MANDATORY FUNDRAISING For several years, St. Peter School has discussed implementing a Mandatory Fundraising Policy. The actual cost to educate your child is over $5,100.00, substantially higher than the tuition fee of $3,750.00. The parish subsidy has always made up the difference. The good news is that in recent years, enrollment has steadily increased bringing in greater revenue. However, this still does not bridge the gap. We understand that we cannot allow our tuition costs to skyrocket, nor can the parish continue to increase the subsidy. Therefore, we are looking to close this gap through a Mandatory Fundraising Policy. Many of the Catholic schools within the Diocese of Providence have already implemented similar policies. In place of our many small fundraisers, St. Peter School offers the options outlined below in order for everyone to meet their mandatory fundraising fee of $225.00 per family (preschool through grade 8). Each family may choose one of the following options: OPTION 1 - Sell 45 Big Raffle Tickets @ $5.00 a ticket = $225.00 OR OPTION 2 – Join or sell a 25 Week Club membership @ $5.00 a week (total $125.00) and sell 20 Big Raffle Tickets @ $5.00 a ticket (total $100.00) = $225.00 OR OPTION 3 – Pay an additional $225.00 on final tuition bill 25 Week Club - A popular and successful fundraiser supported by school families and parishioners. The 25 Week Club includes weekly drawings of (2) $50.00 and (2) $25.00 prizes and grand prize drawings of $100.00, $200.00, $300.00, $500.00 and $1,000.00. Members may pay in full or in weekly installments. Each member has 105 chances to win a cash prize! The Big Raffle Ticket – A new concept to St. Peter School. Each raffle ticket will include a chance to win 50 prizes from gift certificates to cash. Tickets will be sold from October through April. An easy way to spread out the cost among family and friends, giving each of them an opportunity to win! The 25 Week Club and Big Raffle Ticket will replace several small fundraisers such as the sale of cookies, pies and candles. However, we will continue to sell Supermarket Cards, hold dress down days for charity, collect Box Tops and empty ink cartridges, register Shaw’s and Stop & Shop cards and capitalize on other passive revenue models available. Likewise, the Development Committee will continue to pursue large gifts and other major fundraising campaigns within the St. Peter’s community. However, our school family’s obligation will be satisfied by participating in one of the above three options. If you have a problem or concern that needs to be addressed, feel free to contact me by phone 781-9242 or email principal@stpeterschoolri.com. I am looking forward to an exciting school year. Sincerely, Joan Sickinger Principal If one of the options has not been met prior to April 30, 2011, an additional $225.00 Mandatory Fundraising Fee will be added to your final tuition bill.
