Important Announcement from HSA Officers

Dear McCall Community,

It is with sincere regret that the Current HSA board will be stepping down.  Almost a year and a half ago we were asked to help the HSA navigate a difficult transition with vacancies in the newly elected board.  Over the past year it has been our pleasure to continue the successes of the HSA, but we feel it is time to turn it over to a fully elected board.  

Please know that though we will no longer be formally involved in the HSA as officials, we will continue to support the good works of the HSA and our community.

Nominations and elections for the new board will be held over the coming month, we encourage everyone’s involvement in the election, and we look forward to transitioning to the newly elected officials. We will remain in our roles until the special election and work with the newly elected Officers on the transition.

Fondly,

Cari Akula, Peggy Banaszek, Fran Sandrow

亲爱的麦考尔社区,

现HSA董事会即将离任,我们深表遗憾。差不多一年半以前,我们被要求帮助HSA在新当选的董事会中出现空缺,进行艰难的过渡. 我们很高兴继续HSA的成功,但我们认为是时候把它交给一个完全选举产生的董事会了。

请知道,虽然我们将不再正式参与HSA的官员,我们将继续支持HSA和我们的社区的良好工作。

新委员会的提名和选举将于下个月举行,我们鼓励大家参与选举,我们期待着向新当选的官员过渡。我们将继续担任我们的职务,直到特别选举,并与新当选的官员就过渡问题进行合作。

深情地,

Cari Akula, Peggy Banaszek, Fran Sandrow

McCall HSA Fundraising Update

                                                                                                       September 2019

Dear McCall Family,

We start each new school year with enthusiasm, nerves, and high hopes and our children build on top of the skills they worked hard to build the year before. Each year our school is a reflection, not of a single moment, but of the many moments leading up to now. Through your support of the McCall Home and School Association (HSA) last year, we are building toward a better McCall for the sake of all of our students. Our sincere and enthusiastic thank you to the hundreds of donors and volunteers who made last year’s activities so successful.

In the 2018-2019 school year we raised $155,000! Some of these funds came from ticket and t-shirt sales at school-based events such as the Halloween Party, Scholastic Book Sale, Art to Remember, BoxTops, Election Day Bake Sales, and the McCall Relays. Of that total $83,000 was raised at the 2019 McCall Gala which netted $48,000. Over the course of the year, we had more than 200 donors as well as successful grant applications to our neighbors at the Society Hill Civic Association and the Washington West Trust.

Some of the funds raised were spent last year, while a significant portion was held to fund activities and needs in this upcoming school year. In the 2018-2019 school year, your donations to the HSA funded academic needs such as:

● Study Island software licenses used by students in grades 3-8 to reinforce academic skills;

● 10 iPads for an ESOL technology integration pilot;

● A new refrigerator for the school nurse’s office and a new refrigerator for facilities staff; and

  ● Teacher and staff appreciation meals and monthly school community events like the Spring Carnival.

All financial reports can be found online at: http://www.mccallschool.org.

Approximately $50,000 of the raised funds are to continue our annual contract with EducationWorks, which provides a full-time staff member at McCall to work with all students on structured play and recess as well as a restorative justice program in the middle school. Our new resource is in the process of coming on board and we look forward to announcing them soon.

We have a vision of providing our students with the tools to fuel their curiosity and prepare them for their future learning. Last year we had a goal to raise funds to build a Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) Lab at McCall. Through your generosity, the HSA has funded a seed account to start the planning and design for this important project. We are actively working with the School District through their Capital process so that the total cost and timeline can be determined.

Finally, it is important that we continue to build the strength of our school, its academics, its support system, and our students. The HSA anticipates that we will need to raise at least $60,000 in the 2019-2020 school year in order to respond to the requests from students, teachers, families, and staff for the tools and resources to help all McCall students to achieve this year and in the future. Please support the McCall HSA (a 501(c)(3)) by donating via PayPal Giving Fund at http://bit.ly/DonatetoMcCallSchool.

