Home & School Association
Our annual Box Tops for Education contest as begun! Please send in your valid (not expired!) Box Tops in a Ziploc bag or envelope clearly marked with your teacher's name. Many Box Tops have an 11/1/18 expiration date, so please send those Box Tops in before October 29! Visit www.boxtops4education.com/earnings to track Evan's progress, learn about products which participate in collecting Box Tops, and MORE!
The objective of this organization is to provide communication and understanding between families, faculty and administration at Evans Elementary School. We intend to encourage parents and teachers to cooperate in the education of the child.
We also facilitate efforts to provide adequate social, physical, and educational materials and programs; to meet and enhance the students’ educational experience, and to raise and maintain community interest in the educative processes at Evans Elementary School.
Our 3rd Annual Blood Drive will take place on Saturday, November 17th from 9am-2pm! To schedule an appointment to donate, visit www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/donation-time, enter zip code 19468, and choose Evans Elementary on Nov 17. Slots fill up quickly and usually it's too busy of a day for walk in appointments!
Volunteers are needed to help give out snacks and drinks for those who donate!! Clearances are NOT needed to volunteer. Please contact Michelle Mishock at jmmishock@comcast.net for more information.
Join the Home & School Association!
If you plan on coming to the school this year during school hours, whether it's to volunteer for the H&SA, help teachers during a holiday party, or any other reason, you MUST have clearances on file with the SFASD district office!
Clearances (including the Annual Online Volunteer Registration) take AT LEAST 2 weeks to process. So if you have any interest in helping during September (think Fun Run and Book Fair!!!) please complete these ASAP!
Here's the link to fill out the Annual Online Volunteer Registration, as well as what other documentation you may need to submit - https://www.spring-ford.net/…/spring-…/volunteer-information

Our Mission
Our Holiday Shoppe begins November 12, 2018! Students who have sent money into school will visit the Shoppe to purchase gifts for friends and family. We've teamed up with Five Below in Collegeville to bring our students quality items while offering lower prices to keep them within their budget. Informational fliers and money envelopes will be sent home on Monday, October 29. If you elect to allow your child to shop during our event, please return completed envelopes to school by Monday, Nov 5. Checks should be made payable to Evans Elementary Home & School Association.
To make shopping easier for the students (and helping easier for volunteers), all items are priced at dollar denominations ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5). No calculating tax and no items OVER $5!!!! The kids only get 30 minutes to shop and wrap their gifts, so it was important to make it as easy as possible for them!
This year's Shoppe is NOT a fundraiser! The H&SA, Five Below, Evans staff and volunteers are planning this event as a fun way to help students experience the season of giving. By keeping item pricing low, we hope that as many students as possible will be able to participate.
A Family Shopping Event is scheduled on Saturday, November 17 from 9am - 12pm (during our Annual Blood Drive & Chrysler Fundraiser) for those who wish to personally help their children shop for friends and family.

"Why should I join the Evans Home & School Association?"
Fundraising is only one of the things we do here at the Evans! You'll get the inside scoop on all H&SA events planned throughout the year and and be provided with opportunities to help with those events. As an H&SA member, you have a voice in decisions regarding how our funds are spent and who leads the H&SA team. You'll join a group of passionate teachers & parents who believe that, through volunteerism and school involvement, our students will grow up knowing the importance of community, and hopefully become adults who appreciate and support the same. Join the Home & School Association today!
Membership information is sent home each fall in the H&SA First Day Packet. You can also access these forms by clicking here.
Stop by Evans Elementary on Saturday, November 17th from 9:00 AM until 1:00 PM to test drive a Chrysler Pacifica and earn $10 for the H&SA! Passengers in your car (who are 18 or older) also earn the school $10 just for going on the test drive with you! The entire process will take no more than 20 minutes of your time! If needed, childcare for your little ones will be provided while you are on the test drive (for Insurance reasons, children that require a safety seat are not allowed in the test drive vehicles). The Chrysler Pacifica is a mini-van; please call your relatives, gather your friends and help us drive in some free cash! Interested in test driving AND helping with this event? Please check out the Sign up Genius for more information.
