Parent Teacher Group
The primary responsibility for
Resurrection School's Parent Teacher Group (PTG) is to foster the
relationship between home and school so that parents and teachers
may cooperate in the development of the whole child. The PTG
hosts several social events a year and 4 major fundraisers, all
designed to bring families together to build community and to
support the school.
Why do we fundraise?
The true cost to educate a child at most schools
exceeds the tuition rate in private schools or what the state
provides on a per student basis in the public schools. As a
result, parents are stepping in to fill the void in an effort to
keep tuition rates affordable for all families of our community.
Major 4 Fundraisers
More than 75% of PTG fundraising proceeds go directly to the school
to help offset operating expenses and minimize tuition increases.
The remaining funds are used for facilities improvements, enrichment
programs and classroom activities.
Our four major fundraisers account for
approximately 90% of our PTG budget. Resurrection School
families have several fundraisers they may choose to participate in
to meet their $600 family goal.
- Holiday Sale - 50% of all profit
goes towards your family goal
- Walk-A-Fun - 100% of all profit
goes towards your family goal
- Scrip - 4% of paper scrip, and
1.5 -25% of electronic scrip based upon merchant
- Auction - 50% of the purchase
price of the item donated
75% of all purchases
100% of sponsorships
Miscellaneous Fundraisers
These fundraisers either supplement the PTG budget
or contribute to the Science Camp for 6th graders or Student Council
leadership camp. Participation in miscellaneous fundraisers is
optional.
Social Events
Our social events are meant to foster a sense of
community and fun for Resurrection School and parish. Family
participation in the social events is optional. The social
events usually contribute a small amount to the overall PTG budget.

Volunteering
Community
is one of Resurrection School's biggest strengths. Whether
it's helping with a social event, chairing a fundraiser, serving hot
lunch, helping out those in need, shelving books in the library, or
driving on a field trip - it all adds up to being part of our
community.
Families are asked to volunteer thirty (30) hours
a year to support the school. There are so many different ways
one can help! Contact the school office
if you are interested in volunteering your time.
Community Outreach
Our school-wide community outreach programs are
designed to support the needs of the larger community in which we
live. Additionally, these programs develop a sense of sharing,
helping, and compassion for our students. To date, the
students have raised enough money to build three (3) one-room
schools in Nicaragua!
