If you have any questions about any of the programs listed here, please call the office. These programs continue to help keep tuition costs down, but we need your support to make them work.
Fundraising
There is a mandatory fundraising fee of $400.00 NET assessed to all families. The fundraising committee, Pastors, and Campus Principal will determine the fundraisers for the year. The first half of the mandatory fundraising obligation ($200 of the $400 obligation) will be due by the end of the 1st semester, January 9th, 2009. If not paid by January 9th the $200 will be added to the February 15th tuition payment. The second half, $200 will be due by April 30th, 2009. Any balance for the remaining obligation will be added to the May 15th tuition. If a family raises in excess of $400.00 NET, 80% of the overage is applied to their tuition account, either the current year's or if the current year is paid in full, next year's tuition. If a family transfers from Christ Our Savior Catholic School, the overage on the tuition account, if paid in full, remains in the school's account and is not refunded to the transferring family.
Non-mandatory fundraising is a critical part of our efforts to keep tuition costs and increases to a minimum. Since you may already use products or purchase from these companies, there is no extra cost to you, but they help raise money for our school. Look below for programs that are in use at Christ Our Savior Catholic School.

This is something you can do every day without any hassle. Every time you buy groceries, go to the movies or buy a cup of coffee, you could be helping us raise much-needed funds for our school.

Our school can use the money wherever we need it most. There's also no limit to the points we can earn, so the more people we get involved, the more support we'll get.

Market Day
In 1973, Trudi was creating flower arrangements to raise funds for local churches and missions in poverty-stricken countries. When she could no longer supply enough flowers from her garden, she began buying them wholesale at Chicago's famous Randolph Street market.
Trudi discovered the market also sold fresh produce. She formed a food cooperative in her neighborhood, driving to Chicago each week to buy products that she would then offer to friends and neighbors to support her missionary work.
In 1975, Trudi's daughter asked her to bake a cake for a school fundraiser. Trudi brought cases of fresh produce instead, and the idea was a huge hit! The following week the first "Produce Day" was held in Clarendon Hills, Illinois.
News spread quickly and it wasn't long before other schools were requesting similar programs. Trudi began supplementing produce with meats, seafood and poultry, and Produce Day became a monthly "Market Day" program at schools. The Market Day concept was born.
Today, Market Day is a Family of Fundraisers®. In addition to our monthly food program, Market Day provides a variety of fundraising services including brochure, candy bar and cookie dough. From unique gifts to exclusive food items and top-selling chocolate assortments, today Market Day is a complete fundraising source serving over 5,500 schools around the country.Go to website
