The Home and School Association of the Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander University of Pennsylvania Partnership School (HSA of PAS), a 501(c)(3) organization, is made up of you: hard-working parents, caretakers, and educators who support the school through fundraising and volunteerism. All current parents, guardians, faculty, and staff are voting members of the HSA.
The HSA's mission is to help maintain, empower, and further enhance Penn Alexander School in order to provide the best possible learning environment for our children. One of the ways we do that is by raising money to help fill in the gaps, and we ask for donations several times a year. Every dollar you donate goes right back to our children, our teachers, our classrooms, and/or our school. Thank you!

*We pass 100% of funds collected through to the teachers and staff and will ask for these donations in December and again in June. - 100% family participation: gifts have ranged from $1 - $1,000+

- Support fundraisers such as PAS gear, yearbooks, pretzels, and the book fair
- Attend events such as the Fall Festival, Pancake Breakfast, ice skating party, talent show, musical, and the 5K
- 'Round Up' when paying for field trips and school supplies. The HSA ensures that every child gets to participate in ALL school-sanctioned activities. Rounding up your fees helps us off-set the cost for those who need it.
