Meadow Home School Association
The MHSA strives to develop supportive efforts between the teaching staff and parents/guardians to secure maximum competency levels in physical, mental, and social education for all students.
The MHSA hopes to develop improved means of communication with parents and teachers to bring a closer relationship between home and school, that parents may cooperate intelligently in the child's training.
The activities sponsored by the MHSA do much to further the goal of providing students with a well-rounded experience. Many valuable field trips, assemblies, educational programs, and social activities are funded and organized by the MHSA each year.
MHSA Funded / Sponsored Activities include: school pictures, yearbook, roller skating parties, seasonal dances, Holiday Secret Shoppe, school apparel and t-shirts, field trips, student banking, and fundraisers.
Meetings are held monthly at 6:30 p.m. in the Meadow Conference Room
