Home & School Society
The Home & School Society is Mount Calvary Lutheran’s version of PTA (parent-teacher association). It is a group of parents (or any supporter of our students) that lead the planning for various school family events, assist with fundraising and shower our teachers with support and appreciation throughout the year. This group is always looking for more parents who may be interested in getting involved.

What do we LOVE about Home & School?
Being new to Mount Calvary, joining Home & School was a great way to meet others quickly! And I’ve never not had fun volunteering at an event. Always lots of laughs, and the smiles on the kids and staff members’ faces make the efforts worthwhile!
– Erica Smith
Home & School helps me get involved with the school, getting to know parents/staff, and just being a part of things. I can help a little or a lot which helps because every season is different with youth sports! It’s nice knowing faces in the building and seeing that new friend or two at a school event or at dismissal.
– Tina Heinonen
I’ve always felt Home & School is a great way to get to know other parents and make friendships with people you might not have otherwise. I like

time away with other adults, talking about something that interests me (my kids and their education).
