We are a dynamic and diversified organization dedicated to enhancing the learning environment of our children. We hold many activities that raise money in support of our Crossan children.
Our fund raisers include weekly pretzel sales, monthly bake sales and Home and School membership drive. We also have total responsibility for the school store .
The money raised though out the school year will be spent directly for the school in many capacities.
Crossan Home and School Association is an excellent group in which to be involved.
Helping to make our school the best that it can be for our children is the goal we are always striving to reach.

Parent Volunteers
Parents are welcome and encouraged to volunteer at the Kennedy Crossan Elementary School. All parents wishing to volunteer must apply for and provide evidence of both the Pennsylvania Criminal Record Clearance and Child Abuse History Clearance. Interested parents should contact the School’s Main Office to obtain the proper paperwork. Once the clearances are obtained, a meeting will be scheduled with the Principal to determine a schedule for the volunteer.
Student Medication
PLEASE DO NOT SEND MEDICATIONS TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILD. Drugs such as nose sprays, antihistamines, cold tablets, cough syrups, and aspirins should remain at home or on your medical shelf. We cannot monitor the misuse of over-the-counter drugs. If, however, your child needs medication prescribed by your doctor for a prolonged period of time and it must be taken at school, you may come into the school office or make an appointment with the school nurse to receive clearance for your child to be given the medication by our school nurse or principal. The doctor must fill out forms for any medications, including over the counter medications that must be administered in school.
