Fundraising Opportunities
Although Catholic schools are largely funded by tuition and stewardship, a large part of the materials, supplies, field trips, and library is funded by our Parent Teacher Exchange.
Parents are asked to
- commit a minimum of 20 hours to working the four main fundraising events: Walk-a-thon, Spaghetti Dinner, Auction Gala and Bingo
- 15 hours of fundraising and 5 service hours.
Examples of service hours include serving on the P.T.E. or School Board, actively participating on a committee, helping with highway clean-up, etc. In lieu of the time commitment, parents may choose to "buyout" at a cost of $30 per hour.
Involvement in fundraising events adds to the close-knit community feeling of our school, as many parents get well-acquainted working side by side.
