Fall Sale
This is a sales-packet activity which includes a catalog of gift items and Christmas wrapping paper. Students sell during August and September. Proceeds are used to fund Student Activities, PTL Expenses, and also provide the means to continue to upgrade our classroom technology.
Walk-a-Thon
This is a spring event. Students obtain sponsors by sending out letters to family, friends, and acquaintances. Donors are asked for a one-time donation. Letters are usually sent in April, with the walk scheduled for middle May. Proceeds from this event are used to continue the work started with funds from the Fall Sale.
Market Day
This is a year-round fund-raiser coordinated by the 8th grade class. Funds are used to help offset the cost of their class trip to Washington, D.C. Order forms are available every month, or families can order online at www.marketday.com. The order can then be picked up on the designated "Market Day Pickup Day" every month. Market Day offers a large selection of food products and other items and feedback from those who are regular customers is always very positive.
Trash Bags
We offer one sale each year in which the students who participate keep the profit that they have earned. This can help students with the individual cost of some of their activities. We will be offering a trash bag sale this year. The funds are kept in escrow and can be designated to any school account at any time.
There are a variety of smaller fund-raisers that take place throughout the year. Information about these fund-raisers is made available in the school newsletter and on our website. We realize that parents may not be able to participate in every fund-raiser.
