets once a month to discuss planned events sponsored by the FSA; however, it is not just to talk business. The meetings are also for the parents to come and get to know other parents as we are all part of the St. Germaine Community. This is a great way for parents to get involved and be part of their child’s St. Germaine experience. We hope that all choose to join us!

The Family School Association implemented the Room-Mom Program that is coordinated by Laura Koss. Each room has been assigned a Room-Mom who will notify parents of upcoming FSA events and meetings, as well as to encourage parents to attend.
