Our Academy has some exciting and well renowned fundraisers such as the Tricky Tray held every spring by the Home & School Association, the Car Raffle in the fall sponsored by the Parish and the Golf Outing sponsored by the Parish Council in the Spring. In addition, the sale of SCRIPS (shopping certificates), gift wrap, Market Day food products are all popular and profitable fundraisers that the Academy promotes to its families and friends. There are other seasonal and smaller fundraisers that contribute to the Academy's successful fundraising program which provide plenty of opportunities for families to participate.

Fundraising helps cover expenses of the Academy and supports the special programs for the children such as field day, Catholic School's Week, graduation party, Family Fun Night etc.). Details of fundraising requirements can be found in the Volunteer and Fundraising Handbook.

The Home & School Association encourages volunteerism. Parents' and families' involvement in fundraisers fosters a greater sense of community among students, parents and the parish/school staff. Mothers, fathers and guardians and grandparents are all encouraged to volunteer.
