Fundraisers that receive assessment credit
Family fundraising assessments for the 2011/2012 school year are
$500/family for those with children in grades K-8 or $250 for children in the
Ready K program. With a little planning, it is very easy for each family to
meet this assessment. The listing of fundraisers below can help you to start
planning how your family will reach this goal. Once you have reached your
goal, please continue to participate in fundraising. You, your children, and
your school benefit from your additional participation. If your family reaches $500
in fundraising credit, you will receive a tuition credit equal to 50% of the
amount that exceeds
$500
(regardless of grade level). Your participation will help us
reach our fundraising goals which helps us to maintain the lowest possible
tuition rates. Payment will be expected at end of school year for any unearned
portion of your fundraising assessment.
Monthly and Daily Certificate Sales
This is the easiest way for families to meet their assessment. There is
nothing to sell and at no extra cost to you. With very little effort, you can
help St. Ursula School to raise a substantial amount of money. All it takes is
a small amount planning. Raise money for the school by simply using the
available shopping certificates for purchases that you will be making
anyway. The Certificate Sales fundraiser allows families to buy gift
certificates from a large variety of stores. St. Ursula school buys these
certificates at a discount, and families pay the face value of the
certificate, the difference is revenue for the school. The school family will
receive the percent listed with each particular certificate as a fundraising
credit.
Daily Certificate Sales are the certificates
that are available at any time, look for the green sheets in your child's
weekly take home envelope. These certificates can be purchased in the school
lobby before and after school, or orders can be sent to school with your child
and returned the same day. They are available after weekend masses
throughout the year, and also at Bingo on Tuesday evenings during the summer
months from 6 to 7 pm. During the summer months, certificates are available at
school, but please phone ahead to determine availability.
The
Monthly Certificate Sales has a larger
inventory of certificates available for purchase. These certificates
must be ordered in advance and they are delivered approximately one week after
the order date. Orders are placed and filled each month, see the order and
delivery schedule below. Look for the pink sheets in your take home envelopes.
If you would like to order a certificate that is not listed on the pink order
form, please visit our
vendor's website
to see if that certificate is available. You can write-in that
certificate name and amount on the pink order form when you place your order.
Please
take a moment to look at the online forms for this fundraiser to see what
stores are available for purchase and what percent is earned as a fundraising
credit with each purchase. Make every effort to do your shopping using these
certificates, this really is the easiest way to reach the family assessment
with minimal effort. Once you have reached your assessment, please keep using
the certificates for your shopping. Remember, you, your children and your
school will benefit from the extra money that you have helped to raise.
