Parents Association

Every parent and guardian is a member of the St. Albert the Great Parents' Association!  Our mission is to develop and sustain activities that foster fun, friendship, and faith for the children in our school and  parish communities.  We work to promote closer connections between school and home by encouraging parent involvement, and we strive to enhance the educational experiences of our children by supporting academic and enrichment activities in and out of the classroom. Our purpose includes working to build a strong school community by providing support and resources for the teachers, staff, and Administration of St. Albert the Great school as they help our children grow educationally, socially, and spiritually.

We are always looking for new ideas so if there is an event or fundraiser you would like to see at St. Albert's, a Board meeting is a great forum to discuss it!  

We are listening to you!  Please take a few minutes to complete the following survey and give us YOUR feedback and suggestions!  Take the opportunity to get involved too!  In 2018, we had a 54% response rate (see results below) and we are hoping for 100% now that the 2019 school year has come to a close! We appreciate your input!

The Box Tops Program is changing!.  Soon you will only need the Box Tops mobile app to scan your receipt, find participating products, and instantly add Box Tops to St. Albert's earnings online!  See the link below for more information. This will be a gradual change so PLEASE continue to cut out Box Tops when you see them throughout the summer!  The link shows you the difference between the old Box Tops and the new Box Tops icon, and any old Box Tops will still be honored as long as they are not expired.  For some items, you will be able to "double dip" during the packaging transition by clipping the physical Box Tops AND scanning your receipt with those participating items!  Remember to tell your family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers, too! This simple program earned our school about $2,000 last year, so we thank you for your support!

Remember that if you would like to volunteer at school events, you are required to submit the State Police Clearance and the Federal Child Abuse Clearance.  These forms can be found on the parish website (see link below) and must be renewed every 3 years.  Volunteers must also adhere to Archdiocesan guidelines regarding clearances. Please see the attached letter below for additional information.  For questions, clarification, or the current status of your clearances, you may contact the Parish Center:  (215) 947-3500.

The Parents' Association is proud to support the St. Albert the Great MS Bike Ride Team!  

You too can join the St. Albert Team in the fight against multiple sclerosis and make a difference!  It promises to be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.  Since 2003 the team's efforts have yielded over $650K to help provide vital services and educational programs to those in need, and advance research for prevention, treatment and a cure.  This support also spreads hope to millions, including those we know and love.  See the flyer below for additional information. 

All cycling skill levels are welcomed and supported!  You can p edal the miles of your choice: Sat. 25, 50, 75 & 100-mile options & Sun. 75-mile option. This means that you can make this a family event and involve your children too!  C hildren must be at least 12 years of age by the day of the ride to participate.  Those 12 to 17 years of age must be accompanied by an adult who is 21 years or older (parent/guardian preferred) and who is not responsible for more than 2 minors riding in the event.   A $300.00 per rider fundraising minimum is required, in addition to a modest registration fee. 

For Registration & Ride information, contact: Tony Faillace @ 610-517-4257 / af1852@att.com
