FUNDRAISING
|
|
Funding for St. Cajetan School is based on the following sources: tuition, fundraising, and parish subsidy. Fundraising is essential because tuition does not cover the actual cost of a Catholic education at St. Cajetan School.
|
|
Our goal is to maintain a standard of academic excellence while still having tuition that is affordable for our school families. Our major fundraisers are essential because everyone benefits and we strongly encourage all school families to participate. They are: Raffle tickets, Magazine Drive, Market Day, T.R.I.P. (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program).
|
|
Raffle Tickets - $300 – 60 tickets @ $5.00 - each are mandatory for each family K-8. Preschool families are responsible for 20 $5 tickets totaling $100 per family. Tickets need to be purchased or sold.
|
|
Magazine Drive (October)

Market Day(ongoing)
Highest quality wholesale meats, produce and other grocer items are available through the school on one Saturday each month. A large corps of volunteers provide fast and efficient service to our customers. All items must be pre-ordered through the school, church or online at www.marketday.com.
|
|
T.R.I.P. Program
Families may receive tuition discounts by purchasing T.R.I.P. certificates through the School. Many local merchants and chain stores accept the coupons purchased through the school. A percentage of each purchase is rebated to the family toward tuition for each coupon used.

Ink Cartridge/Cellphone Recycling: Last year, we raised over $200 from this program alone! Thanks to all our supporters! You can participate in two ways:
1. Bring in old cell phones and used ink cartridges of all kinds. We send them to Cartridges for Kids, and they send us a check.
2. Be a business sponsor — collect your businesses cartridges at work. We will provide you with shipping materials, and the cartridges will be picked up at your place of business. Contact Ms. Salazar for more information @ jsalazar@cajetan.org.

BoxTops: The St. Cajetan School BOX TOPS for Education program is underway. Mrs. Melissa Cusack, coordinator, has set the goal for $2,000. St. Cajetan School can earn 10 cents for each Box Top! Check for the Box Tops for Education symbol on Bisquick, Pillsbury, Old El Paso, Pop Secret, Gushers, Ziploc, Betty Crocker, Kleenex and more. BOXTOPS can be placed in the box in the back of church or dropped off at school. Thanks to all for your support!

|
Kemps Caps: St. Cajetan School participates in a fund raising program called Kemps Give’em Five. Every specially-marked milk cap or proof of purchase symbol from Kemps Milk products that we collect can be redeemed for five cents. If every school family collected two caps a week for a year, we would accumulate $1,341.60. And if parishioners, families and friends join in, we could amass quite a bit of money for field trips and school presentations. So remember, every “nickel bit” helps!
Please deposit your caps in the specially marked box in the back of church or drop them off at school. Thank you for your support!

|
Paper Drive: Student Council members are encouraging students, parents, parishioners and friends to get involved to help save landfill space, clean up the environment and earn money for their school by taking recyclable paper to the school’s paper retriever.
|
|
Located behind the Lower Grade Center of the school at 2447 W. 112th Street, the paper retriever bin is available 24 hours a day. Paper suitable for recycling includes: newspapers, magazines, shopping catalogs, mail, envelopes, folders, fax and copy paper, and colored paper. Please, no cardboard or phone books. Thanks for your continued help!
