HSA Announcements

Welcome back to a new school year 2017-2018!

As the first day comes to a close, the GWHSA has been busy behind the scenes preparing various activities and events for its families. With a new year comes a few changes. GWHSA is now on Twitter and Instagram, you can follow us @GWMSHSA to stay informed and to find out how your HSA contributions directly impact your child’s experience at GW, thanks to your ongoing support. You will also receive weekly e-news informing you about upcoming HSA and school events.

In our continuing our effort to go paperless, and to support the HSA, please find below a list of items that you can purchase through using Community Pass via debit or credit card (with no added fees):

Birthday Book - Help GW purchase Media Center books to supplement the existing collection. For a $20 donation, your child will have a personalized bookplate inserted in the book they choose and can be the first to bring it home during their birthday month. Order deadline is Sunday, September 24

Student Photos - Photo day to be held September 12 (rain date September 18). There are five portrait packages to choose from, ranging from $29 to $44, as well as several additional prints and specialty items available. Order deadline is Sunday, September 10
