CHS PSFA Committee Descriptions
Hospitality: These dedicated parents provide refreshments for various school functions throughout the year, such as PSFA meetings, Open Houses, and student midterm/final exam Bagel Breakfasts. The committee is a terrific way to become involved in the CHS community, as you get to work with (and meet) a lot of parents. Contact the Hospitality Chairperson at hospitality@chs-psfa.org
Membership: This committee actively seeks 100% parental participation in the PSFA. Our membership information is collected online and the PSFA webmaster currently oversees the database. The membership committee attends Freshmen Orientation to facilitate registration and Back-to-School night to hand out PSFA directories. The committee chairs work with PayPal and our webmaster. Contact the Membership Chairperson at membership@chs-psfa.org.
Driver’s Education: This committee schedules the driver’s education course with Just Right Driving School, updating PSFA families with information regarding the course, facilitating course sign-up and creating and overseeing the parent chaperone schedule for the ten-week course. Contact the Driver’s Education Chairperson at recsecretary@chs-psfa.org.
Color Wars: This is the most exciting event of the year for our students! Every June our students get to show off their competitive side as the student Color Teams compete against each other in various events. This committee oversees the event as well as coordinating responsibilities with many parent volunteers for the day, including greeters, BBQ grillers, food & drink set up, and cleanup. It’s a great opportunity to meet parents and be a part of an exciting day at CHS.
Fundraising/Dinner & Gift Auction: Various fundraising events enable the PSFA to provide financial support for many student activities, events, and scholarships. Our biggest fundraiser is the lovely Dinner & Gift Auction held in the spring; this active committee solicits donations and ads, creates event decorations and the program, and wraps, displays, & presents the gift baskets. Many volunteers are needed for this committee and it’s a superb way to meet other parents and learn a lot about CHS.
Public Relations: This committee is responsible for communicating PSFA activities and achievements to families & the school community, through our Facebook page and other venues. Contact the Public Relations Chairperson at pr@chs-psfa.org.
