Welcome
Welcome to the La Salle Mothers’ Club Webpage
Welcome to the La Salle Mothers’ Club Webpage
Our role is to support the La Salle community in the selfless spirit of Saint John Baptist de La Salle through community-building and fundraising events to promote the La Salle mission.
As a mother or legal guardian of a La Salle student, you are a member of the Mothers’ Club, and we warmly invite you to get involved by attending or volunteering at our events. It is a great way to meet and socialize with other moms in our school community. The high school experience passes quickly, and I hope you will join us in making lasting memories.
Although this year will initially be different, and we are reimagining events such as the New Mothers’ Tea, to comply with safety regulations, we will continue to meet monthly. You are invited to attend our monthly meetings which are listed on the school calendar. You can stay connected with the Mothers’ Club by reading the daily Bulletin, by visiting this area of La Salle’s Website, by joining our La Salle Mothers' Club Facebook Group, or by reading our periodic emails for details about our events and volunteer opportunities. Feel free to contact me with any questions via email at bandjnagle@verizon.net.
Please check out our Events and Registrations tab to view and register for our upcoming events. I look forward to working with you in support of La Salle and our sons.

Shared Treasures
Since opening in the fall of 2009, the Mothers' Club Alumnae Committee's SHARED TREASURES thrift shop has made over $60,000.00! Since all items sold at Shared Treasures are donated, the committee has passed on 100% of the proceeds to La Salle. In addition to financial support for students in need, the thrift shop affords our donors the opportunity to recycle gently used household items and clothing. Many thanks to all who have supported this endeavor with your time, talent, donations and purchases.
You will find fantastic values on a wide variety of home décor and gently used men’s, women’s and children’s clothing. The inventory and our SALES change often, so you’ll want to make a stop at Shared Treasures part of your weekly schedule. The shop is open on Wednesdays from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and the first and third Saturday of the month from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

180 Degrees
Won’t you please join our group of 163 moms in their support of 180 DEGREES for the 2018-2019 school year? With Tuition now set at $23,050, we need to enlist more mothers to meet our goal. We are very grateful to all of those who have so generously contributed.
Through 180 DEGREES we can make it possible for one more woman's son to have the same experience our boys were given.
Individually not much can be accomplished today with $100. Collectively the possibilities are endless. Please consider seriously donating to this important fund. If we can change one life 180 DEGREES we can change the world one La Salle degree at a time.
