Support St. Patrick Catholic School

At St. Patrick, we aim to make Catholic education available to all who desire it, and tuition rates are lower than the actual cost to educate students.  To offset this budget gap, we conduct a number of fundraising events throughout the year.  The active involvement of our families enhances our vibrant school community.

Community/Parish Events

THE SPRING RAFFLE

This is the school's largest fundraiser.  Each school family is required to buy or sell three tickets (minimum).  This is a community and parish event.  Along with the selling of raffle tickets, there is a raffle party for anyone who purchased a ticket.  The raffle party is typicaly a themed party and up to 100 tickets are selected as winners.

School Family Events

JOG-A-THON

Each fall, this is a school day event, for the students, which raises money for St. Patrick School.  Children and families are asked to collect lump sum donations from sponsors.  Our goal is 100% student participation.  This fundraising event is considered a direct donation to the school and can be matched from employers' Matching Gift programs (see below).  Our faculty and parent volunteers set up activities, enertainment, prizes, and a special lunch to make this a fun and memorable day for the entire St. Patrick School family.  

 

FAMILY CHRISTMAS CRAFT NIGHT

A night for families and friends to start off the holiday season. Sit down to enjoy a delicious family dinner together in our gym. Make sure you leave room for a sweet or two from our bake sale and hot chocolate bar. Also during the night you can be creating beautiful Christmas crafts to treasure for years to come. To top off the evening join us in our library for Christmas story time and a visit from the man from the North Pole. This is a night you won't want to miss. Priceless memories together while supporting our school! Can't wait to see everyone in December!

 

FAMILY FUN FAIR

The Family Fun Fair is a community event for children of all ages - including "big kids!" Come play carnival games, eat some good food, bid on raffle baskets and enjoy camaraderie with other families.


PIZZA DAYS

A restaurant lunch is offered once a month to our students as a fundraiser for the school.  The pizzas are from Domino's Pizza, and Potbelly Sandwich Shop offers a variety of sandwiches on alternating months.  The students enjoy this alternative to the hot lunch program.
