Mothers' Club

Welcome

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.

We are hopeful for a more “normal” year.

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, the weekly Explorer Express”, 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 juliekwok@comcast.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.

Mission

The Mothers' Club enriches the lives of all La Salle families. We foster a sense of community among members through involvement in our activities. We celebrate and support the La Salle mission through our fundraising efforts and assistance at school events.

To support this mission we identified these objectives:

Promote friendship and mutual respect among all Mothers' Club members through active participation in all events;
Raise funds to support Mothers' Club operations and to assist La Salle College High School in meeting its financial needs;
Foster spiritual and social growth among its members;
Promote the vision and mission of La Salle College High School and of this organization through publicity and communication;
Provide assistance to the administration, faculty and staff for special purposes deemed appropriate by the Executive Board.

The Mothers' Club is an inclusive community that supports all of our volunteer members in the selfless spirit of St. John Baptist de La Salle. We inspire our members to share their talents and to work collaboratively to enhance the La Salle College High School experience. The Mothers' Club plays an integral role in the life of La Salle College High School.

To support this vision we draw on these values:

The Mothers’ Club Board is proud to continue a rewarding service opportunity for mothers and their sons. Please join us one Sunday each month from 10:30 am to 1 pm at Manna's new location at North Penn Commons located at 606 E. Main Street Suite B, Lansdale, PA 19446. We will be serving meals in the soup kitchen, helping out in the food pantry, and preparing after school snacks for local school children. Feel free to bring a donation for the food pantry or for the after school snacks (nothing with peanuts in it, please). Due to limited space at Manna, only 14 volunteers each month will be needed, so sign up early.

Feel free to contact Susan Senyk at ssenyk@wearesparks.com with any questions. See you at Manna!

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.

Volunteers are always welcome! Please email

sharedtreasuresLS@yahoo.com for more information.

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.

If you would like to join in this wonderful way to support the education of a young man, make a donation online using the link below or contact Mr. Daniel McGowan.
