SCHOOL
FUNDRAISERS
St. Dunstan Catholic School must augment its annual operating income by conducting fundraisers so that the tuition and fees do not place an unrealistic burden on parents. Fundraisers are an essential part of the school’s operating budget, and parents are required to participate in them. Fundraisers are sponsored by the school directly or are co-sponsored with another group or organization of the school. Currently, three fundraising programs are mandatory: SCRIP, Fall Parish Festival, and International Food Festival. Other fundraising programs are pursued by the pastor, administration, and School Advisory Board as need arises.
Three
fundraising programs are mandatory:
- SCRIP:
St. Dunstan Catholic School Scrip Program is the school’s
primary fund raising activity. All families are required to participate
in this program. Families must purchase a total of $4,000.00 in
Scrip over the course of the school year or pay a one-time fee
of $275.00 in lieu of purchasing Scrip. If you choose to pay the
$275.00 fee, the payment is due on or before Friday, August 29, 2008.
If
you choose to participate in the Scrip Program but fall short
of the $4,000.00 minimum purchase amount, you will be assessed
a fee equal to 10% of your unpurchased Scrip balance. For example,
if you purchase only $2,500.00 in Scrip during the school year,
your unpurchased Scrip balance would be $1,500.00. Your fee
would be 10% of $1,500.00 or $150.00.
Scrip requirement must be completed by May 15, 2009. Email
the SCRIP Coordinator. Check the
Wednesday Communication page for current news and order forms.
-
PARISH FALL FESTIVAL: St. Dunstan Parish has an annual
festival in the fall. It is mandatory that every school family
contributes 6 service hours for a two-parent home or 3 service
hours for a single-parent home. NOTE: If these service hours are not
fulfilled for the Parish Festival, your status will be changed
to Non-Participating status for the
remainder of the school year.
- INTERNATIONAL
FOOD FESTIVAL: St. Dunstan School has an annual festival in the spring. A mandatory minimum purchase of a family ticket ($100.00) to our Spring Fundraising Event will be assessed. Individual ticket prices for this year’s International Food Festival have not been established at this time.
FUNDRAISERS - CLASS ASSIGNMENTS:
Beginning with the 2008-2009 academic year, the responsibility for several St. Dunstan fundraisers will be assigned to specific grades. This will provide greater event consistency from year to year while fostering community among the school families. The parents in the designated classes are expected to take the lead in producing each event (designating chairpersons, staffing committees, etc.) to their conclusion. The fundraisers and their assigned grades are identified below:
- Spring Fundraiser (e.g. Pasta Feed or Valentine’s Dinner Dance)
Primary Responsibility: Grade 1 and Grade 5
- International Food Festival
Primary Responsibility Grade 3 and Grade 7
For each event, outline instructions will be provided to help organize and conduct the event. After a given class has managed an event, they will document any changes to these instructions for use by future grades.
Other
fundraising programs are pursued by the pastor, administration,
and School Advisory Board as need arises.
