• We raise funds to enhance the education of our student population. With money raised, we try to buy items that will benefit as much of our student population as possible. We have bought:
  • French books.
  • Art tables.
  • Musical instruments so that each student can eventually have their own to bring home and practice.
  • Curtains for our gym department.
  • Pots and accessories for our cooking department.
• To raise funds, we hold student/parent lectures/workshops, entertaining events (such as, comedy nights, hypnotist shows, and magic shows), craft sales, and orange drives. In addition, we sell refreshments and baked goods at different school events.
• We also provide volunteers for different school events.
• Each year during teacher appreciation week, we organize a luncheon for all our teachers and supporting staff to acknowledge their time and effort with our children. Typically, very little money raised is used for the event; food, utensils, plates, and decorations are all contributed by our home and school members!

  • To be affiliated, we need a minimum number of members. For the year 2012-2013, we have a sufficient number of members to be affiliated; however, we would definitely welcome you as a non-voting member (free) or as a voting member to help us organize and achieve our goals.
• It helps ensure the continuance of Home and School at St. Thomas. As our children graduate, members leave. Becoming a member and attending our meetings helps fill the void of old members.
