Fundraising

St. Peter Martyr School is funded primarily through tuition. In order to keep tuition as affordable as possible—and to ensure the financial health of our school—SPM needs to raise additional money. “Fundraising” is how our school community works together toward the same goal. Through everyone’s participation, we make our school and our community stronger and it is critical that all of our school families participate in every fundraising activity.

Although we have a set fundraising fee for each family, we do not expect you to pay that money out of your pocket. We hope you will raise the money by asking your relatives, friends, coworkers, and neighbors to support your children and our school. When they participate in our fundraising activities, they are supporting your child’s attendance at St. Peter Martyr School, and we appreciate your outreach to the broader community.

The Fundraising Fee set for each family is $500. You can earn credit toward this fee by participating in the specific events listed below. (Note that not all of our school’s events offer a fundraising fee credit, and not all credit is dollar-for-dollar for what you raise.) When an event begins, the school’s weekly newsletter will tell you what credit will be given toward your fundraising fee. We greatly appreciate any money you raise above the credit amount, which is wonderful for our school!

 Families also have the option of paying the $500 in lieu of participating in the individual fundraisers. This will be charged to your FACTS accounts in August if you have indicated as such on your Fundraising and Parent Volunteer form sent out at the beginning of the year.

Fundraising events where you credit will be given towards your fundraising fee:

  • World’s Finest Chocolate $120 (Aug -Sept)
    • 2 boxes @ $60 each
  • Holiday Boutique Raffle $80 (Oct-Nov)
    • *Must Sell 8 books to get $80
  • Catholic Schools Week Raffle ($150 credited) (Jan-Feb)
    • Must Sell 4 books ($200 value)
  • Walk a thon $150 (Mar-Apr)
    • Each child is asked to raise $150 however only $150 is logged towards fundraising fee per family.

**Please note that if you miss a fundraiser that amount will be added to your FACTS account at the conclusion of the event. It can not be made up by other fundraisers during the year.
