FUNDRAISING AND VOLUNTEERING
OVERVIEW OF THE FUNDRAISING POLICY:
Each family with children in grades K-8 is expected to raise a “Minimum Fundraising Amount” for the school (currently $300) by participation in any or all of the qualifying fundraising events, which may include: The Golf Outing, the Candy Sale, the Fall Fundraiser, and/or the $10,000 Give-Away. These are referred to as "qualifying fundraisers." A qualifying fundraiser must earn over $5,000 profit for the school. Each family is required to raise at least the minimum obligation by participating in one or more of these fundraisers or has the option of writing a check to the school to satisfy the obligation. Families are encouraged to enlist the help of family, friends and neighbors to achieve their obligation. OLV School serves a very important role in the community and sharing in our fiscal health is necessary and not unreasonable. From time to time, additional optional fundraising opportunities arise, they will not be applied to a family's minimum obligation but might be appealing and/or needed as the school year progresses.
OVERVIEW OF THE VOLUNTEER POLICY:
This second part of the Fundraising/Volunteer Service Program is as important as the first. Each family is asked to volunteer their time and abilities at any two of the following: the Golf Outing/Dinner, Candy Sale, Book Fairs, Fall Fundraiser, Family Night, Children's Christmas Sale, Sweetheart Dance, Mother Son Bowling, Basketball Tournament, Service & Goods Auction, OLV Music Series, Easter Bunny Breakfast, Spring Event, Hall & Lunchtime Duties and Extra-Curricular Clubs.
Participation in your child’s education can take many forms, our Fundraising/Volunteer Program affords parents the chance to participate in two ways, fundraising, which supplements programs that enhance the learning environment, and volunteer service, which places parents and their abilities in the center of their children’s school life.
At OLV we believe that the cooperation between parents, administration and teaching staff provides an excellent environment for the well rounded growth and education of our children.
