The Parents' Association facilitates a used uniform sale throughout the school year. These sales occur in the weeks following the school’s switch from summer to winter uniform and vice versa. Parents are encouraged to donate gently used uniforms that their children have outgrown.

Blazers are $20, all other items are $5.

The Parents' Association oversees the monitoring and purging of the school’s lost and found throughout the year.  While parents are currently not allowed to check the bins themselves, we encourage students to check for missing items.  Please keep labeling belongings as all unclaimed, unlabeled items will be purged!

 

 

 

The Parents' Association organizes the Ronald McDonald Fun Run, an event that happens every year in late October. This event has become a cornerstone of our community. More details to come.

Each spring, St. Stephen of Hungary School in conjunction with St. Stephen of Hungary School Foundation hosts Grandparents/Special Friends Day. This is an opportunity for visitors to attend a special mass with the students and to visit their classroom to get a special glimpse of the day.

The PA supports this initiative by organizing and serving coffee and assorted refreshments in the morning.

As part of National Catholic Schools Week, our school holds a special Teacher Appreciation Day. On that day, the PA sponsors a Teacher Appreciation Lunch for all of our teachers and staff members. 

Students are encouraged to make hand-made cards/letters to their teachers expressing their appreciation. In May, in conjunction with National Teacher Appreciation Day, the PA organizes a week of surprises and appreciation for our faculty.

St. Monica's (on E. 79th Street between First and York Avenue) holds a Family Mass at 5:30 pm on the first Saturday of every month during the school year. Families with children of all ages are welcome to attend.  Children are invited up to the altar during the homily.  

In rare cases, when a family needs support due to illness/death, the family support committee lead reaches out to the family to offer the support of our community. We can set up a volunteer meal service, offer pick up and drop off help through communication with class representative and friends of the family.
