The Home School Association (HSA) holds fundraising events throughout the school year to support St. Joan of Arc School in maintaining its 54 year tradition of educational excellence. Tuition only covers 85% of the school's operating budget. Therefore, fundraisers play an essential role in supporting the school. All the proceeds from the fundraisers go directly to the school's operating budget or are earmarked for certain programs. While each event helps support St. Joan of Arc School financially, each event also serves to connect the St. Joan of Arc School family with the local community and helps build a partnership. Here are a few of the fundraisers we hold each year.
Market Day
Market Day is a monthly food program which offers an assortment of more than 150 quality, convenient and nutritious foods for your family. There is a wide selection of quality foods including kid friendly snacks, quick cook entrées and sides, indulgent desserts, and the Taste for Health® selections of all natural, low fat foods. Orders can be placed on the internet at www.marketday.com or fill out the paper form and drop it off at the school office. If you order on-line, our school account number is 11418. Your order will be available for pickup once a month (September-June) in the church hall. St. Joan of Arc School earns between 10%-20% each month based on the size of the entire order.
Night at the Races
Each year, the St. Joan of Arc School community and local businesses come together for our annual Night at the Races. Come and enjoy a night with great food and exciting races while helping to support St. Joan of Arc School. All money raised goes to the school's growing technology needs. School families and local businesses can support this event by being a race sponsor for $500 or a horse sponsor for $100 or 3 horses for $250. Our 5th Annual Night at the Races is scheduled for April 25, 2009 at Level Fire Company.
Magazine Drive
Each fall, St. Joan of Arc School holds a two-week magazine drive. Everyone gets magazines delivered to their homes. The magazine drive is a great fundraiser for families to support without buying things you do not need. St. Joan of Arc School earns 40% of all magazines sold. Orders can be done on-line at QSP.com or handed into school during the magazine drive. Our school account number is 425055189. All monies raised goes to the school's operating budget. In addition, students win prizes based on number of magazines sold.
Tuesday Night Bingo
Join us on Tuesday evenings in the church hall for bingo. Early bird starts at 6:00 PM and regular bingo begins at 7:00 PM. We serve delicious dinner, desserts and a variety of soft drinks. Proceeds from weekly bingo go to the school's operating budget.
