Funding for St. John Fisher School is
based on three major sources; tuition, fundraising, and parish subsidy.
Our goal is to maintain a standard of academic excellence while still
having tuition that is affordable for our school families. Three major
fundraisers are essential to the success of our programs; the
Magazine/gift catalog sale, Market Day, and the Annual Fisher
Feet/Feat Funathon. The first two projects allow participants to
purchase products they would be purchasing normally while also providing
a percentage of the sale to help fund the school. Profits from the
fundraisers are used to balance the annual operating budget and account
for $50,000 of that budget. Manna Coupon Program
Families may receive tuition discounts by purchasing Manna coupons
through the Church and School. Many local merchants and chain stores
accept the coupons purchased through the school. A percentage of each
purchase is rebated to the family toward tuition for each coupon used.
Market Day
Highest quality wholesale meats, produce and other grocer items are
available through the school on one Saturday each month. A large corps
of volunteers provide fast and efficient service to our customers. All
items must be pre-ordered through the school or church.
