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 monetary investments and school parents (tuition).  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.
 
In order 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 is expected to support the major fundraising effort that is offered each year to support Nativity Catholic School.
 
POLICY
Adopted January 20, 2010
     •    For the 2017 –2018 school year, the family fundraising support will be $100.
     •    Each school family will have the opportunity of reaching the $100 goal by obtaining donations     toward the annual Walk-a-Thon.
     •    A family may “opt-out” of obtaining donations by contributing $100 to Nativity Catholic School.
     •    The number of donations under the goal of $100 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 in order for the student to participate in the graduation ceremony.
