As part of our committment to keep tuition costs down, we offer a variety of ways to offset the current cost of your child(ren)'s education. You may participate in any or all fund raisers. A percentage of your purchases will be credited to your family account. Each program will help meet your $300 family fundraising goal and a tuition credit for next year for families raising over $300.00. For every dollar you raise over $300.00, you earn a $0.50 tuition credit. Families falling short of the $300.00 goal will be billed for the difference at the end of the school year.
Specific ongoing fundraisers are administered by the School Board. All parishioners are encouraged to participate in the on-going Certificate and Market Day programs. Other annual fundraisers include the Life: Style products (50% credit) in Fall, the school Jog-a-Thon (30% credit) in November and World's Finest Chocolate candy (50% credit) in Spring.
The Certificate Program (1.5-8% credit) is a great, easy way to support the school. Purchase certificates at school or after mass for many retail, grocery, gas station, restaurants, and other shops and services at no extra cost to you. A percentage of the certificate sale goes to St. Bart's School. Certificates are available for purchase during the school year at the
school office from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
after 9:30 Sunday Mass
at Market Day pick-up in Krueger Hall (usually the 3rd Saturday of the month).
Market Day (10% credit) is a food co-op program that provides high quality, reasonably priced food items (mostly frozen), from meats to side dishes to lunchbox favorites.