Sincerely,

Your McCall Home and School Association Executive Board

Cari Akula, Peggy Banaszek, Fran Sandrow

在 2018-2019 学年,我们筹集了 15.5 万美元!其中一些资金来自学校举办的活动的门票和 t 恤销售,如万圣节 派对、书籍销售、纪念艺术、boxtops、选举日烘焙食品销售和麦考尔接力赛。其中 8.3 万美元是在 2019 年麦 考尔晚会上筹集的,净赚 4.8 万美元。在过去的一年里,我们有超过 200 名捐赠人,以及成功地向我们在社会 山公民协会和华盛顿西部信托基金的邻居们提出了赠款申请。

所筹集的部分资金已于去年用完,其中相当大的一部分已用于资助下一学年的活动和需要。在 2018-2019 学 年,您对 HSA 捐款资助了以下学业需求包括:

●学习 3-8 年级学生使用的 Island 软件许可证,以加强学习技能;

●10 台 ipad,用于 ESOL 技术集成试点;

●为学校护士办公室添置一台新冰箱,为设施人员添置一台新冰箱

●教师及教职员感恩聚餐及学校每月举办的社区活动,如春季嘉年华。 所有财务报告可以在 http://www.mccallschool.org 网站上找到。

其中大约 5 万美元将用于继续我们与 EducationWorks 的年度合同,该公司为 McCall 提供一名全职员工,与所 有学生一起进行有组织的游戏和休息,并在中学开展恢复性司法项目。我们的新资源正在筹备中,我们期待着 很快宣布这些资源。

我们的愿景是为学生提供工具,激发他们的好奇心,为他们未来的学习做好准备。去年,我们的目标是筹集资 金,在麦考尔建立一个科学技术工程数学(STEM)实验室。通过您的慷慨解囊,HSA 已经资助了一个种子账户 来启动这个重要项目的规划和设计。我们正积极与学区合作,通过他们的资金流程,以便确定总成本和时间 表。 最后,重要的是我们要继续建设我们的学校,它的学术力量,它的支持系统,我们的学生。HSA 预计,在 2019-2020 学年,我们将需要筹集至少 6 万美元,以响应学生、教师、家庭和工作人员对工具和资源的要求, 帮助麦考尔所有学生在今年和未来实现这一目标。请通过 PayPal 捐赠基金 http://bit.ly/DonatetoMcCallSchool 支持 McCall HSA (a501 (c)(3))。

Communication Plan

Dear McCall Family,

As we reflect on our 1st year in our roles and prepare for our 2nd year, we have found opportunities to improve how we communicate and engage with all of you. Our goal is to have a communication plan that includes channels that are accessible by and convenient for our diverse families in order to maximize engagement with the school and its efforts. Effective with the first day of the 2019-2020 school year, the HSA will have the following communication plan:

Home and School Association Monthly Meeting – We will be holding the meeting on one Saturday morning per month via Facebook Live. This allows parents and guardians to participate from home and for a recording to exist for viewing at convenient times. In the previous school year we tried a variety of meeting times and locations and received feedback that meetings were not convenient. We hope this approach will be more convenient for all.

McCall Google Calendar – As event dates and times are confirmed, they will be put onto the McCallSchoolCalendar google calendar. To connect it to your personal google calendar follow these steps: go into your personal google calendar and on the left side menu find ‘Other calendars; Click ‘+’; Choose ‘Subscribe to Calendar’; Under ‘Add Calendar’ type mccallschoolcalendar and press enter.

McCall Social Media – The McCall HSA manages Friends of McCall on Facebook (remember to answer the 3 questions to join) and @McCallElementary on Instagram.

As much as possible, we post frequently about news and events relevant to our school community. In compliance with School District guidance, neither of these sites are accepting advertisements.

School District of Philadelphia Social Media – For urgent messages on school closures and news along with notices about upcoming School District events, everyone is encouraged to follow the School District of Philadelphia on social media. They can be found at School District of Philadelphia on Facebook, @PHLschools on Twitter, and Philly_schools on Instagram.

Monthly Email Newsletter – There will be a free monthly email that includes news, events, and upcoming important dates sent to all email addresses in the McCall HSA database. In order to subscribe to the email, please include an email address on the Home and School Association Membership Form everyone should receive in the beginning of the school year.

Sincerely,

Your McCall Home and School Association Executive Board

Look no further than these highlights from what we accomplished together: 100 Book ChallengeMcCall GalaBlue and Gold DaySpring CarnivalAnnie, Jr.McCall RelaysScholastic Book FairSpring CleanupElection Day Bake SalesWarm Fuzzies Winter Accessories Drive, and the Halloween Party. Thank you to Elle for quietly managing our school’s lost and found, donating unclaimed items to a local charity. Thank you to McCall Spirit (formerly Uniforms) Chair Mizuki Harris, Nancy Lin, and volunteers for your herculean efforts! Everything we do at McCall is truly a team effort and it’s what makes our community so vibrant.

We’re ending the school year on a high note:

The HSA is here to serve as a vital bridge between home and school. Per the Coffee with the Principal, to ensure the safety of faculty, staff, and students, the District has initiated a paint stabilization project.
