St. Frances Cabrini School works diligently to help offset the rising costs of tuition by asking our families to donate their time and talents to the school. Fundraising is an important and essential activity that helps to ensure our financial health and keep a Catholic education within the reach of all of the families of our community. Monies raised through these activities help the school fund salaries, programs, and supplies while maintaining affordable tuition rates.
Each family has pledged to participate in these fundraising activities at the indicated minimum levels as a member of the St. Frances Cabrini school community.
