Hospitality Committee

This is another of the many important committees that we have here at St. Rose School.  This committee

helps the Principal and the H&SA with organizing refreshments and serving as “greeters” at various events

throughout the year. They have been instrumental in the planning and organizing of New Family Night,

H&SA General Meetings,Catholic Schools Week, Sports Banquets, etc.... 

They are usually behind the scenes but their mark is left on every St. Rose School event.

 

Social Committee

This committee will be responsible for organizing “fun” activities for our families. These are social events

that are not intended to raise funds as part of the Home and School Annual Budget.  These may include,

but are not limited to,parent gatherings, family dances, bowling, and trips.  Events can be planned to take

place on or off school premises. (Sept. 18, 2004 - Sock Hop Dance, first event)

St. Rose School is a member of the parochial school basketball league including Danbury, Brookfield,

Bethel and Newtown areas.  We field both boys and girls basketball teams as well as girls cheerleading.

Basketball season begins in October and includes tournaments.  Even if your child is not on a team, our

support is needed to cheer on our athletes!  Volunteers include: an Athletic Director, Assistant Athletic

Director, Timekeepers, Scorekeepers and Hall Monitors. A sports banquet is given at the end of the season

to honor the St. Rose athletes.  Parent volunteers are needed to help organize this fun evening.

 

Sunshine Committee

From time to time, members or our St. Rose families may experience a major life event (i.e. new baby,

move, illness). At these times, we would like to come together to provide some assistance to these

families by providing meals,cards, flowers, etc.  Volunteers of the Sunshine Committee would be called

upon to help coordinate these activities.

 

Teacher Appreciation Days

These are “secret” days that recognize our teaching staff for all the wonderful things that they do for our

children. This effort includes: organizing the classes for a very small token of recognition of their teacher

on these special days.
