MOTT ROAD HSA
What is the MOTT ROAD HSA?
We are the Mott Road Home and School Association (HSA). We are like a PTA, but without fees, dues, or memberships. All Mott Road parents are invited and encouraged to be in the HSA. We love new volunteers, chair people, and board members! Anyone is welcome to come to the HSA meetings.
Here’s what Mott Road School would NOT have if there was no HSA:
Fall and Spring After School Clubs
Author Visits
Movie Nights
Fall and Spring Book Fairs
Holiday Craft Day
Monthly Popcorn Days
Individual and Class Photos
Just for the Fun of It Day
Mott Road Mashers Fundraiser
Makers Space
Curriculum Nights
Activity Nights
Staff Appreciation Luncheon
And the list goes on!
We love to make the school a better place for the students, teachers, and staff. We are able to do this with the help from fundraisers that happen throughout the year (Save Around Books, Gertrude Hawke Chocolate, Yankee Candles, Book Fairs…).
