FUNDRAISING REQUIREMENTS 2016-2017
Tuition and Fees cover only a part of the total cost of providing education at St. John Fisher School. Each family at St. John Fisher School is required to participate in the fundraising program. Your participation in this program is vital to the success of St. John Fisher attaining its fundraising goal.

All families agree to supplement tuition and fees and assist in school activities and fundraising by assuming responsibility for each of the following:

A. Scrip Program Requirements:

• Each family is required to participate in this program by purchasing Scrip certificates/e-Scrip, which generates $400 worth of profit per school year (May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017).
• All families are billed $200 in advance for SCRIP. If families have not met the $400 obligation at the end of the SCRIP year, April 30, 2017, the actual profit generated will be calculated and families will be required to pay the shortfall by mid May 2017. The $200 advance that was paid at the time of registration will then be rolled over for the 2017-18 SCRIP year.
• Any family who generates more than $400 in Scrip profit, per school year, will receive a reward from St. John Fisher School for 50% of the profit generated over $400 (subject to deduction of any past due balances and timely receipt of vendors’ profit reporting). This dollar amount will be applied towards the General Fee payable in June. If a family leaves the school before the end of the year, the Scrip profit due to the school will be pro-rated.
• As in previous years, a family may elect to pay a one-time fee of $400 if they wish to ‘buy out’ of the Scrip Program.

B. Hawaiian Raffle Tickets Requirement:

• Each family must buy or sell at least $100 of Hawaiian Raffle tickets

C. Jog-a-thon Sponsorships:

• Each family is responsible for at least $100 per child in Jog-a-thon sponsorships. Please Note: If you elect to advertise on the back of the Jogathon souvenir T-shirt you are still required $100 sponsorships.

D. Spring Fundraiser Requirement:

• Each family must purchase two tickets for the annual Spring Fundraiser.
• In addition each family must either donate or solicit an auction item for the Fundraiser.Please note: Money donated towards a class project does not fulfill the Spring Fundraiser financial obligation..
