T.R.I.P. Fundraising Program
Every St. Wendelin School family is required to participate in T.R.I.P. (Tuition Reduction Incentive Program). Each year, the first $100 of credits earned will go directly to the school on a per student basis ($150 in credits required for families with more than one student.)
This system allows the responsibility for fundraising to be shared equally by all school families in the K-12 school system.
For families that choose to pay the fundraising fee with tuition, please include the amount for your student/s with your payment to the parish office by August 1, 2012.
Any balance to cover the fundraising fee at T.R.I.P.’s year end will be due by May 25 of each year.
Families can earn credits towards tuition by purchasing gift certificates – at no additional cost – for goods and services they buy every day. Families using T.R.I.P. can potentially reduce tuition by hundreds of dollars each year. Gift certificates are purchased at face value from T.R.I.P. in increments ranging from $5 to $500. The percentage varies depending on the business, but ranges from 2% to 20%. Of the percentage designated by the business, 75% credit is assigned to the family. Once a year, in May, the accumulated family credits are applied to the tuition account, less the $100/$150 fundraising fee.
Festival Volunteer Program
The St. Wendelin Parish Festival is a major source of revenue for the school. One hundred percent of proceeds from the festival is invested in the school’s educational programs and staffing.
- Participation and involvement by every school family is vital to the success of this annual event.
- A Festival Fee of $300 per family will be charged with tuition each year.
- Beginning June 2012, any parent who completes a three hour work shift in any area of the festival during festival weekend will eliminate the fee for the following school year.
- Required student hours will not apply to this three hour minimum.
Families that are unable to fulfill this obligation may request an alternative opportunity to give three hours volunteer time to St. Wendelin Parish/School by contacting Brian Shaver, Director of Parish and School at 419-435-6692 or brian.shaver@stwendelin.org.
New Family “Finder’s Fee”
St. Wendelin Catholic School offers a $500.00 tuition incentive for parents who are successful in seeking out and finalizing a new family registration (K-12) for the 2012-2013 school year. In order to receive the tuition incentive, the new registering family must have completed the Initial Contact Form with your name noted as the contact. The new family must remain in our school system for 6 months; at that time the $500.00 incentive will be applied toward the current year’s tuition or the following year’s tuition. Please check with the school office if you are referring a new family to our school.
