Parents’ Association Dues - Please help support annual PA events!
One important change this year to the Parents’ Association is that we no longer benefit from the Target Red Card, as Target has decided to go in a different direction with their charitable giving. The PA events, which were subsidized significantly by those contributions, will need some financial backing from all of us at CDH. With that in mind, we are asking each family to pay dues to the Parents’ Association of $30 per family. This will help keep the cost of attendance at our events affordable for all and allow us to continue the great traditions that we have been able to enjoy for many years. To send payment please go to Support the Parents’ Association. Thank you!
Volunteers Needed
The Parents’ Association could always use more help. We need many volunteers to make each event a success! Mother and Son Dance, Grandparents Mass and Senior Lock in are coming up, volunteer online today!
