Fundraisers
The Home and School Association, as well as our Local Commission on Education (Board of Education) conduct fundraising activies during the year to assist with the school budget and general fund.
A few of the fundraising activities are as follows:
-- SCRIP (see below for more information)
-- The LaRosa Spaghetti Dinner (usually held at the end of January and Catholic Schools Week)
-- "Burger Bash" at our local Burger King Restaurant
-- The Holloween Fun Frolic
-- Candy Sale
-- Pizza Sale

SCRIP
SCRIP is a program where parents (and others) purchase gift certificate or gift cards from the School or Parish for specific local or national businesses.
Cards or certifcates are worth the purchase price (eg: a $10 Burger King Card is worth $10!)
The SCRIP program makes money by being able to purchase the gift cards and certificates at a discounted rate (usually 2-10%) and... The profit amount then goes to support our School and it's programs.
Each School family is required to purchase enough SCRIP throughout the year to make $100 profit for the School. Any dollar amount of profit over that $100 provides the family a 50% amount of the overage, a monetary credit toward the following year's tuition costs.
