Nativity Church is firmly committed to the value of Catholic education as it is offered through Nativity Catholic School. As a parish community, we view our school as an important ministry through which we share our Catholic faith with our families and their children.
The cost of providing a quality Catholic education is an ever-increasing reality. Because of the great value that is associated with our Catholic school; the cost is a shared responsibility between our parish (subsidy) and school parents (tuition). Each year the parish invests over $200,000 in our students. The sacrifice that is made by our parish community and school families is extraordinary but it is a sacrifice that is very worthwhile because of the many blessings which are received through Nativity Catholic School.
To keep tuition at an affordable level, fundraising is a necessary component of the overall financial structure of our school. As a member of our school community, each school family (K-8) is expected to support the major fundraising effort that is offered each year to support Nativity Catholic
School.
Policy · For the 2022-23 school year, the per family fundraising support will be $150.
· Each school family will have the opportunity of reaching the $150 goal by obtaining donations
toward the annual walk-a-thon.
· A family may “opt-out” of obtaining donations by contributing $150 to Nativity Catholic School.
· The number of donations under the goal of $150 will be counted as a family’s
fundraising balance.
· A family’s fundraising balance must be paid to Nativity School or it will be added to the family’s registration fee for the following school year.
· The fundraising balance for families of an 8th-grade student must be paid prior to graduation for the student to participate in the graduation ceremony.
