Welcome to the fundraising section of our web site. As a small private Catholic preschool and kindergarten, we depend on the help of our friends and families. While we would love for every family to participate, all fundraising is optional.
Who benefits from our fundraising?
First and foremost, the children of the school benefit. Most field trips are paid for by fundraising monies, classroom materials, playground equipment, building improvements and special events.
Every year we have an annual bike-a-thon and the proceeds from this event go to the non-profit organization Veronica’s Home in San Bernardino. Last year due to Hurricane Katrina our proceeds went to a displaced family from New Orleans, who was staying locally until they rebuilt their home.
What type of fundraisers do we do?
Scrip sales are our biggest everyday fundraiser. Scrip is a program that allows our families and parishioners to purchase gift cards directly from us. We purchase the gift cards from a clearing-house that arranges a certain percentage with each company. That percentage is what comes to the school in the form of fundraising money. Families can purchase scrip from our in stock inventory, or place a pre-order from a huge list of vendors. Some of our in stock gift certificates include Stater Bros Market, Arco Gas, Toys-R-Us, Barnes & Noble, Regal Entertainment, Gap, Lucille’s, Carls Jr, Burger King, Olive Garden, Starbucks and Cold Stone Creamery.
Families who choose to participate in this fundraiser will be required to purchase a profit for the school of $200.00, that is percentage profit not actual dollars. Once the $200 has been met any profit above and beyond will be split 50/50. 50% goes to the school and the other 50% towards that families March or April tuition bill. The more scrip purchased by an individual family the more money off that family’s tuition.

CALLING ALL TARGET SHOPPERS!!! Help us help our school. There’s a wonderfully simple way for you to help us raise funds for our school. All you have to do is use your Target Visa or Target Card, and a percentage of the amount of each purchase you make goes back to our school in the form of a cash donation from Target twice a year. The money can be used for things that aren’t in our budget, like new computers, A/V equipment, musical instruments, and field trips — things that can really benefit kids in our community.
