East Derry Home and School Association

Mission Statement
The Home & School Association is an organization designed to bring home and school closer together to benefit the student. We are financially funded by our fall and spring fund-raisers. All money raised by the home and School Association is used to purchase items for the school or to directly benefit the students.

We are very concerned with the education of our students. Through our involvement with the school we have a chance to voice our opinions and have input on various topics.

We feel that it is also important to incorporate fun activities for the students into the school year. This would include such things as; field day and the holiday shop.
 
Meetings
Monthly meeting are held the second Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. September thru May in the school library. We welcome new faces and new ideas. Please plan on joining us. Your children are welcome also, after all this is their school.
